I like to listen to Blur I think they are a good band I thought they were very good in the 90s and I also know that they are reforming with the original line-up
Damon Albarn
Graham Coxon
Alex James
Dave Rowntree

They split up originally because Graham Coxon left who was the founder of the band and they felt the band could do better with him in the band but they are reforming with and Graham Coxon has rejoined as well.

Is there any other people who like Blur and what are your favourte songs

Has anyone heard the B-Side to End Of A Century there are two songs I'll explain them

The first is called
Rednecks
Graham Coxon sings it they made up a country song and he sings in an American accent and Damon Albarn harmonises in an American accent as well it is really funny

The second song is
Alex's Song
Alex James sings it and it is a very sweet song and what they have is they have distorted his voice to make his voice sound high pitched it sounds like something from Alvin and The Chipmunks.

Both songs are interesting?????????

I have them saved on my computer but the problem is I don't know how to link them up.

Blur's pretty damn good, but the kicker for me is the music video for "Coffee & TV". That's just brilliant. That REALLY appeals to my type of humor. I also really like the Girls & Boys song. Woohoo! :p

My daughter (who is 2) really loves singing along to Song 2. It's SO cute!

Noooooooooooooooooooooo..... I don't want them to reform. I'm only 31 - that's far too young for nostalgia-based reunion tours. :( ;)

Loved Blur (Parklife was one of the big albums in first year uni in *gulp* 1995). Even saw them play at Monash Caulfield when they were touring The Great Escape.

Yeah, they never broke up.

Just went on hiatus while Damon could work with Gorillaz (who I find to be better than Blur, actually)

Given that Graham Coxon left the band and they have not played together for four years, I reckon that's as good as saying they've broken up. Even though there's been no formal announcement of a divorce, it's still a (seemingly) permanent separation...

Hmm...

I've read rumors of a new Blur album. I did read today though, they all did get together (with Graham), and they're on great terms, but just not ready for new music.
