Interviews Music - About UNDER THE INFLUENCE By Dean Shakespeare
	Back in the mid 90's, after the Hacienda and Madchester hype had died down, the press pigeon-holed the whole new breed of guitar music coming from the U.K. and labelled it Brit Pop.

	Tea is said to have been discovered in 2737 BC by a Chinese emperor when some tea leaves accidentally blew into a pot of boiling water, and although this sounds as absurd as a nude midget wrestling match in the middle of red square, apparently it's true.
