The Story Behind: Blur - Parklife, Ep 228

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Blur were London's answer to the Madchester movement up north but grew into Brit-Pop force to be reckoned with (or competed against) in the charts after Parklife became a hit. The fellows welcome a very special first time guest and discuss bellends, geezers, and being knackered in the village green.
