    Really like this album. Glad I saw them at both weekends of Coachella for what was potentially their last performances ever

    An inconsequential shift as the continents drift.

    I think they'll be back, if they can bounce back from the Think Tank era arguments they can bounce back from Coachella

    If Oasis can get back together, any band can get back together.

    The intrusive whisper fascinates me

    Yeah I’m extremely grateful that I was able to see them at the Fox Theater show in Pomona back in April. Such an incredible show under incredible circumstances

    My band played Alex James' festival, Big Feastival, last weekend. We got to chatting with him about all things cheese and Blur, and also met the Darren himself. Lovely guy and really great festival.

    I have a very very different ranking haha:

    13
    Blur
    The Magic Whip
    Ballad of Darren
    Modern Life is Rubbish
    Think Tank
    Parklife
    Leisure
    The Great Escape

    ... there's a pretty big gap between those first 7 and the bottom 2 although there's still a few classic songs on both. 13 and s/t are two of my favourite albums by anyone
