tauiwi Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This was brilliant news! I have always wanted to see Blur live, but I think there is a slim chance if they do have another world tour that Australia will be included. Here's hoping, anyway.

Dejan Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Blur's gig next summer on July 3 in London's Hyde Park http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1670076655/bctid4319131001 When Blur announced plans to make their 2009 comeback yesterday (December 9) they gave just one interview - to NME. Speaking jointly for the first time in almost a decade, frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon invited NME along to discuss Blur's gig next summer on July 3 in London's Hyde Park, their original split, their reconciliation and their future plans. You can read the interview in full in this week's issue of NME which is on newsstands across the UK now (December 10). In the meantime, here is a free extract from NME's cover story interview with Blur: NME: Have you rehearsed yet? Damon Albarn: "Nope, we haven't rehearsed at all. We've [pointing at Graham] played together a bit, but not all of us yet." Graham Coxon: "It's odd, I suppose, but it's quite a nice feeling that that is around the corner." NME: How did your jam together go? [both look at each other and giggle] Damon: "Er, it went ok [laughs], it has its moments! We were just mucking around, we just went through many different thoughts playing together." Graham: "It wasn't exactly pop music, it was sort of meditation music." NME: When do all four of Blur get together? Damon: "We better do it pretty soon!" Graham: "That's going to be funny, that's just going to make me laugh. It will be funny to see our four faces again in such close proximity in such a positive way because the last time there were four of us together it was really weird." Damon: "Plus we don't even know what we're going to sound like yet!" [laughs] Graham: "It should sound better, I can play the guitar better [laughs] but that might be a bad thing! When we started I could hardly play the fucking guitar." Damon: "Well I certainly couldn't sing. We couldn't do anything hardly when we started." Graham: "We know we can do our jobs now, but don't want to [be] automatons. In order to give anyone else something out of what we do we have to get something out of it too, you know we have to be nourished. As long as we feel that is going to happen, yeah!"

HorrificAttack Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm trying to get into Blur, Parklife just makes me want to vomit with how cheesy and horrible it is, I've been assured they do have some kind of depth to them though Gorillaz are still the best thing Damon has done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I loved the Good the Bad and the Queen. Still haven't really listened to Blur much. I'll have to at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenG Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Cheesy and horrible? I dunno why but Parklife took a long time to grow on me. Unlike the other stuff. It's intelligent pop music, my advice is to listen to Graham the guitarist till you get used to Damon's cockney lunacy. Parklife's a great album once it grows on you and you realise its supposed to be cheesy. Till then keep focus on the genuis that is End of a centuary, Bad Head, This is a low (the more emotional, wind swept ones) we are on a coldplay forum after all.

HorrificAttack Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow I completely agree with Mark here. I jsut couldn't get past the cheesiness of Parklife, my example on another forum was drunken idiots walking along going "AAAAAAAALLL THE PEOPLE" I do like a few of their songs though (Coffee & TV, Bettlebum + Song 2) How is it supposed to be cheesy and in fact have depth? Unless the album is one big bundle of irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
