Blur?

[T-Mouse]

Anyone had an enormous spliff whilst listening to it? Please provide feedback. Strikes me as a perfick listen for such funtimes.

Ahaaa! I had a banger while listening to it last night. The slower and more delicate sequences were amplified and quite striking. Spaceman I hadn't really appreciated. Mary Jane opened my eyes to its understated beauty.

I'm on maybe my 4th listen and it keeps improving. I adore Ghost Ship. It's very "soft Gorillaz" but the noodly guitar from Graham is irreplaceable.

[T-Mouse]

Actually, assuming a 18-20 song set. Those six new ones, 8-9 big crowd pleasers:

Girls & Boys

Parklife

There's No Other Way

Beetlebum

Song 2

Tender

Out of Time

The Universal

And 4/5 fan favourites:

Sing

This Is A Low

Caramel

For Timorrow

And I'd say you've got a hell of a set list.

No coffee and tv would kill me

Hehehe it was the Steely Dan sheen to Ghost Ship that had me pining for a numbah.

Ok, you can have that too.

Lonesome Street sounds like a set opener to me?

No Trimm Trabb??

No Trimm Trabb??

There's wiggle room, but obviously a line would need to be drawn somewhere.

I think they'd drop Out Of Time, I think including it on previous tours was something of an olive branch from Graham to show that he'd moved on after being kicked out of the sessions.

The band's not doing a career retrospective now, I don't see why they should include anything from Think Tank. As much as I like the record, it's not a proper Blur album.

doing a free show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, which is a great intimate venue short of 1000. Has to be first gig in US in over a decade surely, this century even? will be trying in a few hours' time to get a ticket

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

[home to you]

It's really good. Couple video snippets from the raw jams that took place in Hong Kong. Very frank & emotional stuff from Graham.

Aye, really enjoyed it! Good to see that Graham was such a driving force behind the record/sessions. Very honest words from Damon too

[Dog Burger]

Just listened to the album for the first time, and liked it way more than I expected to. Really love Mirrorball. What a gorgeous Strat sound from Graham. Sublime.

Surely those fan favourites would be more likely to be nixed for a Glastonbury headline slot than the likes of Country House and End of a Century?

[russycarps]

I'd say this is a low is one of the crowd pleasers, no?

[Osama Jim Laden]

I'd say this is a low is one of the crowd pleasers, no?

Is that what Damon broke down to in 2009? A definite crowd pleaser

Not sure on that one. I love that song and you can tell the band love playing it too. Whether or not your casual Blur fan would be pining for it? I'm not convinced. It would be a staple on any blur set list regardless.

I'd imagine core songs that would be there no matter what would be:

Beetlebum

Song 2

Country House

Tender

Coffee and TV

For Tomorrow

Parklife

Advert

Popscene

Girls and Boys

There's no other way

The Universal

This is a low

End of a Century

To the End

Make room for 5-6 of the new songs. Then a few select from the back catalogue. I would love for them to do Badhead or Charmless Man. That's a 23-24 song set list that would smash glastos back doors in

[Bradders]

I'm always surprised by how little reaction Popscene gets. We were the only ones particularly up for it every time I've seen them. It's not a song you hear on the radio much either, and most of my friends don't know it, I feel like its got lost a bit over time. Hope they stick with it though.

surely scrap country house

Thought that was Tender with the crowd singing "Oh My Baby...."

I'd happily see song 2, parklife and country house dropped. But I know that wont happen.

I thought Sing was a hit wasnt it? I always thought that was one of their more well known songs. Probably wrong like!

[T-Mouse]

surely scrap country house

Happily would replace with Charmless Man, Badhead, Trimm Trabb or Out of time. Can't imagine it'd be sacrificed at a Glastonbury Headline slot though.

You guys are almost certainly right about Coffee & TV being on the list. It's the only big song of theirs that Coxon sings.
