Before Britpop & Cool Britannia, Blur were just 4 lads from Colchester finding their feet. On Talk 90s To Me, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social chats with @daverowntree.bsky.social about those chaotic times and his brand new book of pics from the band’s early days!

For much of 2024, I transcribed the diaries of Edna O’Brien by night and edited our film about her by day.

I couldn’t believe it when she died. She seemed capable of willing herself to live forever.

Here's to Edna for obsessing us all 💚
