The best music videos are told from the perspective of a milk carton.

It's true. Just watch Blur's "Coffee and T.V." and you'll understand. Some of you might remember the 90's band Blur (hugely famous in the U.K. for popularizing the genre of "Brit-pop" and the "Brit-pop wars" it started with rival band Oasis), but for those of you who don't I'll key you in: they're awesome.

Though they were never very popular in the U.S., they were beloved in the U.K. in the early-mid nineties. They did quite well for many years, but in 2002 the band suffered when guitarist Graham Coxon left and they eventually fell off the charts. Damon Albarn held on for a while, but he eventually dropped the band to pursue other endeavors, one of them being the formation of band the "Gorillaz" (sound familiar?)

The band did make strides recently by touring around the U.S., which was quite successful, too. I wouldn't hold my breath for them to reunite any time soon, but at least we have their earlier albums to get us through the pain, right?


The video is just absolutely adorable. How could you not love a milk carton with eyes that big! He's just too cute (and healthy!)

Anyway, here's the video for you to enjoy! And while you're at it, check the rest Blur's singles out!

Just give me coffee and T.V., pleeaaseee...
