Day 458: Country House, Blur

So I guess one good thing about being forced to continue Covid Island Discs for another month is I get to cite multiple songs from bands like Blur and the Smiths: both these bands I did not cite until what I thought was the final week of Covid Island Discs so therefore it seemed at that time they were both only ever going to have one song in my giant Youtube playlist. Well now I can undo this injustice. This is another Blur classic!

This has to be one of the most English bands of all time. Their accents are just so distinctive with their “Lundeners”-type shrill. Like Madness, this band produces songs with a comical feel to them. Realistically Blur should have made an appearance on Covid Island Discs before the final week.
