Blur’s triumphant headline spot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival has been voted the Best Headline Performance at this year’s UK Festival Awards.The band, who reformed for a series of gigs in the summer, produced one of the best performances of their career when they played a hit-laden, crowd pleasing set on the closing night of [...]
Blur's headlining Glasto performance (which left nary a dry eye in the world) has won them the Best Headline Performance award at this years' UK Festival Awards. More importantly, Damon Albarn has won the award for Festival Fitty. For all of you not familiar with the term "fitty", it's a slangier version of "fit", which in the UK can be used to mean someone is attractive. Ahem, for example: "Da...
Why is Blur's website being updated? Is there more Blurness on the way? I guess, yeah, they had to update it from the Hyde Park/ Midlife frenzy, but it's just getting my hopes up.It's probably going to stay this way for years and years (like that boring grey website they had). Anyway, there are links to buy stuff (take my word for it, you only need one of the Hyde Park live cd's), there's also ...
Blur are leading the nominations for this year's UK Festival Awards.They are the only act to be nominated twice in the Best headliner category, for their shows at Glastonbury and T in the Park. Also, Blur's track Tender is.....more here.
O.K. so who to believe? Graham or Damon?Graham told XFM:"We're talking about doing some more shows abroad... I'm not sure how much I can say about that, but we're definitely talking about it."XFM is interpreting this as shows in Europe...I'm thinking "abroad" could mean the U.S as well!Photo and source [XFM]

Sure, Blur were at times all over the map, but this two-disc set actually accentuates the incongruities of their occasional diversity by odd selection choices, bizarre sequencing, and about as much focus as a shuffle button.
Confusion swirled the campsite as news spread of Blur's delay - were they even going to play? Snow Patrol had their own set put back to reduce the sizeable gap from when the main headliners were supposed to play, and when they actually took to the stage.Thankfully, at 10.15pm - a full 1 hour and 25 minutes after the Britpop legends were supposed to start - Blur took to the stage decked out in b...
And so, after the low-key warm ups and the emotion of Glastonbury and London, so comes the third chapter of the rewritten Blur story. Would they manage to maintain the momentum of the past few weeks or, removed from any real degree of drama or connection, would this be the point where a level of…
Designed for casual listeners often only familiar with their singles, Midlife contains many of the hits whilst revealing what loyal fans will already know; Blur have many songs far removed from their radio-friendly formular.
Wowzers. I mean, I know I hunt down Christmas songs this time of year for my 'Very Indie Christmas' mixtapes... but this song is OUT OF CONTROL! The demand for this thing is wild, and strangely enough, it doesn't seem to have really made the rounds in the blogosphere. Here's info on the release itself... BLUR The Wassailing Song (Ultra rare 1992 UK Food/Parlophone Records one-sided 7" vi...
(do push play!)Never in my life did I think that I'd see Blur live. Last Friday, July 3rd, in London, I was happy to be proven wrong. Met up with my favourite pervert in the world (that's Neill, of course) and walked over to Hyde Park. The mood was good, really good. The sun was shinning, the beer was flowing, and everyone was excited to be there. Support bands were Deerhoof, Florence and the M...
Today I headed into work knowing I would have no little kids to deal with. Today was a conference prep day and I knew I would be busy marking report cards for the upcomming conferences I would be having with the parents of my students. Many teachers I know come in at the last possible second on these days, they look at it as a chance to sleep in because they know they do not have a room full of...
