Rich BunnellHOST
Sometimes they picked the weirdest 30 seconds.
Rich BunnellHOST
I remember before I bought the self-titled album by Blur, I was so confused by the 30-second clip.
Rich BunnellHOST
They had a beetle bum, which was just the strangest 30 seconds of the song.
Rich BunnellHOST
Anyway, we'll talk about Blur some other time.
Rich BunnellHOST
So Libby, unlike Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, but you did have a goth phase, correct?
Libby CudmoreGUEST
It wasn't a phase.
RussellHOST
At number 10, counting backwards, of course, is a Gorillaz song.
RussellHOST
That's Damon Albarn, isn't it, from Blur?
LisaHOST
It's not an AI group.
RussellHOST
It's a funky kind of vibe about it.
David HepworthHOST
It's two records, yeah.
Mark EllenHOST
Yeah, Blur, really good stuff.
Mark EllenHOST
93 to 95, Modern Life is Rubbish, Park Life and The Great Escape.
Mark EllenHOST
Again, lots of good records later, like Think Tank.
James ReekieHOST
We'll take that.
Matt BuckHOST
This is song five, the lesser known of Blur's songs.
Matt BuckHOST
We're back on form.
Matt BuckHOST
Oh.
James ReekieHOST
We'll take that.
Matt BuckHOST
This is song five, the lesser known of Blur's songs.
Matt BuckHOST
We're back on form.
Matt BuckHOST
Oh.
Dan DunbarHOST
I was thinking of perhaps going with a track by one of the many Gorillaz collaborators.
Dan DunbarHOST
But instead I'm going to go with something nice and simple and tenuous, linking from the band name Blur.
Dan DunbarHOST
So if your vision is a blur, then you've got bad eyesight and you probably need to get yourself some glasses.
Dan DunbarHOST
But when it comes to heartache and heartbreak and seeing your lover in the arms of another, some might say that you're better off not being able to see at all.
JoshGUEST
I'm not someone that really listens to the lyrics, unless they're fucking awful.
JoshGUEST
One of my favorite bands is Blur, but their first album, Leisure, the lyrics are just like, it's like they lobotomized him.
JoshGUEST
But the lyrics to Hum are always really interesting and romantic and yet scientific at the same time.
JoshGUEST
I haven't often heard that sort of mix before.
18 MINS LATER
JoshGUEST
Um, this album came out in 1999 and, the singer Damien Albarn, obviously Gorillaz fame as well.
JoshGUEST
He just broke up with his long-term partner in the 90s, who was the singer of Elastica.
JoshGUEST
And a lot of Blur's albums to those points were kind of like written in the third person and like really like clever sort of observational pop songs of just brilliant guitar.
JoshGUEST
Because, you know, Graham Coxon and Alex James, great guitarist and bass player, but They just allowed themselves – he sort of indulged himself in more of Graeme's music taste, more American sort of indie music on their self-titled album beforehand.
emzaeGUEST
I've never been like that.
emzaeGUEST
But I think that you're... people the artists that you like it just you naturally absorb the things that you like about them and i think all of every creative every artist every author every musician or whatever is is kind of like little pieces of everything that they've absorbed over time so with that caveat in mind yeah i would say um i'll list a few people so i love the melancholy and the diversity and genre of Damon Albarn's music, who is from Blur and Gorillaz and various other things, operas, all sorts.
emzaeGUEST
I love Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple, I love a producer called Danger that did a lot of things in the mid-late 2000s.
emzaeGUEST
Britney.
ToddHOST
I said I caught myself off guard.
ToddHOST
We are talking Park Life album by Blur, a British band, and that's all I got.
ToddHOST
So let's get into it.
ToddHOST
Riley, what are your least favorite tunes?
18 MINS LATER
RileyHOST
I mean, their most popular song, like song two is like nonsense lyrics in a lot of Like, it's just kind of meant to be a joke.
ToddHOST
And what most people in the U.S. probably know them for.
ToddHOST
If you do know Blur, you're going to know them for song two off their next, maybe second album after this one.
ToddHOST
And, you know, and so it's definitely Blur.
Jacob BenfieldHOST
I mean, they got back together in 2005, but that's basically it.
Jacob BenfieldHOST
And then, you know, bands around them, the Stone Roses, Oasis, Blur, everything just became huge and they all referenced that band, but they just disappeared.
Jacob BenfieldHOST
But the bassist, John Power, who I've... become a little bit obsessed with who is the definition of a cosmic scouter to me he went on to form the band cast and I've been told that I'm the only you know the only fan of them in the world by someone who works in my office with me but I did see them supporting Liam Gallagher a lot of Gallagher mentions today but Yeah, there's an amazing video of the Lars playing Kast's first single, All Right, in Venice in 1991, three years before it actually got released.
Jacob BenfieldHOST
And fun little fact, John and Lee are also both wearing these referee tops.
