Christmas 2019 18 | Living | Christmas 2019 FEATURE FROM POP STARDOM TO A LIFE OF CHEESE Nikki Owen meets former Blur bassist Alex James at his Cotswold farm to talk about his journey from pop superstar to acclaimed cheesemaker ‘Making music is the easy part. It’s such a lovely thing to have in my life’ lex James is currently just French at Goldsmiths, and it was there he five children – teenager, Geronimo, twins around the corner of his joined a band with fellow students Graham Artemis and Galileo, and Sable and Beatrix converted barn-come-party Coxon and Damon Albarn, who, along with – but it’s where Alex’s new passion began – place smoking a cigarette. drummer David Rowntree, became known making cheese.

She offers him a brief, kind smile. On the surface, Alex comes across as a little rock ‘n’ roll, and sure, there is evidence of that. There is the huge glitter ball hanging from the ceiling of the converted and very well-appointed barn house for a start, electric guitars leaning against the walls, rumours of New Year parties with the Soho House set, which includes David and Samantha Cameron, not to mention the 18 – yes, 18 – various kitchens the sprawling estate contains. But scratch a little deeper and I start to discover a man who is not just cerebral, but extremely caring, maybe, even a touch nervous sometimes. A man who has always loved cheese to the point that when he played with Blur in Japan, fans would throw boxes cheese at him, and most touchingly, a man for whom his family and his home are front and centre in his life. “I always joke about how I’ve made five kids, seven albums and six kinds of cheese,” Alex tells me. One thing’s for sure, Alex likes to talk about his cheeses, and rightly so. he packaging revamped and looking slick, there are now six premium flavours from a punchy cheddar to a silky T goat’s cheese. Last year, the cheeses were stocked by Ocado, as well as being available through UK-wide independent retailers, and as Alex tells me all about it, I ‘I always joke about how I’ve made five kids, notice how he jumps from subject to subject. seven albums and six kinds of cheese’ One minute cheese, next minute the Big Feastival and how much there is to do, then straight to his newly-launched, very hip cider called Britpop, all the while pacing. 20 | Living | Christmas 2019 FEATURE “Claire and I did a trip to Normandy to do cheese sniffing,” Alex suddenly tells me. I watch as he returns to his chair and his tone turns wistful “I’ve always wanted to be in France and just eat cheese.” This would be quite a touching moment, the way he’s reflecting openly like this, except right at that moment, I notice a tiny bit of tissue hanging from Alex’s nose. I’m torn. Do I tell him? I’d want to know if it were me. “I was walking up the ramp and it hit me, though he can’t remember my name.” I’m a And so, I deliver the news. “Oh,” Alex that I had this thing that I thought had gone bit choked, if I’m honest, the very warm way immediately says, sitting up from his former forever, and now I had it back, and I had, at Alex talks about his dad. slouch.

Esos días de ascenso a lo más alto (con una historiada disputa con Oasis) inspiraron buena parte de las canciones de The Great Escape (1995); desde el ánimo escapista de “Country House”, a la fantasía sobre antidepresivos en “The Universal”. Pero además marcó un punto de inflexión en su carrera, como su último material más decididamente pop. Comentarios Apenas recibió las copias del sencillo “Girls & Boys”, el bajista Alex James se apuró por mover los parlantes de su equipo hacia las ventanas, luego tomó uno de los discos y lo puso a todo volumen. Los vecinos debieron soportar por un buen rato la euforia del músico. Era la primavera boreal de 1994 y el álbum Parklife logró el primer lugar del UK Albums Chart. Resultó la coronación de Blur, que solo cuatro años antes tocaban canciones disonantes para universitarios ebrios, como los nuevos mimados del rock británico. Así les llegaron los premios, los conciertos con adolescentes chillones en las primeras filas y los pagos millonarios por las regalías. De la noche a la mañana, el grupo consiguió una alta presencia en los medios -e incluso una tira cómica propia en una revista-, gracias a una propuesta musical llena de guiños a sus intereses más arty, que habían afinado hasta volverla completamente efectiva.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.
