	Blur - High Cool (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		According to Damon, this song is all about Ibanez-type holidays that consist of "sex, sun, and sangria." 'Girls and Boys' entered the charts at number 5, their highest single entry to that date.
		This was a troublesome song to record and was in danger of been left off of 'Parklife' as recording for the album was coming to an end.
		The 'Parklife' sessions then broke up for Christmas and over the holidays, Damon stayed in a cottage in Cornwall with his parents, playing the backing track of the song repeatedly on his Walkman as he strolled around the Cornwall cliffs at night.

	Parklife (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The song also played a part in Blur's supposed feud with fellow Britpop band Oasis when, at the 1996 Brit Awards, Oasis' Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher, taunted Blur by singing a drunken rendition of "Parklife" (with Liam changing the lyrics to "Shite-life").
		On the reverse is written End of a Century, the title of a song from the album Parklife (and Blur's next single).
		The song is still very popular today, with occasional radio plays and regular appearances on music television, in shows such as "The Best of...

	Blur: Parklife ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Parklife pulled them out of the indie ghetto and into the British tabloids, but a foolish, if fun battle with Oasis overshadowed 1996's The Great Escape.
		It was to be the last of Blur's trilogy of English Life albums, and 1997's "Song 2" made them a surprise favorite in America's football stadia.
		It didn't, of course -- this is a shamelessly pop (and populist) record, and arriving as it did in Britain after three years of shoegazing, grunge, and ambient techno, the boldness of Blur's conceptual pop statement cannot be overestimated.

		At a time when Oasis were aping the sounds of their pub-rock heroes on Definitely Maybe, Blur drew from the legacy of the Kinks and Small Faces to create an album that's as English as a rainy Sunday in front of the gas fire.
		Parklife is full of songs that, quite frankly, don't make much sense outside of the British Isles, songs that find joy in the mundane, like "Girls & Boys" (a song about working-class holidaymakers in the sun) and "Parklife" (a day in the life of a cheeky, unemployed bench-sitter).
		the lyrics in parklife sums it up 'i feed the pidgeons i sometimes feed the sparrows too' this is the kind of music that should be played to 3 year olds.

	Blur: Parklife - PopMatters Music Review
		What excited me so much at the time was that Parklife opened up musical doors for me. When I bought the album, I was a 15-year-old high school sophomore immersed in the mainstream alternative rock of the time, and highly conscious of what was "cool" (by a 15-year-old's standards, of course) and what wasn't.
		With Parklife, Albarn created a series of sketches that outlined a portrait of the British working class that was at once affectionate and crass.
		The song winds itself more tightly on the choruses, with Albarn's vocals reaching into the falsetto range (as they often do), then seems to unfurl like a spring, with a few seconds of near-chaotic guitar squalling before settling back into the rhythmic verses again.

	Nude as the News: Blur: Parklife
		Parklife is the centrepiece of Blur's "English Life" Trilogy, a youthful pop brew of bombast and Britishness.
		Nearing the millenium, the dullards surmise, "is nothing special." The song's musical textures and catchy chorus, however, don't echo the characters' sentiment as much as illustrate it.
		Parklife catapulted Blur to superstardom (at least on their home turf) and it still retains much of its vigor.

	[No title]
		Parklife fuses U2, Wilco, Supergrass and Kerouac to create its relentlessly engaging sound, and plays every note with a reckless abandon that reveals a band desperately clinging to the belief that popular music should be more about communal experience than test marketing.
		The resulting Parklife's debut EP, “Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam.” was the last project to be recorded at the fabled studio.
		Parklife is currently on the road playing shows to support its release of the "Someday Lovesong" EP, a three-song sampler from "a sampler from “Songs from the Imperial Hotel,” which includes the single “Someday Lovesong.”which is currently scheduled for an early 2005 release.

		Most songs are just a lot of sounds basically that have no substance to form a quality song.
		Parklife is the quintessentail 1990's British rock album, taking the Englishness of Modern Life is Rubbish to it's perfect apex.
		Ushering in the Britpop style, "Parklife" is full of the upbeat music that makes Britpop what it is, yet it also includes a few ballads and deeper songs that round out the album well.

	CD Baby: PARKLIFE: Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam
		Parklife came together in the winter of 2002 when Rob Clay (bass/vox), Sam Clowney (guitar/vox)and Jason Bone (drums) began jamming on some original songs in the same Chapel Hill rehearsal space that gave rise to local heroes Ben Folds, Ryan Adams and Superchunk.
		Parklife is currently on the road playing shows to support its release of "Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam." Check out the latest news and dates at www.parklifeband.com.
		Parklife's Lonely eyes and Amsterdam Ep sounds nothing short of a classic full length album that was only stopped at four songs and put out exclusively for their loyal fanbase.

