VIDEO THRWBCK: Blur - For Tomorrow (1993)
"It was f***ing scary how American everything's becoming,” Blur bassist Alex James would say later of 1993 full-length Modern Life Is Rubbish. “So the whole thing was a f***ing big two fingers up to America". Without wishing to extend two gnarled digits the way of an entire continent, can anyone reading this back home in the Kingdom please at least reconsider putting the decisive final bid in on that flannel shirt? You know, the one that says "GRUNGE ROCKABILLY 80S" in the description. Thanks. Perhaps you'd like to use the money to buy me a ticket to one of the Blur shows in Hyde Park this summer instead. The one that has Vampire Weekend in support, preferably.
