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...

Watched BBC tv's "How Not To Live Your Life" earlier today and was amused at this conversation between a few 20-year old blokes and one 29 yr old geeza. The convo is accompanied by confused looks and goes something like, "LP?... CD?... Wot, you legally downloaded it?..." LOL, watch: Video on Bebo if ya don't see the player...That clip is from Season 1 Episode 4, which also has some funny s...

Blur frontman and Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn is now "making public what's been going on a little bit privately." Blur has officially let bygones be bygones and will reunite with a July 3rd concert in London's Hyde Park. The 90s Britpop band has not recorded an album since 2003's Think Tank, most memorable for the departure of lead guitarist Graham Coxon, who left during the making of the...

I just saw this vid on some other guys Mog who didn't even bother to watch this all the way through to the end! If you don't watch this entirely, you miss the whole point! It's f'n hysterical! And they use such a super cool song by one of my fav bands Blur called "Song 2". The guy that posted this has the song listed as Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Need I say more?Anyway, I thought it a c...

You know how Britpop act Blur called it quits, and how both Damon Albon's and Graham Coxon's ego were preventing any future reunion? Well, according to the British paper The Sun Blur are heading back to the studio to record what might be one last final Blur album.Since the band's split Albon has found success with Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad and The Queen, and after finishing up his tour wit...

Today is Blur Friday, in more ways then one. I just picked up their new compilation Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur and it is extremely good. I never was a fan of their Best of collection. I love the classics but what was up with the "new" song Music is my Radar? It turns out that Black Book was supposed to be the new song. But I read that at the last minute the band (Damon?) changed (his?)...

Parklife is like a dream date -- it's smart, it's funny, it rocks, it's tender, it gets your blood pumping, and when it's over, you can't wait to do it all over again.In honor of the 15th anniversary of its release, Blur's Parklife has gotten a lot of extra play on my iPod lately. 1990s Britpop comprises an alarming percentage of my life's all-time hit parade, with the bulk of it emerging from ...

Graham Coxon was uncontactable, Dave Rowntree had plans for improving the equality of opportunity in Kensington and Chelsea, Damon Albarn was making operas, while Alex James was writing about cheese and flogging his autobiography.Bu...
