Damn, man, I'd forgotten this entirely, and am, of course, now dancing.

Sweet little combination of melody, lyrics, vocals, and reverb.  Permanently on my party playlist!

edit:  Jeez!  Is this really twenty years old??!!

I'm not crazy about some of Blur's music, but I like this piece.  Very 60's retro.

They were a nice little pop band, I have nothing bad to say about them.

This Android widget is awesome! Now I can take Radio Paradise with me everywhere. Blur's cool too.

Daaaaaaaannnng man, these guys really DID define the way music would sound for years afterward, didn't they? And Damon Albarn (and the other guys too) have all continued to produce nothing but awesome.

I have this cd - it's the first release from Blur, not an outstanding cd but it has it's moments. This is one of the better songs off it. Brings back memories from the early 90s - when shoegazer bands ruled {#Music}

There's hate both ways....it's far less one way then that...the North's full of great people and idiots just like the South is.
That whole Blur Oasis thing was just a media thing...The Beatles and the Stones did it years ago.

I was about to write the very same thing. But it's Syd without the playfulness, insight, genius and LSD.

You only have to listen to the fucking accents. Of course Blur are from London, Oasis, Stone Roses from Manchester (ie. dumb, incomprehenszible and northern).

They suffer severely from the 'cool paradox'.

They just try too hard to be clever and 'cool'. Not that I particularly hate them either.

As a London band, Blur were the antithesis to all things Manchester. The Oasis / Blur thing was partly a class thing, partly a geographical thing.
