A raucous, behind-the-scenes account of the year Blur got back togetherThere is nothing that can touch the sound made by a close-knit group of people who have been playing together for years and years and years, playing as though their lives depended on it. For many years, all our lives did, and actually, I’d suddenly realised, they did still.

One winter’s night, Alex James received an unexpected call. Blur had been invited to play their biggest gig ever: Wembley Stadium. The only trouble was, he and his bandmates hadn’t spoken to – or even shouted at – each other for years. And he now had five children, an out-of-control menagerie of cats, and a sprawling farm to run.

This is the story of what happened next. Taking us behind the scenes of a raucous, rollercoaster year, Alex describes how the band made a surprise – and emotional – return, recording an acclaimed album and playing sold-out shows around the world, from Colchester to Colombia and beyond. Plus: how he went on a crash diet to fit back into his ‘Britpop Trousers,’ somehow organised an entire festival of his own, and tried to perfect the recipe for a giant Frazzle. Over the Rainbow is a heartfelt and hilarious account of what it feels like to be catapulted back into the limelight with one of the world’s biggest bands. It is a love letter to Blur, to friendship and to music. And it shows us all that, however old – or hungover – we might feel, nothing’s ever truly over: it’s always just the start of the next thing.

Some of the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn/walked in! Super light on my feet. Nice casual looking and comfortable shoe for a reasonable price. I already brought 3 pair.

Great dressy sneaker to wear with business casual or jeans
Size: 11, Color: British Tan/Ivry
I got these for my husband to wear with jeans or business casual dress pants. They look sharp and professional and dress up jeans if you're going out. He says they fit comfortably and he can walk on them all day without his feet hurting. They are beautiful genuine leather so they don't get stinky. I got my husband's normal size and they fit to size.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

Mens Pirate Coat Steampunk Jacket Tailcoat
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This pirate‑style steampunk tailcoat is a fantastic piece if you’re looking for something dramatic and eye‑catching. The design has that perfect mix of Renaissance flair and steampunk attitude, with sharp lines, bold detailing, and a flattering cut that instantly elevates any costume. It feels well‑constructed for the price, with stitching that holds up and fabric that has enough weight to drape nicely without feeling stiff. The fit is surprisingly good — structured in the shoulders, tapered in the waist, and long enough in the back to give that classic tailcoat silhouette. Whether you’re using it for cosplay, themed parties, festivals, or stage performances, it adds a ton of character and presence. If you want a jacket that looks impressive, photographs beautifully, and brings a whole vibe to your outfit, this one is a great choice.
