Blur: Classic Or Dud

Didn't one of their singles get put on the Radio 2 playlist instead of the Radio 1 playlist, and Damon had a shitfit about it?

I suspect he got his former bandmates together last year to 'Blur-ify' what was essentially a solo album, and now they've made enough money from the tours to sustain their lifestyles, Blur will go on indefinite hiatus again.

Speaking as the biggest Blur fan I know, I thought the last two albums completely sucked.

I have it on good authority that the first reunion in 2009 and the shows in Hyde Park etc were mostly organised to help Dave Rowntree out as he was financially in a bit of a state.

Dave has been selected as a Labour candidate at the next election, not an easily winnable seat but a chance he'll be busy with that quite soon.

I wish him nothing but all the worst luck he can possibly encounter on the campaign trail, hope he gets eaten by a dog!

Looks v unlikely he'll win even in a landslide - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_Sussex_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s

yep, he's wasting his time. 3rd place behind the LibDems even in '97.

he's just so excited by the possibilities of Starmer Labour that it means a lot to him to at least give it go

my spouse said Alex James used to be cute but that now he looks like a guy who poops on the street in the Tenderloin

Electoral Calculus currently has Mid-Sussex as Tories 29.6%, Labour 28.2% and Lib Dems 27.8%. He could win.

I've never listened to either of them in their entirety, but I wasn't interested in any of the bits I heard
