It's fab, agreed.

It's fab, agreed.

Got my copy of the record for £25 which is quite steep but I thought the packaging was great and the record sounded crystal clear. Definitely worth the money

Same - instant pop classic. I really want to see them live somewhere this year!

It really sounds familiar to me, but I can't place it. Anyone else feel that way? Can you think of a song that it sounds like?

It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to go to Hyde Park isn't it?

Balls.

Balls.

Electric Picnic has saved my bacon mate. Hyde Park is vulgar.

[kingcrawler]

I'm relying on a warm up show in Scotland like they mentioned a couple of months ago. If not then an arena tour later in the year would be nice!

I'm on honeymoon when EP is on. Glasto is my only full festival this year.

I'm hoping that because ticket sales are poor they'll "leak" another cheap tickets link. If so could somebody let me know immediately please?

I've been waiting on some kind of announcement for a scottish date, I'm presuming it'll be a last minute, frantic dash for tickets in a small venue the way it's going

With a bit of luck anyway that would be ace

[JBarbour]

I'm enjoying the new album...

But does anyone else think some of the songs sound like they were destined for a Gorillaz album?

May have already been mentioned not upto date with this thread.

Half of them could've fitted onto Everyday Robots.

Will be gutted if they don't do a tour after this. Kind of want to sell my foos ticket and go see them but can't let my brother down who I'm going with.

If it wasn't Hyde Park I'd be tempted to do the same.

Fair point. Never been to Hyde park but I've heard nothing but bad things about it as a venue. Still they're one of the bands I most want to see.

Yeah I've never been but just based on what I've heard I'm not gonna bother. Would like to get a Strokes/Blur joint ticket if it wasn't for that, especially as I'm in London for Foos the day after The Strokes.

[dentalplan]

I'm confident Blur will announce a decent arena tour after Hyde Park's done, and I would imagine they'll chuck in a couple of shows at Barras in the week between IOW and BST. No real reason to get pushed into seeing them at Hyde Park unless it's dirt cheap like last year.

[russycarps]

Think I'll try for a ten pound Hyde park ticket on the day

[yaniv297]

Non-brit here - what's so bad with Hyde Park? And how early you need to get there to get a spot where you can actually see something?
