This is a Low…
In a recent story about new cyber-band Gorillaz I mentioned a “rather successful UK real-world band who have a co-writer credit with Bowie/Eno.” I don’t think I disguised too heavily that the name of that band is Blur. The Blur song M.O.R. was apparently considered indebted enough to ‘Boys Keep Swinging’ to earn the Blur/Bowie/Eno credit.
The January 2001 edition of Uncut has a review of Blur’s brilliant ‘blur: the best of’ that makes even more of the Bowie influence on the band. If you feel a twinge of interest, go here.
