If, like your Author, looking at Blur makes you want to get drunk and jump and down and sing a lot, the Viewer will find this to be an amusing pastime. However, if the Viewer plans to watch the whole DVD with all the videos, following these rules, the Author would recommend a sleepover, since nobody will be able to walk by the time "No Distance Left To Run" begins. Don't say I didn't warn you.
This game is recommended to be played with something light like a nice lager or a pitcher of gin and tonics, heavy on the lime, tonic and ice, and light on the gin. Or, you could be safe and do the now traditional "sugary tea ", but you will be wired and jittery and prone to violence by the end.
