There's a sentence in here trying to fight its way to the surface.

I think the "casual racism" thing is all down to the fact that they thought "Um, we have a Japanese character, what shall we call him? How about NOODLES!"
(I'm not sure if I quite agree with Mr Price here but he did tip Riviera for next year so I feel like I've got to defend him, even if he is only seeking vindication for ROMO)

One tries. Meanwhile, Riviera then. I'm waiting for a band to call itself Miami Vice or Eldorado.

I think Blur will sadly be remembered for their more horrible moments (Song 2, Girls & Boys, Parklife) than their better (This Is A Low, Coffee & TV, Chemical World, On Your Own, Best Days etc). God I want to hear some stuff of theirs RIGHT NOW!

That's because you fail to heed Flavor Flav's advice, and you BELIEVE THE HYPE!
I was a huge Blur fan for a while, hunting down their most elusive tracks by hook or by crook (this was pre-internet). However, unlike their more ardent supporters, I tend to prefer their earlier stuff (the rot set in circa Parklife). I'd sooner play Leisure than any of their last three albums.

+ everyone comes off badly in 'Live Forever', Liam especially but there's no surprise there.

Alex OTM re: singles
Some of the best b-sides ever were by Blur, IMHO. "I'm Fine", "Mace", "Day Upon Day", "Mr. Briggs"...
Although I too would not have expected this sort of thing from Alex. Well, thirty lashes on the gallows for me, I suppose.
