I think there was a fake 00s as well. The No Logo, Kid A, anti-globalisation era which got wiped off the board by big things from New York (9/11, The Strokes, electroclash)

Suede are often seen as the first Britpop - real 90s - band but their mk1 incarnation has more in common with Shakespears Sister than with what came next. They also had a line into the Derek Jarman queer art scene which feels like the antithesis of where things ended up.

Think that layer upon layer of detail were very much a key part of Bowie's working post Tin Machine. Chris has probably written about it, IIRC there was a great discussion on @albumtoalbum.bsky.social with @leahkardos.bsky.social about the sheer layers of stuff Bowie layered into The Next Day.

This really sounds like Art / Be My God, the two "baggy" Suede songs the band had deleted before The Drowners came out. Niche.

The best way to sample Tin Machine I is via the 9 song video promo which makes it seem a bit more exciting than it actually is: youtu.be/3H0hS1lxq4I?...

It feels like that whole strata of Pitchfork music started middle aged. The National and War on Drugs were making mature comeback albums without a come to be back from.

PJ Harvey's Let England Shake I think really fit the bill here, and all those later era Nick Cave albums that sort of blur into one.

On second viewing I've found it a lot less egregious as I did on first watch. The run of episodes are a bit like that other cultural landmark of 1991 Tin Machine II - an auteur feeling the backlash of giving too much creative control to poorly chosen collaborators.
