10 Music LONDON CALLING! Blur Parklife (food)

um years ago, seventeen bands down the bill. Blur were the undisputed shock highlight of the Glastonbury Fesitival. As people Tgathered half heartedly to watch yesterday's indie (misters, Blur went re-invention ai.leshit. Damon (Madness suit, National Health specs) hung upside down from the scaffolding, thirty foot off the stage, screaming into a megaphone while the band pogoed through some bastard of punk an trashed their equipment. Having been kicked squarely in the chops and sent down by the entire music industry, Blur's story is one of virtually unique resilience. They've resurfaced again, less than a year after 'Modern Life Ls Rubbish' with an album rush released to clear their accumulated debts. And what a pulaver. gue'nor, this ones all over the shop. They've roped in Stephen Hague, Stephen Street, Laetilia Stereolab, Phil 'Quadrophenia Daniels; brass sections, cheeky keyboards and harpsichord tomfoolery abound and its hard to tell if Blur are taking the piss or trying to make seriously splendid music. Consciquently, at least three publications, not to mention Paul Weller, decide they're The Best Band In England. It's not all as immediately great as 'Modern Life...' but amongst the sixteen tracks, there are are two of their best songs e.ver,"Trouble In The Message Centre' and 'Parklife'. To The End' sets. Damon just about pulling off a Scott Walkerish croon and 'Bank Holiday' is so fast and so good its just daft. What makes Blur truly special, however, Is Damon's lyric. Who else could celebrate the banality of English life with lines like "A golfing fanatic/ But his putt is erratic" and 'The kids are eating Snickers/ Because they're so delicious"? It's been done before (The Kinks, The Small Faces) but never with quite as much irreverence. No one sings the words "Grandma has new dentures/ To eat the crust on pizza", for goodness sake. Cynical and celebratory of England in equal measures, as erratic as our very weather, these London larger loafers really might be the best band we have right now. Johnny Davis

Books 13 The Power of Love A Bone In My Flute Holly Johnson (Century £15.99)

t's difficult not to approach this autobiography with some scepticism when the sleeve notes inform you that Holly Johnson is "a multi media artist, singer, songwriter, poet, painter and Iicon of 80"s pop music". Many have prefered to cite the marketing prowess of Paul Morley as a main reason for Frankly Goes To Hollywood's prosperity; any 'multi media' success Holly has had since then has been sadly brief. It would have been far kinder to bin the embarrassing C.V and write instead that this is a hugely enjoyable, humorous and often bitchy romp through Holly's life, with emphasis firmly on 'being different' and 'buying clothes'. In fact, it has little to do with music at all. It starts with Holly being diagnosed with an "AIDS related illness" just days before Freddy Mercury's death became trivialized and patronised by the tabloid press. The book exists therefore as the opportunity for him to tell the Holly Johnson story before anyone else gets the chance to rewrite it From his parent-vexing adolescence to his pop star days its clear that 'moderation' and 'conservative' were not words that he much favoured. The most entertaining bits are his accounts of Liverpudlian adolescence where we are presented with a bewildering array of misfits and outcasts, most of whom have achieved some degree of success and repute (Julian Cope, Ian Baudrie, Aveline off Bread). The gay scene of the time is described in detail and with much relish. On one occasion the reader is informed how Holly lost his virginity to a Manchester primary school headmaster and on another how a British Airways steward "nearly ripped my dick off with his highly developed area muscles". Worldwide success and the ensuing fame are dealt with practicaly as a foregone conclusion with further entertaining revelations (George Michael apparently "can't take his beer", Elton John is "down to earth"), with the music often taking a back seat to an increasingly extravagant and absurd wardrobe. Holly proudly proclaiming that Frankle Goes To Hollywood were "without doubt the most stylish band of the eighties", although when he describes how he "was wearing a big fur Davy Crochet hat, a brown velvet wrap over tailcoat by Jean Paul Gaultier and a pair of cream Matsuda pants with a black strip down the sides", it isn't always easy to see why. To offset this is Holly's increasing alienation from the rest of the band and his growing distrust with ZTT Records. It's hard not to feel extremely sympathetic towards him on these occasions, particularly when we hear how he was often the recipient of the staunchly heterosexual band's childish japes; on one occasion, wearing Klu Klux Klan masks, they hounded him and his boyfriend into their hotel room. The subsequent split with both label and band and his brief solo career are afforded surprisingly little space in the book, as is his final emotional and honest reaction to his diagnosis. This book is never going to become a Penguin Classic. But what Holly lacks in literary prowess he more than makes up for with honesty, enthusiasm and a lifetime of anecdotes culled from a determination to do things his own way. High entertainment.
