 Rated 8/10
A good overview of the Britpop era by the bass player of Blur.

The book flies along at a good pace and is enjoyable and funny view of the ups and downs of being in a (successful) band during the Cool Britainna period of the 1990s.

It documents his excesses (he estimates to have spent £1m on cocaine and booze before sobering up) and the music scene around that time with references to his social circle that included the likes of Damien Hirst and Keith Allen.

He comes across as, rather than a rock star rebel, an intelligent man with good taste making the most of what his money can buy before slowing down and becoming a family man (with cheese!)

Worth a read whether you are a Blur fan or not.
