I was there with my wife and daughter 6 at the time. My daughter was on my shoulders the entire gig waving about a homemade Milky Carton (created by me) with Milky on one side and his female version on the other, bloody good effort it was, looking very close to the real one and had a number of othe...

Love this album, and delighted to have recently picked up a copy on vinyl.

I struggle to choose a favourite between this, Spinning Top, and A&E

The problem I have is that having a good portion of the album available before release takes away from album release day I remember by the time TMW came out we had multiple songs available as well.. I think Go out, Lonesome St, MTH, I Broadcast and one other maybe Ong Ong - all streaming before the ...

Looks amazing. Unfortunately had to drop out of going at short notice which is a real shame, so thanks for sharing the videos!

Anaiah, young fan who visited Damon in his studio two days ago asked him about this Blur reunion for Africa Express. Apparently first they wanted to do only Clover Over Dover, then when Damon invited a local choir to Africa Express show they decided to play also Tender. Song 2 wasn't planned at all...

Never seen this before, cool! Seems almost like a mood chart they made for the songs early on in the sessions. I think 'Chicken & Fries' is probably what became 'Don't be'. Given the song starts with Damon repeatedly saying "chicken and, chicken and, chicken and friieess". Not read the particular i...

Still great to see them being highlighted as one of the bands of the year - again

The Poison Tree would have made a great Blur song. Think of what Graham could have done with it!

I feel exactly the same way about Souk Eye from The Now Now

Surprised no Herculean!

Wow, I'm super curious to see it

So how many people were there in the audience, +/- 20?

I counted about 40, plus a few crew. Sort of 3 rows of us sat cross legged on the floor on some old rugs

At the signing, I decided to play it safe and only ask for Merrie Land and the original GBQ album to be signed - band happy to do so but Tony did a wry smile when handed the original album and said "Well... this is a different thing... but ok" Also managed to get in to the rehearsal yesterday! Sat n...

I've got tickets for tonight too Should be a fun afternoon!

I bought the green vinyl and indeed just bought it a second time so that I can get into the signing at Rough Trade on Thursday (check the GBQ FB page for the link)

Holy shit this album is good.

First play through: Lady Boston, Truce of Twilight and Ribbons are the standout songs for me

I think Gun To The Head is great. Makes me think of Village Green Preservation Society.

Really optimistic about the album from the two songs we’ve had so far
