Blur : 3862 Days – The Official History by Stuart Maconie (1999, Paperback)
It’s tricky for me to review. It’s been ages since I read it. I’ve had this book since pretty soon after it came out, but for some reason never read it until now.
Unfortunately for Maconie, this book ended right before the most major event to have happen to blur since they were reformed, that is of course Graham’s departure and the following hiatus.
I get it, Maconie is a music writer, and knows a lot about it and for him it might be important to list every single influence on every single track. Drawing on the hours of exclusive interviews he has done with the band since their early days, Stuart Maconie offers a gripping insight into this intense, hedonistic quartet.
There’s a lot more now with another new album, Albarn’s solo career, Rowntree’s political endeavors etc In blur celebrated their tenth anniversary as a band and there were a lot blur associated things coming out – the two main events was the release of the band’s best album – 13 and this official bio which included interviews with the band.

Jen rated it really liked it Jan 07, Credo che, in sostanza, soltanto Dwys Life Is Rubbish abbia lo spazio che merita.
The coolest things you could think of. A great book if you want to know about the band, starting from their humble art school beginnings, to the golden age of Parklife, and eventually up until the completion of their last album, ’13’.
Preview — Blur by Dasy Maconie. A literary roller coaster of blood, booze, brawling, growing up, and what Britpop was at it’s finest hour, the author does a superb job at illustrating exactly what Blur was to the world in the 90’s.

And this a story of people, not musical notes. He gives you context about not just the music scene but the ba Last year, I saw Damon Albarn solo and decided to dig out all my old Blur stuff to get reacquainted with my favorite band from my teen years.
Blur: Days: The Official History |
The official story of the most significant British band of the 90s. Blur are important for me as they My version is the non updated one, which includes material on Gorillaz, Coxon’s departure, solo career and Think Tank.

I also really enjoyed the inclusion of brief but insightful track by track run downs of each album as they came up. The only thing I hated about this book is that it ends bkur As with most rock bios there are drugs but Maconie doesn’t really dwell on these things – rather he writes about blur’s role in the britpop years and then their rejection of it in order to move into weirder territories.
