bit of a blur
for alex james music had always been a door to a more exciting life a way to travel meet new people and hopefully pick up girls . but as bass player of blur one of the most successful british bands of all time his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted . success catapulted him from a slug infested squat in camberwell to a world of private jets and world class restaurants . as the second drunkest member of the worlds drunkest band alex jamess life was always chaotic but he retained a boundless enthusiasm and curiosity at odds with his hedonistic lifestyle . from nights in the groucho with damien hirst to dancing to sister sledge with bjork to being bitten on the nose by the lead singer of iron maiden he offers a fascinating and hilarious insight into the world of celebrity . at its heart however this is the picaresque tale of one mans search to find meaning and happiness in an increasingly surreal world . pleasingly unrepentant but nonetheless a reformed man alex james is the perfect chronicler of his generation witty frank and brimming with joie de vivre . a bit of a blur is as charming funny and deliciously disreputable as its author .
