"There will definitely be another Blur album".

Damon Albarn must not sleep. The Blur/Gorillaz frontman is always juggling a few dozen projects, and from the looks of things, we'll hear more from a couple of them soon. First up, there's the debut album from Rocketjuice And The Moon, the appallingly-named supergroup that features Albarn, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, and the great Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen. NME reports that the band's self-titled debut album is due 3/26, and that it'll feature collaborations with Erykah Badu, the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and a few African artists. But even more exciting is [...]

"We haven't planned the rehearsals yet, but there will definitely be another Blur album." - It's been a good year or so since our last vague, detail-less update on the state of Blur's long-awaited follow-up to 20032s Think Tank . So with the band set to perform live for the first time in three years at the Brit Awards later this month, guitarist Graham Coxon dished out the above quote in a new interview with The Daily Mail .

Veronica Falls is a young band. There is the group taking pictures of itself! Oh you do not want to miss those first steps. All those loose meandering's on a guitar, bright harmony's recorded! The world could take notice one day,these paintings will be priceless! These infant moments of fledgling bands feel incredible to all the members involved. Pity that I am not the bass player! If I was a contributor, maybe I could share in the hidden magic! I have no such luck, it seems neither do you. Harsh words I know. I do have some very [...]

Hij zal het niet snel zelf zeggen, maar Gregg Alexander van de New Radicals is geïnspireerd door Blur. En hoe ik dat weet? Ze hebben hetzelfde shirt aan. In april 1997 kwam de britpopband Blur met hun grootste hit tot nu toe, Song 2. Gebaseerd op een simpele riff met een paar distorted refreins (een [...]

Le puse un corazoncito al 2 de abril en iCal. El 2 de abril Graham Coxon lanzará A+E , su primer disco en 3 años (quién diría que The Spinning Top iba a verse "viejo" tan rápido), y no voy a tratar de ser objetiva ni discreta, porque ni me va a salir. Es probable que muchos piensen que con un nuevo disco solista del guitarrista de Blur, la reunión de la banda se vea más [...]

Tweet With a fresh, exhuberant sound, Niteflights are guaranteed to get your 2012 kicking right into gear. My first exposure to them was when they shared their brilliant cover of John Cale 's "Paris 1919 ", and was instantly pleased with what I heard. For me, the true test of a great cover is when someone can take a song and make it their own, which Niteflights are able to do while still staying true to the original. [...]

Las noticias sobre la supuesta reunión de Blur escasean, pero de vez en cuando, suelen aparecer. De acuerdo con algunas declaraciones hechas por Twitter , la banda capitaneada por Damon Albarn estaría en el estudio grabando un nuevo disco junto a William Orbit . Orbit fue el encargado de la producción del último trabajo de estudio de la banda completa, 13 , antes de la partida del guitarrista Graham Coxon . Parece [...]

Mentre raccogliamo informazioni sul nuovo album dei Blur (le ultime ci svelavano che Damon Albarn e soci si erano visti per suonare in studio durante le vacanze natalizie ), arriva un annuncio inatteso. Il prossimo 2 aprile uscirà "A+E", ottavo capitolo della discografia di Graham Coxon : un concept album di dieci brani sulla vita di un uomo. Oltre a mostrarvi il video-trailer del disco all'inizio del post, vi raccontiamo anche che per il tour promozionale nel Regno Unito, Coxon ha deciso di dare spazio ai nuovi musicisti: per ogni data infatti, [...]

One of the poorer decisions the Brits organisers have made in recent years - besides 'let's do it next year, yes? With the same shortlists?' - was locking in James Corden as host for years and years and years. To be fair, they are sticking with the pledge and bringing him back to die painfully on ITV for a couple of hours. Which is fascinating, given how the rest of the music industry will dump contracts at the first sniff of underperformance. It's good news for Gordon, though, who - you'll recall - clutched his sides [...]
