The first two bars of “So Long You Pretty Thing” is one of the best parts of the new Spiritualized album. Pretty amazing to know Jason Pierce’s daughter helped him write it.

I had been listening to Blur’s self-titled album since it came out in March of that year. I was obsessed and knew the words to all the tracks with intelligible lyrics. My favorites were ”Beetlebum” and “I’m Just A Killer For Your Love” along with (of course) “Song 2”. I was hyper-self-aware back then and thought people could read my mind so I kept sending out negatives vibes to people who only enjoyed “Song 2” or the self-titled album. Even then, posturing myself for some semblance of hipsterdom sending the thought “poser poser poser poser” to everyone else. I can’t blame myself, I was just a stupid kid.
Blur will be closing the 2012 London Olympics.
