Verse, Chorus, Monster! by Graham Coxon
2.75
I have read a few music memoirs and a lot of them don't seem to embrace they were a pop band, this is also one of them. It seemed like it was Coxon trying to convince us (and himself?) that Blur were "arty" and had deep lyrics when I don't think the average fan sees them that way? I am left with the impression that he would have preferred to have been in a different, more underground band with a not so "laddish" look. In saying that I did enjoy this book enough to finish it, I would have liked to seen a non conventional biography from him instead of the usual "we got to together, things were great, problems, things are okay now", it would have been interesting to see him tell his story through art or just something that wasn't borderline boring (or at least add a bit of gossip in it to keep us interested).
