No more Blur! Unless Graham Coxon returns, apparently.

From the NME, the news on the news page says this.

The news story itself is blank, so no further details as yet, but this is what Damon has said.

So, is this going to be a long wait situ?

Here's hoping Graham doesn't return. ;)

Hey, on the upside this means more Gorillaz records. Oh wait...

It may have been blank when you looked Mark, but it sure ain't blank now!

"DAMON ALBARN - 'I'M WAITING FOR GRAHAM'

DAMON ALBARN has revealed he’s waiting for GRAHAM COXON return before BLUR make a new album.

Admitting that there’s nothing planned for his first band at the moment, Albarn told Billboard he’s keen to work with his former guitarist and friend again.

"I'm waiting for Graham to talk to me again,” said the Blur singer. “I'd love to see if we could make another record. I miss playing live in something that I grew up in. I do feel it's a shame that we didn't stick to it. Hopefully, we'll play together soon. As musicians, we need to spread peace and love."

However with Coxon currently completing a solo album and telling NME.COM earlier this year that a return to Blur was “not on the cards”, Albarn is concentrating on Gorillaz for now, announcing plans to tour the band’s second album ‘Demon Days’.

“It will all be done by silhouette,” he explained of the new live show. “It would be one (show) where the lights never come up, So, if Dennis Hopper (who features on the album) were to walk on stage, you would know it's him by his voice alone – as well as his silhouette. It will be like those old cut out silhouette portraits everyone used to get."

’Demon Days’ is released on May 23, with dates set to be announced soon."

Am I the only one hoping that Graham does return to the band and has some terrible awful expectation that if he does then Blur'll be able to dig out one last classic record to make up for the last two?

Seeing as some of you reported them talking in a pub last year, I guess Damon's really after Graham's lawyer.

No, if Graham returned I think I'd probably give them one more chance too.

This really is stupid.

No more Blur, eh? Do I care?

*ponders for a nanosecond*

Nope.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

It was a *bar*.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Honestly, who could really give that much of a good goddamn at this point?

If there's even just the tiniest glimmer of a fraction of a scintilla of a chance that they might reform and find themselves refreshed and / or nostalgic enough to start work on another Modern Life Is Rubbish - or even another Park Life - then I'm very much afraid I could!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If you want an old-style Blur album, might I point you in the direction of Employment by the Kaiser Chiefs?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that not 'Leisure' more?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

think tank >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 13 in every way.

I had already found my way there, but thanks anyway!

Blur and 13 are so much better than MLiR and Parklife. I really don't know why everyone wants them to remake the latter two.

Nope.

it took you a nano second to figure that out? puhlease!

As musicians, we need to spread peace and love.

Fucking hippy.

Blur and 13 are so much better than MLiR and Parklife. I really don't know why everyone wants them to remake the latter two.

At this stage I think my favorite albums by them would be Leisure, The Great Escape and Think Tank, with Blur and 13 cast into perdition and shot like dogs.

Now, as you all know, Geir and I don't see eye to eye on most things, but I have to agree with him that The Great Escape is a lovely, broken masterpiece waiting to be recognised as such.

six years pass...

Was Alex James presents ... Harvest any good?

Oh, I saw the ads for it..

I guess this question needs to be in a thread called Was Alex James presents ... Harvest any good?
