Did anyone see them on this tour?

I'm not a big fan. I loved Park life in the 90s, I thought Boys and girl was a fun novelty song but when a friend tried to force Think thank down my throat some years ago, I hated that album. So I'm not sure if I should go see them.

Sounded very cynical and commercial even the first time I heard it.

Why cynical? Doesn't a lot of The Beach Boys music sound commercial to you?

Anyway, this is historic. You should see it.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

It is. It is also great. Blur were one of the great bands of that era, go for it.

And there weren't many. Pulp and Spiritualized being the other two.

Since the early 2000's, Blur have been (rather cyncially, I think) pushing themselves as a 'box set' band: the South Bank Show special, po-faced articles galore....as if they have some incredible back catalog legacy that's been criminally undervalued. I see they've just released an 18CD 'career retrospective', which is ludicrous. They just seem to be driving this campaign to have their averageness elevated to the level of (for example) The Smiths.

They've had their moments for sure, but they're just not as good as they seem to think they are.

18 CD's!
