If you have a scanner, please scan them! :nice:

 

My favourites from Leisure are There's No Other Way and Wear Me Down, but Sing and She's So High are close behind. They sound so sure of themselves through all of the songs, it's incredible.

 

(Well, not through all of them, but the majority, I find.)

Sing and There's No Other Way are such good songs, especially Sing, which I would probably say is in my top 3 Blur songs.

 

Ok I think my top 3 would be something like this:

 

1) Out of Time

2) Sing

3) Bugman

 

What about you guys?

I have a hard time picking favorite songs. I go through moods. But right now I think it would be:

 

End of a Century

This is a Low

London Loves

That's just so hard!

Maybe in no particular order: Coffee and TV, There's no other way and Beetlebum

And I don't know why but Sing makes me cry

 

& I think it's cool how Guy loves Sing and he put it on in the Coldplay dressing room and he said it inspired the song Lost! Even tho he said Lost! sounds nothing like Sing, some how it still inspired them to write it. :D

Oh I didn't know that! Guy has great musical tastes :awesome:

 

That's awesome for the book! Wanna see the pics :cheesy:

Yeah, he does. Guy has mentioned Blur a few times in interviews, he says he really likes them :nice:

 

& I didn't even know this until the other day. But I guess around the time CP were just starting, trying to get a label and all. Alex James and Joe Strummer were starting their own record label together and they went to hear CP play. I guess they thought the singer was good, but the rest of the band just ok. So they passed on Coldplay. I just found that lil connection interesting :D

So cute and lovely! :nice:

Really nice pictures. He was so cute when he was young ! :wacky:

 

I just came back from the last Supergrass concert in Paris and they played few songs from each of their album with a vidéo to introduce each. And the vidéo for their first album (I Sould Coco, 1995) was magazins covers !! So a lot of blur and Damon. Cool night :cool:

that made me laugh, how he face goes all shocked and wide eyed

 

and wow supergrass! its a shame they called it a day, definately an underrated band.....

OK i just have to say, Alex's book is BAD... he is just BAD!!! :whip: Such a little bad boy he was... i can't even explain without all the raunchy details... NAUGHTY ALEXA:whip: I'm so glad he got it all out of his system and he is a nice daddy farmer now :nice:

oh so now Alexa is curious about Blur huh? :p Sometimes i call Alex that because he is such a pretty boy, Alexa!

 

just him and all the cocaine, champagne, hand jobs, one night stands on every other page he talks about... typical rock star behavior, but he makes it funny! :lol: i luv him tho :wacky:

^Hahaha how could you still be innocent when you share your bed with Liz? xD

Crazy story and crazy face

This face should have been the book's cover.

 

You saw Supergrass...?!& hey have you read Alex's book? I can't remember if you already said so or not?

No I havn't. I would like to but I think that I have to improve my english first. I already read a biography about Damon and the "3862 Days: The Official History" book but It wasn't that simple to understand.
