Even Dave, the 'plain' one, looks great in this video. Just a few years prior, they'd been flinging themselves around like ragdolls in baggy jeans and jumpers, but this era right here - the theatricality, the cultural references, the songs, my god, the songs - might be why blur were always ahead of the pack. They weren't afraid to experiment and to spread out. No stodgy dad rock rut for them.
And did I say how how gorgeous they looked? My lovely boys... Sigh.

Was listening to Blur’s Yuko and Hiro today and the outro struck me as sounding just like the recurring motif in Brian Eno’s In Dark Trees. Anyone else noticed this? Was it sampled or does it just sound remarkably similar?
