GAVIN NOVEMBER 10, 1995 Is American rock radio once again opening its playlists to the UK music monster? And is it a monster this time? Gee, with all the hoopla lately you'd think the Psychic Friends Network had just pre- dicted that a giant comet was going to hit the Earth a week from Tuesday. While the general public may still be blissfully absorbing 120db of Green Day through its collective stereos, unaware of the impending attack, the U.S. music .E.41,3r2.41. industry (at this point, mainly in the form of hysterical trade publications) seems ready to declare "Invasion!" Actually, a number of seemingly unconnected events have combined to transport us to our cur- rent location at the crest of this-potential- latest wave. Amazing coincidence or psychic phenomenon? You be the judge. First, the drumbeat of discontent from the UK music industry has been getting louder in the last few months. The basic message being, "Why aren't more of our bands breaking in 311EIE by the U.S.?" Apparently, they don't understand our fas- cination with Hole and Pearl Jam. This frustration has only been compounded by event number two: the feud between UK bands Oasis and Blur. This is the British equiv- alent of the O.J. trial, and everyone over there is amazed that we've barely heard of this little ruckus over here .(This is proba- bly because the Brits haven't realized that we lost interest in profes- sional wrestling about eight years ago.) Sea This sort of leads to event number three.

The idea was to bring KROO's trio of adds that week, he was very careful and very considerate together American music professionals to explain how U.S. pop radio in his response to the British invasion query.
