    About Blur:
    Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
    Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

      They have their moments of "lucidity". TO be honest, I have a feeling that half of the tmes they were just being arrogant and stuff for the laughs. For the other half, they were just being themselves.

    I just started listening to this song today and Blur a couple of days ago. I’ve known about them for a while and decided to give them a listen. This song… man… it has a weird affect on me. It gives me this sort of nostalgia for some reason, and I don’t know why. I’ve listened to it at least 4 or 5 times today, and I cried the 4th time. It makes me sad… yet happy. The song is just so amazing and then Damon and his incredible dreaminess just tops it all off. And Graham’s incredible guitar playing…and the “oooooOOooooooo” part. Don’t even get me started on the ending… thats everything for me . Maybe its that Damon kinda sounds and looks really sad in this video to me. I don’t know. The song makes me feel as if missing someone or something and its to late to go back it cause its all gone… its really really weird and sad and happy in a way and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! All I know right now is that this is one of the most incredible songs i’ve ever heard in my entire life.

    "Beetlebum by Blur. it's the best britpop song. A superb song. Twenty years ago this choice would have been widely commented on, I agree. But I'm sincere, it sounds like The Beatles.

    Still one of my favourite songs of theirs. I'm sure it's been mentioned before somewhere but at the bit from 04:03, when Damon looks out the window and the camera starts to pan away from the building, it's as if the video is saying goodbye to that era of "Britpop" although of course the real end to that scene didn't come for another 7 or 8 months after this song came out.

It's just good old "indie rock". Nice but why bother when you have so many amazing bands writing original, intense music in the 90's, 80's, 70's and 60's...I can't think of a single (famous) British band of the past 2 decades that blew my mind, but if I had to choose it would be Kaiser Chiefs. But original, emotionally moving music just doesn't make it anymore.

    talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    i love the 4k quality, it’s so much clearer and crisp. it would be great if you guys did this for the other music videos, especially for tomorrow and girls & boys

      only works if they edited it all on film. many videos might have been shot on film, but edited on tape. and the quality is stuck at what tape is. for example, whams last cristmas video. some shots were on a tape camera and you can def tell a quality limitation. but yes, i would love to see many more videos re-scanned at 4k..

      They're only remastering videos from "Blur" (1997). "Song 2" has got remastered. I'm guessing "On Your Own" and "M.O.R." will get remastered as well.
      Edit: Nvm, looks like they're only remastering "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" and not the other two, which kind of sucks as I would love to see both of them in 4K, especially "On Your Own".
