Yeah, I'd put money on those pics being from 96'. You could tell that they had been touring non-stop for two years by the look of them. :lol: It's amazing how bad the date keeping is on official books and videos. Alex's book has a couple of glaring errors and he's the writer and the guy actually in ...

I love the end of Country House when there are three melodies going on at the same time.

I think it was the first live gig of the 2009 campaign, I'd love to hear a bootleg because the atmosphere looked amazing and they didn't have room for the back-up singers or trumpet players, so it sounded quite raw, almost just the band by themselves.

I don't know if this was ever the object of a discussion, but dit The Jesus and Mary Chain influence Blur? They toured together etc., but was it ever mentioned or audible? By the way, the sound of Far Gone And Out always reminds me a little bit of Bang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v4AAd00dSQ I...

Damon Albarn interview - Música sí, TVE1 Spain, 1999 filmed in Stockholm where Blur held the official warm-up gig for "13" album. Edit: reuploaded this --> Blur in Paris (1994) Edit2: Blur The Great Escape interview 1995, filmed in London, shown on Japanese Space Shower TV Never seen the last one, ...

Blurs best work always has a sense of the seasons about them. I think of Autumn when I hear Beetlebum, I think of muggy summer heat in a forest when hearing Wood Pigeon. Fools Day has obvious references to Spring, but even without the words, you could imagine a crisp blue sky and a sharp refreshing ...

Sorry for the zombie thread, has anyone got a scan of that interview? Ta!

For the last 15 years I've said (and witnessed countless others online doing) that Damon's latest music Isn't as good as his earlier work.... and as usual I'll love it by the twentieth listen.

Agreed. I don't like the homophobic/bling bling types of rap music you sometimes hear on mainstream pop radio (I assume that's the type you had in mind?), but I realise it's only the thin top crust of the genre. Like how you get those pop-punk bands that sell licensed teen rebellion, I know that onc...

I love the Puritan myself, a synthetic keyboard sound, with lyrics railing against the synthetic music business. Damon always does that type of duality really well. Mostly.

The old ice-cream vans used to play it.

The singers voice reminds me of the vocalis from Anthony and the Johnsons.

If David Bowie met Graham Coxon in 1969? Imagine that Lol, you'd have Blur more or less.

I rate it maybe 6-7/10. Why so high? Because there's actually a beautiful melody and harmony behind the Gorillaz' oddball production. It is basically a hymn-like song that would work nicely on the piano and vocals alone. Some guy posted a half-finished piano cover of the song: https://www.youtube.c...
