Blur - Beetlebum
Yesterday was a Blur day. Have you ever woken up with a song already in your head for no apparent reason? That's what happened to me yesterday. It was not a crossover from a dream as far as I can remember but was dredged up from deep inside my subconscious somewhere. Its curious how the brain works, I had not listened to Blur for many a year and yet there it was, fresh in my mind.
I chose this song because I see it as one of the more underrated songs from their extensive catalogue. Blur are perhaps most famous for songs like Song 2, Parklife, and Country House. Although I do quite enjoy these songs they are often over-played so much so that they are all too familiar. I used to be quite fond of The Universal but now all it reminds me of is the British Gas advert.
A bit of Blur goes perfectly while watching The Ashes on TV (especially if England aren't doing too well) and if the cricket is getting dull you can just concentrate on the music. So if you are a fan of Blur or not quite sure, I would recommend you have a listen to their Best Of album and find some tunes like this one.
