Re: Blur - The Magic Whip
Almost six years on I still think it's good, but not a briliant record. It's good because there are no bad songs (which I think every other Blur record has), but on the other hand I still miss a couple of classics (which I think every other Blur record has)... Favourites: New World Towers, Mirrorbal...

Re: TGTBTQ: Merrie Land Album Thread
Paul Simonon's bass guitar on the title track is only one of many hundred reasons why this record is so briliant.
Masterpiece.

Re: Is Think Tank an underrated masterpiece?
No, its crap. Except Ambulance, Out Of Time & Battery. The rest is dull and nowhere near the quality of the rest of the records. And dont get me started on track number 3, which I wont even mention by name.

Re: Blur Video Thread
Have we noticed this before? 1:37 into this video from Morning Becomes Eclectic KCRW. Recorded March 19th 1997 in LA.

They had a gig at The Palace in LA later that day - I reckon they found Dave by then?

Re: Dave interview (The MiddleEast online)
I think I read somewhere that "Dying isn't easy" is one of Smoggy's favourite songs. Send Smoggy to the race track and rehearse the tune in souncheck!

Re: The Magic Whip Tour
"our head of security , Smoggy, who has been with us for 25 years is a huge F1 fan and one of the reasons we decided to end the tour in Abu Dhabi was that he is having a big birthday this year and we couldn’t think of a better present or a more fun way to celebrate" Sounds like the main reason for t...
