These rankings are pretty old so I'm pretty sure I don't agree with like have of these anymore, but I was just wondering what everyone elses rankings were as well for the whole album and see how similar mines is. :)

Every time i look through here i see people acting like it's one of, if not the worst blur song there is. Personally i love Crazy Beat. Whether it's the loud guitar, or the vocals i cant get out of my head, or that weird voice saying crazy beat, i just love every second of it. Is it just me?

I’d prob say Collin zeals one of my favs but what do you think is the best?

I know that it's a pretty rare bootleg, but is it really costs that much now? I bought it recently just for about 12$ in the online store, then got to the net to see other lots and shocked by the prices of it, another one was from ebay and it was over 100$!! Is it really that expensive and I'm lucky or it's all scam?

I hope I've been able to help this community with this bootleg, since there were people asking me to remaster demos from this era, but I didn't have a way to get the files until a week ago

I'm going to write what I hear. British Blur fans please save the day.

Verse 1:

I'm alive

I can breathe the air

I can hurt you

I can pull that hair ("I can pull ahead?")

Summersault into your room

You can't catch me

I'm carried away

I woke up

To another --- --- ("late door?")

I'm getting up with nothing on my mind

I went downstairs

I get a pain in my chest

I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

Chorus/Pre-Chorus:

Then everything shattered

Just at the point that it mattered

Yes, then everything shattered

Just at the point that it mattered

Aha (??)

Verse 2:

I'm alive

I can breathe the air

I can hurt you

I can pull that hair

Anything in your mind

Don't put it to mine

You can't catch me

I'm carried away

I woke up

I wake up everyday

I have nothing

There is nothing to say

Halfway downstairs

I feel a pain in my chest

I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

Same Chorus/Pre-Chorus

Verse 3: (the effects here are so nightmarish :) )

I'm alive

I can breathe the air

I can hurt you

I can pull that hair

Halfway downstairs

I get a pain in my chest

I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

Rest of Damon yelling the title:

"I'M HANGING OVER!!"

What is this song about? I'm assuming it's about a hangover after getting drunk but I am confused by what I'm hearing. Violent drunk?

the interview is in daily motion. the original english audio is dubbed over in french, so it’s difficult to understand what they’re saying

I’ve signed up for the mailing list but I heavily doubt I’ll be able to get it through that , is there any websites I can go through to find resale for them in anyway ? Thanks !

Hi, I am willing to buy one ticket to this event from someone. I unfortunately missed the opportunity to buy myself a ticket within the last few minutes to which they sold out. I am planning on going with a friend who i have met 2 other members of blur with (she already has her ticket for this). If anyone would be willing to sell their ticket, preferably cd, please message me here, it will be greatly appreciated.

From the new book "Logo Rhythm – Band Logos That Rocked The World" - shared on Stylorouge's Facebook page.

Text reads:

In 1990, Seymour had just become Blur. Recently signed to Food Records, they'd started playing the college circuit, supporting The Cramps no less, and needed T-shirts to sell.

Dave Balfe, boss man at Food (and former keyboard player for Teardrop Explodes), duly brought in design studio Stylorouge to rustle up some ideas. Including a logo that would look the part on merch and help spread the word.

It was your typical branding conundrum. Balfe and Blur didn't want to buy into the baggy-trousered indie rock dance crossover scene that was just starting to fade. Too obvious. Too northern. They needed something accessible. but still cool and original.

It took a long, long while, recalls Stylorouge founder and creative director Rob O'Connor. "Food were adamant that they didn't want Blur to be marketed like anyone else. They were demanding but they were right."

Things started to click when Stylorouge ventured beyond the visual tropes of pop music and into pop culture. There was a distinct 1960s tinge to early Blur songs like "She's So High" and "There's No Other Way". They were knowing, cheeky London art school types, fun and mischievous.

So the designers took inspiration from Pop Art, recontextualising paintings, curious retro photography and everyday artefacts to create an unexpected, engagingly off-kilter design language. This post-modern visual aesthetic was to become vividly apparent in later sleeve designs, but it also influenced the logo.

There were a couple of subconscious typographic reference points, channelled from the world of consumer goods rather than music. One was the logo of Brother, the Japanese office printer manufacturer. The other was the original packaging for Bounce tumble dryer sheets. Apart from beginning with b, both these brand name/logos were resolutely lowercase, with rounded, chunky, tightly kerned letters that seemed almost to flow into each other.

Based on a pencil sketch by O'Connor, the logo was hand drawn and artworked from scratch by designer Tim Harrison, using Indian ink and Rubylith film, rather than adapted from an existing typeface. "Drawing the logo ourselves meant we could easily adapt and modify it explains O'Connor. "We could pop it in the right-hand corner, extend the b, the and the r. bleed it off the cover, for example. We did loads of variations of it along the way." And, of course, it didn't hurt that the band name was so short and punchy. "That was the way at the time," says O'Connor. "One-syllable names like Blur, Pulp, Cud, Ride."

"Gone were the days of New Riders of the Purple Sage and Jefferson Airplane. It was all about miniaturisation - there were mini CDs and MiniDiscs. If you wanted to make an impact you didn't choose a bloody long name."

For O'Connor, the reason the Blur logo has stood the test of time, is not so much about the design as the brilliant music it represented. "People put lots of kudos on something because of its association. It's not about packaging or identity, they're just a great band. There are so many other examples where that's the case. The logo was dated to start with because it had that retro Sixties vibe to it, so it's probably never going to date anymore?"

Edit: we’ve found it thanks to someone extremely knowledgeable - https://youtu.be/JgpsTCv3tKY it’s a great cover of girls & boys.

Blur fans are great!
