Give Me Coffee and TV

On this day of negative feeling and thinking, amidst an impenetrable lack of sleep (something shared by all freshman,) and a feeling of total lack of any real knowledge...


BLUR HAVE OFFICIALLY REUNITED.

Jubilee indeed, Damon. Thanks for putting your globetrotting aside for five fucking minutes. Graham, thanks for forgetting about trying to be Stephen Malkmus. Alex, thanks for not doing much of anything since the break-up aside writing a book. About your band. And David, I hope you lose that general election because you have some songs to practice.

Now is a great time to reevaluate/familiarize yourself with Blur's catalog. I guess you should start with Parklife. From there it's all you but make sure you give Think Tank a chance.

Thx Damon.

i don't see this as a good thing. they're only going to try to be what they were and that sound is too late at this point. either that or they will be like oasis.

i can see why you would say that about most reunions but not about blur. after 1997 they sort of became this thing no one could really get a grasp of... they were calling it art rock but it was something more, more global maybe, and they were just this shifting thing through their last three or four records. i see them as picking up right where they left off. it's not like damon albarn is at all typical anyway, the dude wrote a chinese opera about a monkey.

right, good call. albarn is a psychopath... that writes some powerful songs about simians. The Good The Bad and The Queen weren't as bad as most reviews made them out to be. I could see Blur being worth a listen. ONLY TIME WILL TELL, JOE. Let's see this thing through.
