Fritter about on the margins of success. Get signed. Release a hit single. Release a hit album. Tour bigger venues. Release a small run of future classic singles with killer b-sides. Release further singles and albums with ever-decreasing returns. Implode around 5th/6th LP when key member leaves or dies. A year or so down the line, entice same member back (unless dead) for one last hurrah and pay-day, but by then the magic is gone. All this is of course played out to a backdrop of drink and drugs and guns and girls and boys and Bentleys and bad and/or [...]

Blur 21 (Out on 07/31/12) Win The Entire Blur Catalog on CD & Vinyl! Hey folks, it's been 21 years since the release of Leisure , and due to popular demand, Britpop legends Blur have unleashed a brand new high fidelity, gorgeously packaged, and massively comprehensive (18CD/3DVD) box set, entitled Blur 21 . All seven studio albums are collected with over 5 1/2 hours of unreleased material including 65 previously [...]
On July 31st, Blur dropped the 21 Box Set and the re-release/reissue of their seven albums. Blur being my favorite British band, still can't believe they have been together for 21 years. The band will play a big show at Hyde Park and at the Summer Olympics closing ceremony. So in turn I would like to reveal my 21 favorite Blur tracks of all time. Think of this as a "Greatest Hits mixtape". This list includes b-sides and remixes. Those wanting to know if this certain famous song of theirs will make [...]
For the last couple of weeks Blur have been teasing us with talk of some new music, the first from the band since 20102s Record Store Day track "Fool's Day" . Today they performed both new tracks "Under The Westway" (which has been performed live a couple of times this year) and "The Puritan" live on a rooftop in London and streamed the performance live on t'interwebs, but now you can hear both tracks in studio quality below. "Under [...]
Coastal Cities a quintet from High Wycombe in England are made up of Declan Cullen (Guitar / Vocals), Lewis Slade (Drums), Dan Hardy (Bass), William Clark (Synths) and Sean Semmens (Guitar) and are brand new out of the starting blocks. Coastal Cities Coastal Cities have set out their stall with some evident ambitions, as I was contacted by that good old Theo-PR and they already have a debut EP Think Tank for sale, which [...]
Coastal Cities are a brand new indie-dance band comprised of five 17 year olds (yes, you heard right, 17!) from High Wycombe, west of London. Declan Cullen (guitar/vocals), Sean Semmens (guitar) and Lewis Slade (drums) met in the Summer of 2009 and after recruiting Dan Hardy (bass) and William Clark (keys/synths) Coastal Cities was formed. Inspired by The Smiths, Joy Division and other 802s New Wave bands, but also by dance music, Coastal Cities set out to make music people like them could relate to but also that they could dance to. Soon after the band posted [...]
We simply cannot consider what Foals , or Bloc Party , or The Libertines would have sounded like if they weren't from the UK. It's just impossible to imagine isn't it? Totally impossible. There's something especially British about them. You can say the same thing for lots of bands through history. The Smiths simply couldn't come from San Francisco could they? What about The Specials , or Metronomy , or Roni Size , or Radiohead ? No chance, they're all very, very British. However, they also sound very different from [...]

It starts off with more soulful and mid-tempo beats and ending with some electro-funky jams. Some of these have been featured here on the blog, but there definitely some new gems in here. Feel free to download it for you iPod, might make that Dolphin Expressway a little bit more tolerable.

Well, since I am doing this a second time, I guess it's somewhat of a habit now. Right? Got a few interesting ones for you guys today. First off, we got a little something from DJ Fergie Ferg , whom we've featured quite a few times on RTV. If you haven't heard of him before, I highly suggest his dope Devotchka mash .
