About this listen

 Success catapulted Alex James from a slug-infested squat in Camberwell to a world of private jets and world-class restaurants. As "the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band" life was always chaotic, but Alex James retained a boundless enthusiasm and curiosity at odds with his hedonistic lifestyle.

In Bit of a Blur he recounts his experiences living through the madness of Britpop, detailing both the pleasures and perils of fame. 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.

Alex James is the perfect chronicler of his generation: witty, observant, frank, and brimming with joie de vivre. Bit of a Blur is as charming, funny, and deliciously disreputable as its author.

I found myself listening to this within the space of 3 days ( which for me is pretty good considering i don’t usually enjoy audio books that much but thought I’d try it out) Alex James goes into detail on his life before Blur and of course after. I think this is a great book.

Great book!!

Just had credits to use up and as I was in my 20's during the 90's thought this would be worth a listen to, which it was. Would recommend
