I like the idea of doing something with Sticks and Stones, for me the treatment of it so far just doesn't seem right. I'm not saying give it a full single launch with video etc, although that would be pretty cool. Maybe one for Record Store Day? Feel like there's still plenty of promo left for the a...

European tour in 2024??

It does feel like that's something they should do for the new album. I'm hoping anyway

Activity on here seems to have dropped off a cliff this last week or so. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't use Spotify, but I can't imagine a bonus track ever getting THAT much traction beyond the converted. Does sound like it's a bit buried at present though. The Rabbi and The Swan have over 400k plays. I ...

bit quiet in here init? Noticed that Sticks and Stones has only 25k plays on Spotify, bit difficult to find the track as there's two versions of the deluxe version on there. Whereas the other less played tracks on the album are around the 500k mark. Feel like they messed it up a little bit, hopefull...

Wasn't On Your Own used in the beach film? I had friends in class that liked the song but didn't like blur. The Crouch End Broadway mix (by William Orbit) was on the soundtrack CD. For my money, William Orbit's mixes of On Your Own are the worst things Blur have put their name to. he has a habit of...

Shock news, folks. TBOD is climbing back up!
It's crept back up in the mid-week chart at least (to 39).
This may not be a sales increase (as all the others might simply have sold less) but exciting news nonetheless!

wow that's pretty cool! great news

Those piano keys in Sticks and Stones have to be Damon surely? feel like it's pretty obvious but might be wrong

Seem to have two conversations going on here...but I believe modern life is rubbish had so many good bsides because they are the ditched tracks from the 92 album that never came out?

My heart, it quickened (it quickened)
I could not tear myself away (myself away)
Became addiction (addiction)
If you see darkness, look away (look away)

same as munch

Yeah I get your point but I thought the lyrics were pretty strong on Think Tank. I guess it's how much work he puts in after the original sketch of the demo track which probably separates the babbling. He recently said in an interview that he's good at starting but not finishing (something a lot of ...

ah is that what that is? I didn't put the two together

Is this the first tour when Dave has done backing vocals? Don't seem to recall him doing them before. think he did some with think tank? I may be wrong. I know he did some for the album they all sang on we've got a file on you (expect graham obvs) and there was a sweet song rap that unfortunately h...

Would be awesome to see them do an arena tour / summer festival tour doing mostly the album next year. Am I asking for too much?
