Blur?

[neil999]

ALRIGHT...my cut selection may have been a bit hasty...

[yaniv297]

"Thought I was a Spaceman" is pretty brilliant live. Should be considered IMO. Even though it might be a bit too overlong/chill for Glasto, coupled with a big hit it could work.

[suzie sue]

Advert, the bit where graham sings

[Badlands]

Bang!!!

[broccoli]

I've been listening to The Magic Whip every day on the way to work and i absolutely love it but i'm far too scared to add it to the Glastonbury playlist incase theres a day that I have to take it off

I've been thinking that Ghost Ship would make a good opener.

best track on the album!

have had the album on a few times, a very good album, although, im not sure how many of the tracks are festival headline material

[HGavin]

Day Upon Day was the video link I posted earlier btw. Brilliant song. Why was it never given a studio release?

[Levitz]

Well, Dave has given an interview to a fansite following the release of Magic Whip and said they aren't headlining.....

'The final headliner for Glastonbury now won’t be announced until June. Can you shed any light on whether it will be Blur or not? It’s not us. They book the headliners before Christmas, and we didn’t announce our album until February.'

That's not true though, they booked last month. I smell a smokescreen.

[Mardy]

so, on a further few listens, this sounds more and more like a direct descendant/follow up to Blur 'Blur'. A similar mix of shouty and melancholia. 'Go out' is the new Song 2 and Terracotta Heart is Death of Party. In summary, it's way better than anybody had any reason to hope for, I think. I'm enjoying it a lot.

You reckon? 'It's not us' is pretty clear and definite

He seems a pretty straight shooter. Would have expected some kind of evasive comment to get out of this q if they were playing.

[russycarps]

Yep. I think we can safely say it wont be blur.

This more desperation than anything. Desperation not to have to go to Hyde Park. After repeated listens to TMW I can't not see it this summer.

[tevaburger]

Best of luck mate.You won't regret it.

no luck on the Brooklyn gig on Friday. it was a minute in and it said it was sold out. though i'm reading on forums that some suddently got through 15 mins later with some extras. thinking of wandering by the site if i can sneak off - 5pm doors, tickets not being emailed out until 3pm, 545pm opener on - and try my luck.

it's not like there's a Hyde Park gig to sneak off to for locals here, so as you can imagine, demand quite high for a 600-person venue. They easily could/should do a Madison Square Garden gig. surely they will...

Coachella 2013

yep, forgot about that. but first gig in NYC since 2000 with full original band

and while I'm at it...to those suggesting they drop "Tracy Jacks" from the 09 Glasto set. how could you??

I'm going to New York in September and have always wanted to see a gig at Maddision Square Garden. A Blur show would be beyond perfect.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

'Go out' is the new Song 2

Harsh!!

[stuartbert two hats]

I just want to say that at the moment I think Ong Ong might be the best thing they've ever done. Really loving it.

I've listened to it to & from work every day this week and so far every day I've had a different favourite.

Go Out, My Terracotta Heart & There Are Too Many of Us have all held the title, the current champ is Pyongyang.

[The Placid Casual]

The best bit when I saw them was intermission.

Love that little track.

[The Nal]

alright you can have that back, im trying to be ruthless!

If they're shaking up the setlist a bit they could maybe leave out the Australian dog food tune, the British Gas theme, the "score in a shitty American sport" tune, the Levis tune, the Sony Ericsson song, the Gateway tune, the Renault song, the Slovakian phone company jingle, the Chrysler tune, the Miller song and the Chanel, Intel, Miller, Coke and Nike songs too.

Still leaves them room to play the T-Mobile tune, the Fanta song, the FIFA 98 tune, the Nissan song, the Microsoft song and 4-5 off the new album!
