Best of Brakfast Episode 174 Yana Bolder
Friday in 1995 felt different. By the time you finished work, college or your YTS placement, the whole weekend stretched out in front of you. No group chats. No constant notifications. Just a plan, loosely agreed sometime that afternoon, and the promise of a good night.
Maybe it started at home, getting ready with the radio on, hairspray in the air and someone arguing over what to wear. Then it was down to the local, where the jukebox was king and the first track set the tone for the night.
If it was Britpop heavy, you might hear Oasis or Blur echoing across a packed pub. If the DJ leaned more dance, it could be The Prodigy shaking the floor or Faithless keeping everyone there for one more track.
And if you stayed in? It was a takeaway, a VHS rental and maybe an episode of Friends before heading out later. The night felt simple, spontaneous and full of possibility.
There was no documenting every moment. No carefully curated posts the next morning. Just stories retold on Monday, slightly exaggerated with every telling. The music, though, that part stuck. One song from that era and you are straight back there, feeling 19 again with the whole weekend ahead of you.
So what did your Friday night in 1995 look like? Local pub, student union, club night or sofa and takeaway?
However you spent it back then, you can relive the soundtrack now. Turn it up with Atom Radio and let Friday night begin all over again.
