Blur launch radio station

Blur will launch their own radio station this month to accompany the imminent best of, whose cover is exclusively revealed (left).

blur-radio.com will be launched on October 12, featuring a cornucopia of Blur material, both visual and audio, and a documentary tracing their career.

Both Graham Coxon and Alex James have also contributed to 'The Weird and Wonderful World of Blur', which will see both members picking b-sides, rarities, collaborations, solo tracks, remixes, and previously unheard demo's.

By October 28th, a full 12 hour schedule of shows will be available online, including archives of live shows, including last December's 'Singles Night', a 1994 gig at the Alexandra Palace and the band's only show of 2000, as part of Scott Walker's Meltdown.

The album cover art for the best of, out on October 30th, was painted by Julian Opie, an English artist, who is currently exhibiting at both Tate Modern and Tate Britain, with the exhibitions 'Between Cinema And A Hard Place' and 'New British Art 2000: Intelligence' respectively

Further details will of the radio project will be unveiled following Blur's appearance on Top Of The Pops Plus on October 8th, between 12 - 1pm.
