I've always wondered why there didn't seem to be as much love for "Northern Whale" -- it's easily one of my favorites. Really bummed to have missed it live, but glad to hear it now!

I made it to both of the NYC shows last week and wanted to take a minute to express my deep and sincere appreciation for what turned out to be far and away the best 26ish hours, musically, I've had in a long while. I had never seen Graham perform outside of Blur before, certainly not in such an inti...

I'm sure some of you have heard already, but Graham treated us to a charming version of "Red Necks" last night here in NYC (video: https://youtu.be/7onpaUj-2J4 ). Ever the slyly knowing sort, he afterwards commented something to the effect of, "Some of those lyrics aren't quite as acceptable nowaday...

Of course!

Sean Nelson, singer-songwriter of the sadly defunct Harvey Danger (ahem, "I'm not sick but I'm not well..."), put out an excellent solo LP in 2013 called Make Good Choices: http://reallyrecords.bigcartel.com/product/sean-nelson-make-good-choices It's truly a wonderful album, and I can't recommend it...

It's been a great year for Blur-related music journalism. Shame the band's official social media team isn't more up on this sort of thing.

I found the film rather boring, overall, and left the theater wondering why it was even made in the first place. We've already heard the basic story of The Magic Whip's genesis ad nauseam, and "New World Towers" adds very little to it. (The only mildly interesting factoid I learned is that "I Broadc...

I caught the NYC showing a few days ago. Very curious to hear what other people think.

Observations / impressions / reflections, a couple of weeks later: - The two Blur songs Madison Square Garden had playing over the PA system in the merch / ticket window area before and after the show: Song 2 and Crazy Beat. Don't shoot the messenger! - I am one of those people that gets inexplicabl...

Whoops, just now seeing this! I got them on StubHub, didn't have any issues. I hope you made it in!

Has anyone managed to decipher Graham's chorus in Pyongyang? something like this.. ..years ago, when we used to be rivals .... ????? ..for our own survival could be way off though :lol: :lol: :lol: oh no! so much drama "years ago when we used to be rivals our youths minds and arms were bound for ou...

Still available, for what it's worth.

Apologies for the double posting, but this seems to be the place that most people might see this: Selling 2 tickets for Madison Square Garden (NYC, 10/23) I was off the grid when tickets for this show went on sale, so I enlisted a friend to get me a couple of tickets. Unfortunately, I wasn't specifi...
