Track:Wassailing Song
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...

A fancy update to the Blur website, but what does it all mean?
-
Artist:
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 win "Best Headline Performance" at the UK Festival Awards.
-
Artist:
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...

Track:
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?)...
