Looking back in time… memorable moments in sonic history!
‘Beetlebum’ by BLUR
Twenty years ago – 20 January 1997 – BLUR released the first single of their 5th, eponymous, album. Frontman/songwriter Damon Albarn revealed afterwards that BEETLEBUM was about using heroin with his former girlfriend Justine Frischmann (Elastica‘s frontwoman). He called the track lazy and sexy. I never experienced
heroin but that’s how that British number one hit precisely felt & still feels today.
Relax and slip away…
Fifth album released 10 February 1997 – 20 years ago soon…
