They should devote a half hour show to Britpop( I know that's
becoming an archaic term now, just like electronica will be this year).
Not only Blur, but Suede, Lush, Ride, Cast, Mansun, Stereolab, Echobelly, James,
etc.

Ok ......I don't know if its just me or what. I was watching MTV today & I
saw the video for Beetlebum for the first time.I've seen the video for Song2
once. Am I just missing all the Blur videos or are they just never playing
them aside from around 2am. By the way I'm talking about MTV not M2 & I'm
from the USA.Oh well luckly I had my trusty vcr remote in hand upon seeing
both videos and taped them.Sorry I'm rambleing ( I know I can't spell) .What
I really wanted to ask is what everyone thinks of Blur's videos?
I really like the two I saw.One more thing what other songs have videos ( I
know there are videos for Girls & Boys ,and Parklife I've just never seen
them) and are the other videos good?Sorry if these are really old lame
questions I was just wandering ,I'm a recent fan of Blur you see I have all
the cd's but thats about all the Blur stuff I can find Oh well thats enough
complaining (waaa I can't find any Blur)he he he .I'll just have to make a
trip downtown.Thanks for listening,
Kim

Well thats MTV for you,their too busy playing Puff Daddy
video's or any of the other useless shit they shoved into
their pathetic rotation. The only time i ever watch MTV is
during 120min. thats the only time they play good video's,
it is also where i saw the video for "Beetlebum" for the
first time. So i dont really have an opinion on Blur's
video's,im just greatfull when MTV actually plays them to
care what their like. :-)

Blur have made a *lot* of videos, between 3 and 5 per album.

Probably the best are The Universal, which is in the style of "A Clockwork
Orange", MOR, which is in the style of a 70s action film, Parklife, which
just fits the song beautifully, and Country House, which is in the style of
a Carry-On film (erm, if you don't know what carry-on films are, then
imagine Benny Hill crossed with Are You Being Served).

They play them lots on MTV UK, so I suppose you could always
emigrate........

Or we could all e-mail EMI saying they should do a video
compilation..........

They're just never playing them at any time.. around 2am or otherwise.
Shameful, innit?

These songs (singles) have videos:

1. She's so high - Great hair (!)

2. There's no other way - It's got 2 versions: Blur having lunch with a
family; Blur singing in a swimming pool.

3. Bang - Never watched.

4. Popscene - Changing shots every minute!

5. For tomorrow - Cool black & white one filmed in London.

6. Chemical world - not seen.

7. Sunday Sunday - (ditto)

8. Girls & Boys - 2 similar versions with people having fun in swimming
pool as background.

9. To the end - glamorous!!! The actress is beautiful! Story about
Graham being the husband but the wife having affairs with Damon. Then
Graham killed her....

10. Parklife - Funny! Alex is pretty being Cindy and Dave being Ken.

11. End of a century - I've watched the live version only as in
Showtime.

12. Country house - soooooooo cute! Playing something like monopoly.

13. The universal - Everything's white! So pure! Damon looks great
wearing one eyeliner!

14. Stereotypes - Live version from Mile End concert.

15. Charmless man - I love this the most! Ironic story with Blur just
like ghosts following the charmless man everywhere!

16. Beetlebum - The shot when Damon looks up at the camera singing
"she's a gun..." really kills me!!!!!

17. Song 2 - How could they crash so hard to the walls?

18. On your own - Graham hiding behind the wall!

19. M.O.R. - Blur not participating but stuntman.

Hope this could help!

What the hell is M2. In Canada we only get MuchMusic and the french version
of it MusiquePlus.

It's an altmusic version of MTV they have in the US.

Understandably, since MTV US is a total load of arse.
