    Not feeling it on this one, to be honest. To me, Song 2 is a very rough song, distorted in a way. This is way too clean, which is surprising, considering that this is literally a bunch of floppies...

      That's fair. I despise Blur as a band, but have some pretty strong memories associated with Song 2 since it was one of the anthems of my youth... so perhaps that's why this cover struck a chord...

        Can I ask you why? I am not a grand fan either, but I've never seen anyone use the word “despise” when talking about Blur.

          Dave Rowntree has since cleaned up his life and apologized, which Nardwuar accepted, but it still doesn't change my feelings towards the band.

            Fair enough. Never seen that video, but that was indeed rather douchey.
