1220.0. "Blurt" by BALZAC::STURT (Totally wired) Wed Jun 08 1994 13:53

    Tell me all you know about Blurt. I heard a report on them on the radio
    on Saturday morning and liked what I heard.

All I know is they have a great tune called something like "Walk the Dog"
and have horns.

    I think someone called Ted Milton was involved. He used to be a poet as
    well, but, to quote the man himself, "not *that* Milton'. His one great
    moment was a protest poem against the use of sheep in high-pressure
    hose-pipe crowd control technique experiments at Porton Down. It was
    called "Bang Splash Baa!" if memory serves correctly, and I quote it
    verbatim here;
    
    "Bang
    Splash
    Baa!"
    
    Then again, I could have the wrong bloke entirely.

    My mistake. That should have read Blur. I promise not to do it again.

    Borrowed Blur's LP "Parklife" last night. Great record. "This is a low"
    is brilliant. Might even think about buying it myself.

    Parklife has been short listed for the Mercury Music Award, quite
    rightly IMO.
    
    It's a great album with no two songs sounding alike, although most of
    the songs sound like something you heard long ago but can't quite
    remember where.
