As far as I'm concerned, the bass line to Girls & Boys is the closest anyone's ever got to "Good Times" by Chic.

Ah yes, good point. Bloody hell you could almost do a whole album of Blur's "lost" songs couldn't you?

For Leisure, I'd put I Know on the album and put it out as a single instead of Bang. For MLIR, I'd have put Coping out instead of Sunday Sunday. The band probably agree with me. For Parklife- This is a Low instead of End of a Century. For TGE, It Could Be You instead of Charmless Man For 13, a 3 mi...

OK quick question,

Can anyone name a British bass player from the 90s who's as well renowned/as good as him?

No I can't either.

Maybe this question was asked before, but this one is for people who actually listened to blur as they were making records in the 90's. What was your reaction to the self-titled record when it came out? I mean, this was quite a big shift in both sound and lyrics, and this might have changed the opi...

I love TMW. 8/10 I'd definitely put it above Leisure and Think Tank and on a par with TGE. But it's definitely not in the same league as MLIR, Parklife, 13 or self titled, all of which are 9/10. My only criticism (and that's too strong a word) is that with the exceptions of Lonesome Street and Ong O...

So would anyone like to guess what massive event in Blur's history kicked off, literarlly 20 years ago to the day? I'll give you a subtle clue: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Blur-Country-House-54546.jpg I have mixed but mainly positively nostalgic feelings about the...

I genuinely hope he is. Apart from anything else, it would definitely boost sales/interest

11 weeks in the Top 75 isn't that too shabby really. That's longer than Think Tank and the same amount of time as MLIR.

Does "I Know" count?

No one ever talks about the "Blur" theme to Sunnyside Farm (what's there to say tbh? It's shit). Its easily "their" worst song for me alongside Alex's Song and One Born Every Minute. This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BLoYlI3F6E" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Fucking hell, t...

Graham wouldn't touch Gorillaz with barge pole

Scaled back from things such as featuring Bruce Willis for example.

Jupiter & Okwess International were the best support band imo, but I enjoyed The Horrors and Metronomy too. Drenge not too much really. Am I the only person who checked out Kitty Davis & Lewis? I thought they were really good. I love old school blues, RnB. Same vibe as Vintage Trouble who I saw sup...

I never got to see them play it live, which is a real shame.
