Bit Of A Blur

By Alex James

Book Overview

I was the Fool-king of Soho and the number-one slag in the Groucho Club, the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band. This was no disaster, though. It was a dream coming true.'

For Alex James, music had always been a door to a more eventful life. But as bass player of Blur - one of the most successful British bands of all time - his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted. In Bit of a Blur he chronicles his journey from a slug-infested flat in Camberwell to a world of screaming fans and private jets - and his eventual search to find meaning and happiness (and, perhaps most importantly, the perfect cheese), in an increasingly surreal world.

Customer Reviews

Quite good

Very nicely written book by the bassist of Blur, who was probably one of the less interesting figures of that group. It does however show a man's life during his tenure in a very very popular group during the golden Britpop movement. The cover is very beautiful and worth the price alone. recommended. It shows the excesses of life in a rock band in a mush more intelligent way than what you can read in the recently published books that I have also reviewed.
