Blur With Matt Sharp - Friends Of P

[TheSPumpkin100]

Ahhhh! Where is the live version of Country House with Mattt Sharpe!?

[kimballwhiting]

I bet, when rivers and matt are all old, they'll think to themselves "we would have been way sweeter if we figured out how to work with each other"

[IvyNirvana]

BLUR IS AMAZING....WEEZER WAS AMAZING..when Matt Sharp was in the band.

[ayeungturtle]

Genuinely surprised that a black hole does not open up between damon albarn and matt sharp.....

[LuaBloe]

Aww, i saw and recorded that show, it was in May '96! Loved Blur so much at that time! I still remember this song after not hearing it for like a decade if not more...Great memories! : )

[CrazyAssFromNorway]

fucking awesome!! :D:D

[ColorsBright]

ok that just f*cking rocked! Thank you

[RandomShortFilms]

It really sucks- Ever since Matt left Weezer, the band has kinda gone downhill. Blue and Pinkerton kicked ass. Mikey stunk. Like Walrus487 said, Rivers needs you.

[bilwit]

It's funny how the actual interview was extremely stale and awkward but the performances were off the charts! I never liked the mixing on Return of the Rentals and this live version is much more raw and energetic, the vocal duo is also very very cool especially with Damon's accent. When Matt played Country House with them they just absolutely lit it up. Probably the best performances of both songs EVER were done on this show.

[michael70425]

whos singing the high parts?

and they seriously look like brothers from an angle

[FellowMusicFan1]

That is awesome. Blur is my all time favorite band and I love Matt. This is just epic. Damon is so classic in this video.

[dailymanny]

man the 80s were awesome!

[FellowMusicFan1]

@dailymanny Yes they were. Except this is from the 90's.

[gokinsmen]

Damon's voice is perfect for The Rentals' songs...Matt should have gotten him to sing lead instead.

[gomerA7X]

holy fuckign shit

were has this been

[MrWoohoo1995]

Blur should tour with weezerI

I WOULD SERIOUSLY KILL FOR THOSE TICKETS!!!

[TRAmPLdUNdRfOoT]

the "ooh woo who who"s in this are pissing me off, blurs doing em too sharp blahhhh

[rds13601]

Awesome Rivers get him back in Weezer

[jarvizcocker]

WHY IS EVERYONE HIGH

[Jurific]

so great

[DonVitoZinampan2]

whats the name of the song in the end?

[dranzermc]

@DonVitoZinampan2 blur - country house

[DonVitoZinampan2]

thank you

[kvnknrd]

I'd like to know as well

[DallinCoons]

Anyone know what year this was?

[scimanuk]

@DallinCoons as blur are promoting country house I'd guess it was '95

[samuelk343]

DUDE! its fuckin BLUR with the fuckin RENTALS!

....AWESOME!

[ToastIsLife]

I heard that Matt Sharp has thought about playing guitar live for Weezer, though I'd love to see him write with Rivers.

[thedayitriedtodie]

@ToastIsLife

too bad he plays bass, actually...

and weezer already has one, plus 2 guitars

and i won't bother to research that, but i think that this guy's departure from weezer wasn't friendly?

[Zargon314]

man, that fuzz is incredible!

[Coreyvan38]

Song about time! New Rentals songs =D

[WTFvictor]

fuck yes

[Mckenna07pat]

is albarn playing the moog

[Goromike]

From what little I can see of it, it looks like a Moog Source to me.

[lifeanddeath234]

Is the keys player playing with a band called the Klaxons, now?

[GenericInsect1979]

Where's Blur's regular bass player?

[monosound81]

I think Alex stepped out for a fag or something but Matt's using his bass I can tell you that.

[GenericInsect1979]

Is he? I thought Alex James used musicman stingrays

[SashaShov]

When I first listened to the song it reminded me of Blur. So it's funny to see Damon in the video. Seems like Damon sings with some school band)

100% consumer society art!

[SashaShov]

Сытые идиоты)))

[lucasgaroto]

damon looks very much like jude law is this video!

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this performance !

[uktah]

Wheres the last part of country house??

[Draidic]

yuck, just plain yuck.

You suck for leaving Weezer Matt, and your band sucks too =)

[bilwit]

Weezer has epicly failed ever since he left. The Rentals > Weezer by miles.

[Neto808]

The Rentals is good. But Weezer is great with or without Matt Sharp.

[oompaloompaosborne]

Listen to Rivers alone albums. It shows Rivers isn't lost without Matt but rather in a different state of mind. Rivers genius still shines through without Matt Sharp just in a different style. I'll always love the Rentals and Weezer.

