An Invitation from Blur

5 Days Away...

Less Than a Week to Go!

Blur will perform their new tracks next Monday 2 July and then we'll all be able to download them for our listening pleasure.

While I still think the Twitter aspect of it is gimmicky and very "2012," I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thrilled!

The Big Announcement - Be There July 2!

This morning, Blur finally revealed what is going on with their new songs:

There will be a live global webcast on July 2 where Blur will play the two new songs (with an interview in between). The double A-side will then be available for download, with a limited edition 7" version of it available for purchase online August 6.

This summer keeps getting better and better!

I Was Wrong: Another Teaser Photo for "The Puritan"

From today:

My guess is that we'll get another one tomorrow for "Under the Westway" leading up to the announcement on the following Monday.

One Last Photo - Under the Westway

Published just a little bit ago by official Blur. See you here Monday after it's all announced!

Coming Soon: Pre-Order for Black Book 2

Stay tuned for more details in the next couple of weeks...

Under The Westway - July 2

In keeping with what they did yesterday, this was posted by the official Blur Twitter account this morning:

My guess: these are two songs for a single to be released July 2.

And there's a countdown ticker to July 2 on the official site (www.blur.co.uk)

An exciting summer ahead!

The Puritan - July 2

This morning, the official Blur Facebook and Twitter pages have been teasing with "#thepuritan 2nd July 7:45 pm BST" and this photo:

Reckon we're getting a single release? That's my guess...what's yours?

This is going to be an exciting summer!

Another New Blur Song - "The Puritan"

Last night Damon performed at the POEM 2012 event in London, and debuted another new Blur song (on acoustic guitar) along with a coupleo of song's from his "Dr. Dee" album.  The title is purported to be "The Puritan."

It's Windy There...

Normally I'm against graffiti but this is different. Was this ugly or offensive? No. To fans or casual listeners, it was meaningful. And to everyone else, it was really inoffensive. Read this and check out the video by the crew who did the restoration a couple of months ago (see post below) and decide for yourself.

Keep up the fight!

It Could Be You!

If anyone has stuff for the book, I'm caught up enough that it'd be a good time to send it. Live tapes, ticket stub scans, etc. Feel free to email or PM me if you'd like to help out and as always, thanks in advance!

I'm also working on trying to get a proper publisher for the book...it'll be coming out either way, so stay tuned for updates!
