Film Review: No Distance Left to Run

Film Review:No Distance Left to Run

A music documentary by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace that captures the 2009 reunion and tour from the British Quintet. A comprehensive documentary that captures a celebration of music and friendship. The directors did they're homework on this one for sure starting the film out with the beginning to the close end of Blur to the several side projects that they have taken. It's filled with commentary from the band and live behind the scene footage unearthed to the screen. I found the film to be refreshing and very enjoyable with it's colorful images. It's a time line of one of the quintessential bands of the 90s. Starting off with Damon and Graham meeting each other in grade school then reconnecting at Goldsmith University to form Blur with Alex James and Dave Roundtree. If you were curious about the 90s British music movement then this would be a must have for the library also for any Blur fan out there. This is going in my film collection.

4 out of 4 stars.

Blur Secret Show in London last night

BLUR IS BACK

Damon and rest of the guys are back at it finally. They released a new cd and played a secret show at Rough Trade Eastside Records. Blur was the quintessential band of the 90s for England and has to be my favorite band. Many people all over the globe are going bananas about this and causeing all their large shows to be sold out. I hope they come the states soon or someone at sxsw brings them here again. I've included some of the videos from the show. I can only imagine how amazing it must have been.
