In a year that saw Nirvana, R.E.M, and Pearl Jam put out generation-defining albums, Spin Magazine named this band's 1991 album Record of the Year. 33 years later, this cult power-pop outfit remains a weird outlier sandwiched between the eras of grunge and Britpop. It's TEENAGE FANCLUB week!
Joining the show is animator, music video director, and self-proclaimed Fannie Mark Neeley (Aquarium Drunkard)! Mark and the guys explore the origins of TFC's rapid ascent from the Scottish indie-rock scene to performing on Saturday Night Live in just two years' time. The band's follow up to Bandwagonesque falls on deaf ears in America, but performances on BBC's White Room and Top of the Pops captures their persistent popularity in the UK. And the show discovers Oddville MTV, a similarly cult-like entity that grazed the periphery of mainstream America.
