I'll put my hands up and admit that I'm not the biggest Bowie fan in the world, but even I can hear that this new Blur song is more than a bit similar to 'It's No Game (Pt.1)' from 'Scary Monsters'. There are so many similarities. From the laidback swagger, Graham Coxon's almost out-of-tune guitars, and even the vocal delivery in places. So you've got to wonder how close you can get to your inspiration before you cross the line. This doesn't mean I don't like it, though. It's a solid enough track, but I've heard it already.
