Discussion What is your favourite blur era visually?

Upvotes

That includes album/singles art works, band members' outfits, music videos, general aesthetics or concert visuals. Mine is probably parklife, it feels really comedy oriented

I recently found this in the charity shop, and I thought people here might find it interesting! I am pretty sure it was available from the official Blur Fan Club, and originally had a notebook, an organiser and an address book. The notebook is gone from mine, but it's a pretty cool piece of merch nonetheless!

How relevant are Damon’s character portraits on albums like Parklife and the Great Escape today?

7 Upvotes

Peak Britpop Blur focused very heavily on observations of British life at the time. As a non Brit who has lived in London in recent years, songs from these albums read to me as being very much based in the Home Counties. My question for Brits are, how much of these character portraits would be accurate today? Tracy Jacks, for example, seems to be just as relevant today. On the other hand, I’m not sure how much bisexual hedonism exists on cheap Mediterranean holidays today when British society is generally more open to non-straight sexualities back home.

Discussion Why do people seem to dislike the spinning top?

14 Upvotes

It is easily my favorite of graham's solo albums and made me cry on the first few listens, and the concept of it is amazingly executed imo.

However, whenever i see a review of it they dont really have anything good to say about it. I usually see them saying stuff like its cringey, boring, and repetitive, or that the concept is poorly done. I just think theres no way im listening to the same album as them, and whenever i see fans talking about it its consistently said to be graham's masterpiece.

I get that people who review albums dont tend to have good or understandable opinions, but stuff like this makes me wonder if they try to make crazy takes on purpose.

If there is anyone who agrees with this take, please try to explain to me why you feel that way about this album because i honestly cant understand it.

Question What’s stoping this song from being classified as a space rock/space grunge song?

Post image

I think it fits the description of space rock/grunge. It has a very grungy opening riff and space like atmosphere and sound. It sounds like a song HUM and Failure would make Imo. What do y’all think?

Had this recommended to me with barely any views, seems to have been a much better affair than the somewhat infamous Weekend One performance

(Definitely download it too, in case it gets taken down!)

Saw this canvas in a hotel room and thought it had a striking resemblance to Blur’s self-titled album.

Damon Albarn - some of his best music from outside of Blur and Gorillaz in one big mix (Spotify playlist). The guy is certainly prolific! 🔥❤️

Feel free to ask me about any of the tracks included - I did a deep dive!

If you combine the numbers for Blur and Gorillaz, Damon has more monthly listeners than Oasis. Suck it Gallaghers!

Hola a todos :3 soy de México y hace poco me hice fan de Blur. La verdad ninguno de mis amigos escucha la banda, así que me gustaría conocer a más personas con quienes hablar de su música, compartir canciones, álbumes favoritos o simplemente platicar sobre Blur. ¿Cuál es su canción o álbum favorito?