[Cloudburst]

Does anyone have footage of the Country House performance?

[karmenINtheMIRROR]

this is the worst song I ever heard from Damon´s lips by far! (I love him but this is horrible!)

who is the other guy singing with him???

[uktah]

matt sharp...and its a cute song, Damo's too adorable here...

[alvinpatacsil]

You don't know anything about indie do ya?

[bigkoolpirates]

mtv lover

[blrgrl]

Aw, don't they look lovely together?! Great performance!

[uktah]

Damo's so cute!

[Jazzzzzou]

E.P.I.C

[Walrus487]

Matt Sharp owns. He should get back with Weezer. Rivers needs you, man.

[bilwit]

lol both matt and alex are playing bass in this performance!

[bilwit]

never mind I don't think Alex is playing or on stage at all :(

[jemjenjem]

I always liked this song, and Damon Albarn is my favorite musician of all time. So excited to find this. I do have to admit, though, that Damon looks pretty goofy making those faces.

[deLarge94]

how have i never seen this before i love it

[weezerchick500]

OMG! matt sharp and blur!!! how amazing is this??

[damienrobert]

does anyone have any idea what kind of keyboard Damon is playing?

[jurrobear]

Im sure its moog.

-juliO!

[Maikurohon]

Looks like a Moog Source.

[Pikysan]

OMG never would have thought of finding these on Youtube. Love these song and Blur <333

[coreygreenlol]

who's that blur guy?

[citrusvideo]

damon albar of the band blur.

but he s more famous as the mastermind behind the gorillaz

[Jaxtheaxe]

he is more fasmous for blur than gorillaz...

[smellslikefries]

"P" refers to Matt's and Rentals' and Weezer's manager.

[jurrobear]

actually the song is about Paulina Porizkova, who is Ric Ocasek wife.

the whole line about looking his palm over is in reference to her consulting a psychic tv channel.

[airsunlight]

o.o I thought one of the girls in the music video was damon albarn..wasn´t he?!!!XD.someone tell me!!!!!!XDXD

[Brendonurieissohot]

I love this performance ! Damon makes the funniest expressions

[jojo808]

it's so funny to hear what people think this song is about. Matt must have started like 20 fake rumors on the non-meaning of the song. Although on 120mins he was like it's on the whole Psychic friends .A guy in his 20's or 30's in desperation for love tellin it like it is . Me projecting?=D

[fjkseattle]

jojo

I believe that is the beauty of a well writen song, the fan can project his/her own meaning that works for them.

[taylor2d2]

brilliant

[paradeofflesh]

this song has a complete feel off of Modern Life Is RUbbish or the Great Escape by blur.

good stuff, thanks for the upload.

[fjkseattle]

Matt where r u?

your number one fan!

[jojo808]

i heard he hangs with Tegan and Sara a bit . =D

[fjkseattle]

jojo808

are Tegann and Sara the retro chicks in the "P" video? They are kinda hot in a bohemian way....

[jojo808]

nope. thats Cherie Westrich (tops my mouth fetish list)& Petra Haden. i advise you to check into Tegan & Sara dude,they're very likable.

[ProdigyLover83]

The song sounds tailor-made for Damon's vocals.

[kirbysman]

Well its good to see matt again...would be better with rivers though.

[yucoever]

je me souviens de cette émission quand j'étais à la fin du collège ... j'aime toujours autant !

[SocietyPuffin]

They should record an album together, it would be my dream come true, them and rivers, that would be a masterpiece

[discoe2monster]

That is a really great album. One of favs.

[semisieso]

What the hell "Friends of p" means?

[SocietyPuffin]

Its about Ric Ocasek's wife apparently

[chrisliammm]

i like better the live version..

[detin12]

YES! this is an awesome video, 2 of the greatest minds of music combined!!!

[nateisneato]

Matt's Falsetto is better then Damon's but Damon's accent is pretty cool. Blur and The Rentals are an awesome match!

[semisieso]

Damon's falsetto is better

[krristyn]

this video is my dream come true

[zenjardin]

Yes. He was weezer's bassist and then split because of musical differences -- and God bless him for it. His solo album is also brilliant.

[thewondering1]

agreed on the last part :)

[sarahchrissy]

D looks crazed

[PearlJammer]

Matt Sharp.... wasn't he Weezer's bassist???

[thewondering1]

yep

[solidunit]

awesome vid! damon from blur doing vocals AND playing the keyboard riff!

[Ramon12]

where's alex?!

[elevatorelevator]

i imagine he's not needed for the performance since matt plays bass
