- Graham is moody bastard and super whiny.
- Alex was/is very good
looking.
- Beetlebum[1] is one of my favourite songs. The chord changes between the verse and chorus in that song are perfection.
- It's about heroin (supporting the hypothesis that most good songs are
about heroin[2]).
- During the height of the Blur v Oasis hype, someone (possibly Damon) moved the release date of Country House to coincide with Oasis's release of Roll With It, which it then beat to number one.
- According to Damon everyone hated him after that. Whenever he entered a shop there would be muffled giggling and then an Oasis song would start.
- Alex wrote a book about the band where he said he considered Graham his best friend. Graham read the book and was like "what, really??".
- Graham generally thought Damon was a soul-less and career minded and was surprised by the emotion expressed in the songs about his difficult breakup with Justine from Elastica.
- When they reformed and played Glastonbury the crowd singing along to Tender was pretty awesome[3].
