Is it for a bet?

By Caleb on Thursday, February 1, 2001 - 08:12 pm:

What are you talking about is it for a bet? I want to listen to their music cause it has been suggested to me by others.

Start with Blur, Parklife, and Modern Life is Rubbish.

By Joe on Thursday, February 1, 2001 - 10:06 pm:

Ha ha...bet!

Get the Best Of, it's a good introduction to the more obvious side of Blur. Then get Blur (the one with song 2) and then 13...gradually work up to the genius that is Modern Life is Rubbish.

By Caleb on Thursday, February 1, 2001 - 11:30 pm:

I still don't get the bet thing but oh well. Thank you very much

I'd probably go surfing around some Blur sites, picking out some sound samples first. You can get an idea of people's favourite songs without having to buy the CDs. The official site has a few sound samples up.. as does this one.

It's great isn't it? I'd re-read it if I didn't have fuckloads of stuff to do. And if I had a copy...I borrowed it from Ian originally.

By kacy on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 03:45 am:

Oh, I agree, if you really want to educate yourself about Blur that's the book to read. I've got a copy but I've only been able to completely read it twice. However, you can open it at any point and be somewhat educated/entertained by reading a few pages.

By Eddy on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 02:27 pm:

Educating/Entertaining?? Sounds like a Blue magazine.

I am planning on making a movie; a movie celebrating Eddy's existence.

.......................................'EDDY!'
.......The story of a good, solid New Zealander...

Do I have any possible investors out there? Come on, pay up! pay up!. It's for a worthy cause - and there will definitely be a return on your investment! I think the tag-line will really sell the movie to the punters. I can just see crowds of people milling around an advertising hording outside of a cinema. "Oh my God," they'd say. "The story of a good, solid New Zealander!!!!1 At last it is here, at long last! I must see this movie now."

Yes sir, I'm onto a winner.

I'll put one hundred pounds into this venture!!! Can we get that fat ginger kid from Grange Hill to play Eddy?

By seeAtoothDoctorRottenMouth on Thursday, February 8, 2001 - 03:55 am:

you fat bastard lucky charms eatin austin powers lookin bitch

By Arresting Occifer on Friday, February 9, 2001 - 01:55 pm:

Well! I am glad to see I have roused some interest in my project here at Coping. 100 pounds, do I have 100 pounds from the man in the speckled suit? Why, with the value of the Australian dollar at present, that 100 pounds could go a long way to completely funding the venture!

And a red-head kid to play EDDY? I like it! How very symbolic - his flame-touched head of hair is the physical embodiment of the eternal flames of passion which growl in his bowels. Bascially this film is going to span EDDY's entire life (I have an uncanny presciencial ability) so if we start with this red-headed fellow from Grange Hill dressed up as a fiesty youngster in short pants, then we'll also need a few more red-heads to play EDDY as an older man. Oh, how the world loves a ginger!

The role of TEENAGE EDDY has already been filled. I have a close personal soulmate known as Colin (one or two of you may have met him already) who fits the bill delightfully. As for TWENTY-SOMETHING EDDY, I'm a little lost. Any hints? Any sexy red-headed male actors out there?

Maybe I'll have to run a brief advertisement with the International Acting Agency. I have a limited budget so I'll have to be thrify with my words -

"URGENT - ONE ADULT GINGER REQUIRED. MUST LOOK SMASHING IN SEXY SHIRTS AND VELOUR FLARES."

Haha, the little yr 9 called Spencer out of Grange Hill lives down my road. i used to beat him up. not a red head though....

Can i book a ticket for "Eddy"? And have you considered making it into a Broadway musical?

By GHERKIN on Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 08:44 am:

AM I GOING TO HAVE A ROLE IN THE MOVIE TOO?

By Eddy on Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 01:42 pm:

What a load of old bollocks.

By Ian on Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 02:13 pm:

That thing about the flames of passion in Eddy's bowels was one of the funniest things I've ever read. Well done sir!

By Eddy on Monday, February 12, 2001 - 11:51 am:

Welcome back Ian.

And for the sake of all the birds on Coping, I am not actually ginger.

By indigo on Monday, February 12, 2001 - 10:56 pm:

eddy, i think it's about time we had a fuller description of you - im beginning to get a pretty twisted view!

and btw ian, where have you been?

By Eddy on Tuesday, February 13, 2001 - 02:15 pm:

Well Indigo, you are a London girl are you not?? You can meet me in the flesh if you really desire to.

By The Occifer on Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 02:08 pm:

As part of the worldwide publicity campaign for;

..............................................EDDY!..............................................
........................The story of a good, solid New Zealander.........................

we are going to have a way-cool promotion running! Basically, if you turn up to the cinema dressed as EDDY you get free entry. That's right, free entry to see EDDY!

Now I must admit that we had some fiesty arguments over the boardroom table. The producer thought that we'd lose an awful lot in Box Office Sales because so many people would just be so eager to dress up like EDDY and take to the streets of their town. But I told them all not to panic and to listen to some reason and commonsense for once. "What the fuck do you think I am? I'm not in this for the fucking money, guys! I'm not in this business to make a fucking fortune. If I wanted to be fucking rolling in cash by 25 I would've studied fucking Business at Uni. But I didnt, I studied Fine Art. So just shut up and let the world have some fun, eh?" That silenced them once and for all. So with that little issue sorted, we then couldnt decide whether to restrict the promotion to ADULT EDDY or also include TEENAGE EDDY. Anyway, my side of the debate won out in the end, and we are now including both EDDYS. So, all you have to do to get a ticket to any prestigous screening is this - come dressed as ADULT EDDY (ie, tight velour flares, sexy white puffy shirt, big ginger afro) or TEENAGE EDDY (ie, skin-tight matching tracksuit, ginger mullet and braces) and you'll be straight in the door and treated like a star! Trust me, I'll see it done.

Occifer sounds like one spun out lady. A harpy. What wank.

By Song_1 on Thursday, March 8, 2001 - 06:41 am:

to get into blur you must look at their roots, Damon father was Chaz from the legendary chaz and dave, with such hits as rabbit. Damon was so influenced from a young age. Damon met Dave in a fish shop and led to the two forming one of britains most influential band of the 90's. Their first chart success came with 'ice ice baby' the legendary song that tells a story about the history of ice the song got to number three in the charts this waas only the begining for them.........(to be continued)

By peter on Thursday, March 8, 2001 - 11:59 am:

Why has this turned to some sort of 'let's-make-a-dedication-to-Eddy-posting'
we now all understand Occifer's loyalty to Eddy

Hey LAD! I hope that was a typo and you meant to write 'laddy'...
