New Blur Tune

I like it. The version of He Thought of Cars they did was gorgeous.

And they are closing the Olympics. New record on its way

Playing 5 songs at the Brits tonight too, guesses..

Girls & Boys
Parklife
Tender
For Tomorrow
The Universal

I'd love them to perform Fool's Day tbh

Don't think they'll do Tender tonight, don't think they've got long enough unless they played a much shortened version

Girls & Boys
Parklife
Beetlebum
Song 2
The Universal

Would love them to do some MLIR tracks though. Fucking made up about this gig they're doing like, one of the biggest regrets I've ever had not going to Hyde Park to see them in 2009, looked amazing so chuffed I've now got the chance. Can't actually believe it, the two bands who I most wanted to see who I still hadn't both now playing this year, with the Roses being the other one. New Order and The Specials supporting as well.

All over that Pulp TCT gig as well if I can get tickets.

They only have 11 minutes so most the songs will be shortened versions.

That is a good lineup for the Blur gig. Having seen them there a few years ago I don't think I wanna go again with it being about 60 quid, a sunday & will be just another greatest hits set no doubt. I bet it's not as loud as it was even in 2009 either.

So bored of gigs right now. If it's more than a few thousand people or more than 20 quid I ain't interested anymore. I'm even having second thoughts about seeing the Roses now.

fuck, I sound like Sully. I'LL BE AT ACTION BRONSON

You should come WU LYF in March mate.

Proper gig with proper people

Tender's in, but probably shortened

From the Brit Awards twitter :
"Exclusive! Outstanding Contribution winners @blurofficial will perform "Tender" (with 32-piece choir) on ITV2 at 10pm tonight"

Wu Lyf is near the end of March ain't it? I entertained the idea of coming over early for ACTION BRONSON but I can't afford it do ditched the plans.

Yeah mate, Wu Lyf on Thursday and Action Bronson on Sunday. Should be a big few days

Only major Blur gig of the year so likely to do a warm up gig or two and thats it, also they are going to play new songs and will release some as well although probably not as a full album.

Tickets booked for Hyde park! Not seen any of them three bands before so well up for it.

Pretty obvious choices yesterday and not a particularly good performance. But they are probably the most representative songs and good examples of their aim for diversity, each song could easily be attached to a different genre yet all of them are typical Blur. And seeing them together is just great

tickets also booked. My GF has been a massive blur fan since her early teens, but has never seen them. Oh boy, am I in the good books.

Yeah, for me they didn't need to do all of the first 3 songs, they could have gotten away with one of them, because even though they are different as such, they essentially do the same thing, and Girls & Boys and Parklife didn't really work with a non partisan audience made up of a crowd full of people who enjoy Coldplay and buy an Adele album every 6 seconds.

They cut the coverage at Parklife over here and you had to change to a different channel to watch Tender & This is a Low which worked far batter in that setting than trying to go all 'oi oi party central' with a bunch of kids who would never in a million years understand what's being played in front of them, they should have played Beetlebum & The Universal because they would have worked better.

Or in an ideal world just done Battle and finished with a 15 minute version of Essex Dogs.

Have you got the BT Code for the pre-sale link JP? If so how many tickets did you buy, cos im looking for a code and need to buy 2 tickets so if you or anyones got one and haven't bought anymore than 4 tickets then I'd love you forever if you could pm me it. The allowance is 6 tickets per code I believe

sorry alan, it was a mate from works code i used and i havent a clue what it was now as i literally used it then through the paper id written it down on in the bin.

AT LEAST IM GOING THOUGH HEY
