BLUR AT THE BBC (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 2 broadcast: 9th July 2023
Featuring classic single and album releases from their entire career, alongside interviews with presenters across BBC radio.
From their very first album Leisure and singles She's So High and There's No Other Way, through Modern Life is Rubbish to the battle of Britpop and the huge success of Country House and Girls and Boys, via The Great Escape, Blur and 13 to their brand new album, these long-time friends talk through the highs, lows, emotional gigs, scraps and reunions.
Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and David Rowntree remember their first rehearsals, influences and early chaotic performances as Seymour, before they were picked up by Food Records and then nearly dropped, before their mischievous, satirical and angry critique of British culture becoming more American in Parklife, brought them a completely new audience.
Blur are half art-school and half squat-punk, according to Graham, with very personal lyrics and intense competitiveness matched by the emotions of audience response and a love of playing new music with colleagues, who are more like a gang, but can only stay together when they are all getting on.
They have long and close relationships with all the presenters featured here, from the early days of Evening Session with Mark Goodier, followed by Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq and in depth career conversations with Stuart Maconie.

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 7th March 2017
As the band play major shows in South America and the USA, there's another chance to hear Stuart Maconie chart Blur's success from the early days of Britpop to the release of their seventh album, "Think Tank".
The series looks at where the band came from musically and talks to those responsible for signing, recording and producing them. The band all have their say too!
It traces Blur's success with "Leisure"; through the lacklustre sales performance and record company arguments which afflicted the making of "Modern Life Is Rubbish"; to near bankruptcy and the breakthrough of their third album "Parklife". This sold in excess of 1.2 million copies in the UK alone and launched Blur into the platinum league.
It also covers their rivalry with Oasis and how they changed direction with the "Blur" and "13" albums, before looking at "Think Tank" and how life is different without guitarist Graham Coxon.
This documentary was first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2003, the same year Blur released "Think Tank" and is repeated as part of the My Generation season.
