MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 380 : Blur's "Parklife" turns 30! 25 April 2024


Blur's third album was released 30 years ago today, "Parklife" becoming inescapable, vastly outselling Pink Floyd and leading the transition of culture from Nirvana to the 'Britpop' ascent of Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede. Lead by "Girls And Boys", followed by "To The End", "Parklife", and "End Of A Century", the lightning-in-the-bottle moment saw Blur connect violently to the world they were coldly judging, with a slight cruelty in the lyrics alongside a surplus of below par B-sides and a surprising and clear riposte from Pulp the following year. Gloves off! 25 April 2024.
