A raucous, behind-the-scenes account of the year Blur got back together
There is nothing that can touch the sound made by a close-knit group of
people who have been playing together for years and years and years,
playing as though their lives depended on it. For many years, all our
lives did, and actually, I’d suddenly realised, they did still.
One winter’s night, Alex James received an unexpected call. Blur had
been invited to play their biggest gig ever: Wembley Stadium. The only
trouble was, he and his bandmates hadn’t spoken to – or even shouted at
– each other for years. And he now had five children, an out-of-control
menagerie of cats, and a sprawling farm to run.
This is the story of what happened next. Taking us behind the scenes of
a raucous, rollercoaster year, Alex describes how the band made a
surprise – and emotional – return, recording an acclaimed album and
playing sold-out shows around the world, from Colchester to Colombia
and beyond. Plus: how he went on a crash diet to fit back into his
‘Britpop Trousers,’ somehow organised an entire festival of his own,
and tried to perfect the recipe for a giant Frazzle.
Over the Rainbow is a heartfelt and hilarious account of what it feels
like to be catapulted back into the limelight with one of the world’s
biggest bands. It is a love letter to Blur, to friendship and to music.
And it shows us all that, however old – or hungover – we might feel,
nothing’s ever truly over: it’s always just the start of the next thing.
The End of Roc Isle was a false prophecy. Or was it? Lord Azure
commands the Northern Army in a war against the Trade Lords, who
are a class of conspirators. He fights to defeat evil. However, his
leadership is failing because of his son's insolence and personal
ambition. He relies on Ankah, a battle strategist and master
swordsman, to prevail. But will Ankah be enough when they encounter
the monolithic horned beasts known as Dregs? A Tempest of battle is
about to sweep across the land, and even the strong won't survive
