Blur?

[neil999]

that new song would work nicely on the pyramid, has a nice epic feel to it..

[Big Vern]

it's a tune for sure, I cannot stop playing it

Heard any further from your brothers mate about Roses?

[fullfathom5]

Would love it to be Blur, really looking forward to the new album.

[WS_Jack_III]

There are too many of us is okay, Go Out has grown on me a lot though, wasn't very keen on it at first but quite like it now.

[Wooderson]

They sound utterly incredible. That "Message Centre" video on the NME is insanely good.

[C.F.W]

Found a recording of the full show from last night whilst having a nose at the Blur forums.

The guy says he'll leave it up 'til the stream on Wednesday. Not sure if it has been posted elsewhere but can't see it anywhere. Sounds brilliant, would love it to be them.

Imagine being one of only 200 people at a Blur gig where they're debuting their first new album in 12 years and watching the whole thing through a phone screen. Breaking the law and ruining a moment that would otherwise most likely stay with you forever, in one fell swoop.

Or worse still, talking the whole way through like the women in the recording.

After watching the Trouble In The Message Centre video and listening to the new stuff I think blur really should headline.

I loved 2009 and blur are always going to be my favorite band at first I was thinking do I want the memory of such a great gig tainted.

Now I have thought about it if you add the new songs and go through a back catalogue and play songs like Trouble In The Message Centre we could have a totally different experience but just as good as 2009. Loads of songs that have not been played originally on that tour like sterotypes and charmless man

Maybe its just old age, but Stereotypes and Charmless man are the nadir of the Blur I love. Now "Coping" on the other hand...

Definitely not Blur, Dave Rowntree just confirmed they're not doing it on XFM.

[davidsams1989]

Beat me to it

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Which is a shame, because they posted another new song to their Facebook page earlier and it's another good'un

[Wooderson]

It's another FANTASTIC song.

That's dashed what little hopes I had, shame

Think they are nailed on for IOW now?

Ahhh F***.

[brettredmayne]

Gutted

[Icewulf]

That hurts. Back to the drawing board.

[CHRLY]

Ahh that's a shame - new song is a cracker

[GlastoSimon]

NOOOOOO

Only two acts remaining that I'd like to see doing it then, and both very unlikely...

[Wakey321]

Damn!

Gutted its not them, im loving the tracks ive heard from the album so far

[brettredmayne]

Hoping for a few dates around the UK now

[FloorFiller]

new song's my favourite so far. really great

as for them not being at Glastonbury, yeah, i saw that coming. it would've been great but as has been stated a lot, it would've paled in comparison to their 2009 performance no matter what they did. would be surprised if they're not the third IOW headliner
