Blur \u2013 \u2018End of a Century\u2019 (1994)<\/p>\r\n
Blur were one of the leading bands of the Britpop scene in mid-1990s UK music. This song was the fourth single to be released from their commercially and critically successful third album, \u201cParklife\u201d. Two of the preceding singles \u2013 \u201cGirls and Boys\u201d and \u201cParklife\u201d were big hits, but more than that, they almost came to define that era of music.<\/p>\r\n
\u201cEnd of a Century\u201d was less successful in terms of chart position and has always been overlooked because of the memorable songs that were released before and after, but it is still a worthy song.<\/p>\r\n
At the same time, the band became embroiled in a media-manufactured \u201cbattle of Britpop\u201d with Oasis. The two bands were presented as polar opposites: Oasis were a foul-mouthed, working class band of northerners, while Blur were from art school down south (and were also foul-mouthed). Things came to a head in August 1995, when Oasis released \u201cRoll with It\u201d and Blur released \u201cCountry House\u201d on the same day. Blur won that battle, reaching number 1 as Oasis were number 2. The rivalry was at various times quite unpleasant, with members of both bands making regretful comments. Many years later, Blur\u2019s Damon Albarn and Noel Gallagher of Oasis would become friends and collaborators on various musical projects.<\/p>\r\n
But my main reason for choosing this song this month is that the opening line, \u201cthere\u2019s ants in the carpet\u201d, seems appropriate for the renewal of my annual battle to plug all the holes and gaps in my house to stop ants getting in. Ah, life in the countryside!<\/p>\r\n
