De acuerdo con BlurBalls , Albarn anunció [...]
No podemos recibir este 2013 si es que no despedimos 2012 como se lo merece. Los últimos doce meses fueron excelentes para la música de varios estilos, con buenos regresos y sorprendentes apariciones. Para tratar de que no se nos escape nada, hemos organizado cuatro listas con distintas categorías: discos, remixes, canciones bailables y no bailables, que reflejan el consenso entre quienes hacemos esta página. Hoy vamos a empezar con las canciones no bailables. Quizás la categoría más amplia y más difícil, ya que muchos de nuestros discos favoritos tenían al menos tres o cuatro cada uno. Eso [...]
Creo que era el otro día, a propósito de " Laura " de Bat For Lashes, que hablaba de eso que se ha venido a llamar torch songs : Esas canciones de súplica (No te vayas, por favor sigamos juntos, mira en qué me he convertido desde que te marchaste, devuélveme el corazón, etc, etc) en las que , pese al lastre dramático, se invita a mantener encendida la llama (de ahí el término) de la esperanza. El caso es que (primera buen noticia) Blur han vuelto, lo han hecho (segunda buena noticia) [...]

Something happened when Damon Albarn broke up with Justine Frischmann way back when. He became depressed and started writing some of his most emotionally introspective music which was a stretch from his usual analysis of English middle-class culture. He then travelled to Africa where he did a lot of mind-altering drugs and met his new partner who he has since had a daughter with. This change transformed Albarn into one of the most prolific songwriters, collaborators and producers of anyone in British music over the last ten years. His work included Gorillaz, The Good, the Bad and the Queen, Rocket [...]

Blur is back with two new tunes... This past week, Blur premiered two new songs, "Under the Westway" and "The Puritan", via a London rooftop performance. You can catch both over at the band's website. They will be officially released as digital singles on 6 August, but you can watch the live performances all you want until then. Blur has also just released a new video of a live studio performance of "Under the Westway".
Yeah, it was earlier this week. And I purchased the song from the middle of a wheat field. And it's absolutely lovely. The flip side is pretty wicked too. I think you can see why Blur is my favorite musical group of my generation.