	Parklife Review \| Blur \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Parklife runs through the entire history of post-British Invasion Britpop in the course of 16 songs, touching on psychedelia, synth pop, disco, punk, and music hall along the way.
		The sound of this album encapsulates and in some ways was the zeitgeist for the massive brit-pop sound and musical movement of the mid '90s.
		There's the classic pop song, the joyous romp through english music hall, the phychodelic trips and dancefloor fillers all in one brilliant package.

	BLUR BOOTLEGS
		All the songs may not have been performed the best they've done, but this is the longest single CD bootleg yet, so there is a lot of material to listen to.
		The songs from the latest LP have a distant, unfocused quality that recall a lazy feel in some arenas (Death of a Party) and a brutal synergy (Song 2, On Your Own).
		When the song kicks in, Graham plays his guitar part wrong, then Damon stops the song and mumbles, "What the fk are ya doin'", followed by, "and he's the one who isn't drinking!" They restart the song** complete with a sci-fi keyboard ending.

	Albums of the artist singer songer: Blur - album albums songs work works
		Song 2 is the indie-rock extreme of the album rocking like a beast.
		Some of the songs have a demo feel to them and the so-called 'Lo-fi' production helps the album to flow well and give it a unique character no matter how diverse each of the songs are from each other.
		That is probably because it is a David Bowie song, and not an offensive manson song.

		Even much-lauded songs like "This Is a Low" are let-downs, because they don't display any real savvy for what makes modern music any different from the songcraft of the Beatles or the Kinks.
		Not to say that Parklife isn't a good CD, though, because it certainly is. Parklife is very commendable for its plainspoken variety, with a wide variety of musical styles that venture from moseying tracks like "Parklife" to succinct scrambling pieces like "Bank Holiday".
		Parklife establishes itself apart from other Blur albums in that it contains a lot of organ, much usage of a specific electronic sound effect, synthesizers, and the occasional violin and horn, yet is mildly comparable to my second favorite Blur CD: "The Great Escape" with the majority of its rhythms.

		When Graham Coxon was working on this album, he was cracking up (still is) but his meltdown started at the peak of they're fame- his intention by rumour was to create something a song/album that noone liked just to try and get out of the lime light.
		Beetlebum only reached number one because it was blur- the song about Albran's girlfriends heroin addiction, and what the NME critics say- the demise of Brit pop (oh so ironic, yah!) is hardly something you would want to replay as a fave unless your a stupid enough indie kid to believe all the hype.
		Do yourself a favor and download song 2, or buying the single- Bustin and Drowning is an okay piece of follow up durge to the song, and Country Sad Ballad man serves as average effortless thought material.

		Her actions have been closely monitored by the government, but she remains an influential leader and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
		The first time I heard it was on Friends they recaped all the episodes when the show was over, and played walk on at the end I cryed and everytime I hear this song it reminds me of Friends my favorite show ever and I cry when I hear it.
		I've heard that Joey Ramone was listening to this song as he died (or was dying).

	Blur : Parklife - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Modern Life Is Rubbish established Blur as the heir to the archly British pop of the Kinks, the Small Faces, and the Jam, but its follow-up, Parklife, revealed the depth of that transformation.
		Relying more heavily on Ray Davies' seriocomic social commentary, as well as new wave, Parklife runs through the entire history of post-British Invasion Britpop in the course of 16 songs, touching on psychedelia, synth pop, disco, punk, and music hall along the way.
		The legions of jangly, melodic bands that followed in the wake of Parklife revealed how much more complex Blur's vision was.

	Parklife by Blur CD
		Wearing the hat of a Ray Davies-type sociologist, Blur's Damon Albarn weaves tales of modern London laced with the suspicion that indeed, the empire HAS ended.
		Albarn's fascination with urban decay was apparent on MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH, but with the followup PARKLIFE, Blur embraces the modern.
		Graham Coxon, the guitarist, is the key to how fresh they sound, he brings punkish, indie rock leads to each song on this album.

	Amazon.com: The Best of Blur: Music: Blur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Opening with the chart one-two of "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" (from their eponymous 1997 watershed album) rather than the baggy groove of their debut single, "She's So High," it's apparent that they desire to accentuate their more recent efforts.
		From the tuxedoed ballad "The Universal" through the cartoon Brit-pop of numbers such as "Parklife" and "Country House" to the freshly recorded indie-influenced "Music Is My Radar," their searching intelligence and deft hooks are never less than admirable.
		the songs mean so much more in their proper context, which makes a good greatest hits record an impossible task for a band like blur.

		Friends of Parklife who had come specially for the event were cheered by the good weather and proud to see the progress of their daffodil bulbs, planted at our second event, way back in last November, and now getting ready to flower for St. David's Day.
		New people attracted to the park by the good weather were interested to see the Parklife exhibition and our photo albums of past events.
