Flume feat. Damon Albarn - Palaces

Electronica, so be warned for those of you who don't like this kind of music.

Tender has joined Song 2, Parklife and Country House as Platinum selling singles in the UK.

In other news Blur's Youtube channel has hit landmarks

Since Blur deleted their videos from the Parlophone Youtube...

Tender and NDLTR are fabulous. I recall absolutely loving the power drill section of Bugman. My tastes were developing along with Blur. Nice feeling. They dragged their feet about making the lovely Coffee & TV a single....

Hiya!
I've written a book about my adventures running a Glasgow club night between 2003 to 2012. It includes details of Stephen Street's Guest DJ set in September 2005 and Alex James' Guest DJ set in November 2006.
It's...

Brother-in-law just sent me a pic of this from Northamptonshire. He described it as a painted up turd , but then he does restore 1950's Dodges so his standards are quite high! Was this a prop, or used when they had that...

I remember some years ago having found a transcription of the lyrics to Theme From Retro . I can't remember whether it was on this forum or elsewhere, but my memory is that the lyrics looked really convincing with...

After years of not doing anything for RSD, they will be releasing Bustin & Dronin.

I shouldn't complain, but I'm disappointed. There are so many other options they could've gone for. I don't care about a remix album....

In an interview with the LA Times (posted Sunday night) Damon stated that Taylor Swift doesn't write her own songs because she's a co-writer. Swift blasted him on Twitter.

Just wondered if anyone here had picked up any of the blind boxes and what they got? Many duplicates? Are rare colour versions?

Maybe it would be fun to find the moments in Blur songs that couldn't have existed without the influence of David Bowie? Just throwin' that out there. Honestly, there are likely way too many to even really attempt to...

I’ve always been a fan of Graham’s guitar tone and have tried for a while to work out what his pedalboards consisted during the late 90s. However, I’ve never been able to work out what the black box is in the bottom...

Huge part of blur's early years. Read a lot about him and seems like he was a really nice guy. Thoughts with friends and family. RIP

I've posted this in the 'Nearer the Fountain' thread but I'll repeat it here as I think it deserves a wider audience!

I went to the Troxy gig last night. Er - interesting show. I was expecting the Fountain stuff plus...

Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) lived next door to me when I was a tot, he gave me this tape which I have kept in a box for 27 years. I have never listened to it, mainly from the fear it would get chewed by a cassette...

Hi guys,

I'll probably get disowned for sharing this but i've been told today by a very reliable source
the boys have finished writing a new album and are looking at next summer to release.

They are also planning 3...

I know this been already shared oll over Blur fans social media´s platforms, but if you haven´t listen to it so far, give it a go. Graham is in notably good mood (nice to hear that) as he discuss Blur as well as his...

I straight up couldn't watch his Royal Morning Blue performance:

The twitching was just so weird, but the thing that stopped me second guessing is how amazing he's been at playing instruments and singing while...

I noticed no one has set this one up.

This is the gig I'm going to. I'd love to meet anyone else on the forum going? Could meet before.. after...
Anyway.
Also you know that plastic icecream cone I have?

Hi All, i just woke up to some very good news about Graham:

An all-new, high concept vision of the future, devised by Graham Coxon, and featuring 15 of the best graphic artists. Published by @Z2comics, Superstate is...

Graham in the studio with Duran Duran... and Lykke Li and Mark Ronson.

This is rather friendly match of albums rather than battle :-). But anyway:

Is there a more committed advocate of the Waltz than Damon Albarn? Lou Reed was pretty fond of them too, I guess.

Anyone want to help me make a comprehensive list of Albarn 3/4 or 6/8 compositions? A few off the top of...

If ever a Blur-related subject deserved its own thread!

What do we think?
I've always thought mullet = village idiot.
I'm not sure Damon's changed my mind...

meanwhile snippet!

new songs this friday ?

EDIT: I split this into a new thread. -Veikko

I just did a song for Gorillaz with Bad Bunny , we are still thinking about when it can come out, I imagine it will be sometime next year. I would also like to work with other people from the continent that I admire,...

I just came across this episode of Phil Taggart's podcast published one month ago featuring Graham. (It's available on Spotify, and probably other platforms.)

One hour long interview, with some interesting moments....

Alex looks to have out on a bit (a lot) of weight in lockdown. I was vaguely aware he ran a festival with Jamie Oliver but I didn't know it had become an annual thing. It really doesn't look like my cup of tea at all,...
