Starting from the horrifying realization that Oasis's "Definitely Maybe" was released 20 years ago this month, Simon and Ben proceed to drag you through an hour of Britpop nostalgia and a 17-minute argument about who won "the Britpop War" (more fun than it sounds, we promise).
There's only so much of that sort of nonsense that you (or we) can reasonably be expected to take, though, so there's also new music from the likes of Faded Paper Figures, Simian Mobile Disco, alt-J, Bag Raiders and Acid. Plus, confusingly enough, 90s band Garbage and their new single.
