"Pleasent Education"

HOOOOLY SHIT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THIS
I've always loved this little tune

....And don't forget the Blur punk ep live gig that was cancelled the day before, fan club invite, all very strange, lots of 2000+ Blur history we still don't the full story of. Ah, this is the biggest mystery since B-Roads... I still remember so clearly how excited I was by this. And then......abs...

Chemical World AND Sing should both have been on. Throw "No Distance Left to Run" in the bin

Best album since TGE for me. Amazing what a good producer can do.

agreed. I love all the songs on this album. But to each their own

yes there are better, but as i said the novelty of it would be that they would be on vinyl for the first time just a best of the bsides would be something like this: A: Fried, I Know, Explain, Inertia, Luminous, Popscene, Bone Bag B: Mace, Es Schmecht, Young And Lovely, Anniversary Waltz, Threadnee...

Damon: A tough one... I'd say The Great Escape. Underrated but the songwriting in general, and the lyrics as well, superb. Vocally though I prefer him from 13 onwards. Graham: The Self-titled. "You're so Great" is a gem of a song Alex: Leisure. I think this is always the most underrated album, even ...

wow, been a blur fan for 20 years and never thought i'd encounter a song i'd never heard before (1992 mix), cool!

never noticed there were 2, are they on youtube?

Wow, time flies. It's my favourite Graham album and one of my fav Blur-related albums as well. Was pleasantly surprised how good it was, as I wasn't a huge fan of his solo work before. I love every song and Ribbons and Leaves is an amazing closer

fk'in cool! any videos?

Did Pleasant Education make it onto any release? I've always loved that demo

Super cool! Well done. How long did it take to perfect that?

The lyrics other than Sing are just so empty. Even There's no other way, I mean what the hell is it about lyrically? Mr Briggs actually is one of my favourite Blur lyric. Wear Me Down, Come Together, Fool, even Bang isn't too bad. Not too far off from songs like Blue Jeans, Oily Water, Resigned on ...

Inertia
Uncle Love
Down
Close
Mr Briggs
Luminous

Leisure is the easy winner for me
