Blur - Pressure on Julian - Modern Life is Rubbish the production of Modern Life is Rubbish was quite troubled: initially rejected and then accepted on the condition that two more tracks were added to drive it forward. At one point, Cope entered the scene (yes, the "Julian" in the title is indeed him), before Street took over completely (until "Blur", it would be sort of a fifth Blur, then he would return with The Magic Whip) #blur30
