[Ms Magpie]

AMEN.

[bedofroses]

sorry i dont post in here. im going to start! you girls always have the best pictures :D

Hello! The more the merrier :D

Made my dad listen to Parklife (the album) today. He survived.

:lol: Not the biggest fan I take it?

[*Perrine*]

Yeah, same here. Once you experience queuing because you want to get into the front row, you want to do it at every concert despite how stupid and boring it can be. :D

*high five*
Haha exactly, it all pays off in the end, but oh god sometimes it can be so long!

if you enjoy it let me know and i'll make you a playlist of their best stuff

i was joking :p
Thanks I liked it! Should listen to it again :nice:

Me too :wacky: although I'm pretty sure it wouldn't phase them seeing as they had some total loony fans back in the day anyway.
Didn't Graham always get like pictures of people mutilating themselves sent to him, saying they would kill themselves if he didn't help them. Alex said he always just got porn sent to him from fans, which he didn't really mind :laugh3:
Awww is that true?
Oh god Alex, I so picture him watching the vids xD

Made my dad listen to Parklife (the album) today. He survived.
Hahaha
I make my parents listen to Blur whenever I want :tongue:

[Lizzybear]

^ yah, Perrine that thing about crazy fans is in Alex's book. I think it was just dirty pictures that girls sent to alex though. good god, maybe some of them sent videos :uhoh: lol


LOL Nina, I dont think my parents would care for Blur's music that much anyway. Speaking of Parklife have you girls heard the demo for it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKAZ_PpMQns
Dames is saying Phil Daniels parts. But still it's cockney as FUCK :lol:

[*Perrine*]

Oh I definitely should read that book haha

I can't believe it's Damon singing with this accent, that's so funny xD
Btw, I've been wondering all day long what was this accent, thanks for bringing me the answer hehe

Btw, you know what? I was speaking to my mum about the french woman singing in To the End, and turns out she is a friend of my uncle, how awesome is that? :stunned:

[Ms Magpie]

:lol: Not the biggest fan I take it?No, not really :lol: At least he didn't say he hated them!

Haha exactly, it all pays off in the end, but oh god sometimes it can be so long!

Hahaha
I make my parents listen to Blur whenever I want :tongue:I want you to be my queuing buddy for their next tour. The will tour again someday.

That's the way to go, they must learn to love them. :sneaky:

LOL Nina, I dont think my parents would care for Blur's music that much anyway. Speaking of Parklife have you girls heard the demo for it?

Deal! Of course they will, they just have to :bomb:

Well they're not really hard to convince, my mom already likes Damon's work since she's the one who bought the Gorillaz and TGTBATQ albums!

[Ms Magpie]

There's no other way :bomb:


Your mum is cool! Ply her with Blur, she'll love them in no time!

[Lizzybear]

Oh he is? But which one? Cause I read they were 2 versions of this song, with 2 different french singers^^

Haha that's fun xD Well of course, the fangirlism runs in your veins Lizzy, not your fault :tongue:

Whoa, this is awesome. :stunned:


I... don't know how people don't like music. Any kind of music :(
I know, next time I see him I'm killing him with questions haha

I can't understand this either, I couldn't live without music :freak:

[Lizzybear]

Ooh I forget her name. I'll have to dig through Alex's book to find out which french lady Graham is obsessed with :P

Right? My dad is a freak though, we don't even get along so whatev~ he would be lame and not like music.


hahahah my fangirling is in my blood, its not my fault really! :lol:

[Ms Magpie]

We're SUCH fangirls. :sleep:

[*Perrine*]

^Hey at least we can say Lizzy is worse than us... :kiss:

[bedofroses]

Oh I definitely should read that book haha

Btw, you know what? I was speaking to my mum about the french woman singing in To the End, and turns out she is a friend of my uncle, how awesome is that? :stunned:

:) yes, that book is a must for any blur fan.

wow! its at times like that you realise what a small world it is.

No, not really :lol: At least he didn't say he hated them!


exactly! maybe he didn't say that, because he's considering their music, he's undecided, he might one day turn round to you and say 'actually, that blur, their music is alright, i don't mind it!' :lol:


i'll listen to that parklife demo soon when I have a moment haha.

[Lizzybear]

i don't mind being a fangirl, as long it doesn't make you a complete retard. i can see why people hate fangirls. there are a lot of fangirls i dont like on here either just cus they act annoying.





This is a really good performance of Ambulance:

I was born out of love, its the only way to come into this world.

i love those lyrics

I LOVE that song, I'm in such a Think Tank mood lately. It's really sad seeing Graham not playing with them though. This same performance on another vid when they play For Tomorrow, you can tell that song reminds Damon of Graham. It's so heartbreaking. Plus this was one of the last performances Blur did on Think Tank, it must of been very sad for them knowing it was all about to end :cry: It makes me sad just thinking about it. Thank god i wasnt a fan back then, I would of been a mess. I'm really happy I'm a fan now and they are all reunited :heart:

[Braddock]

when i said fangirls i wasn't having a go at you guys

[loudefix]

Oh he is? But which one? Cause I read they were 2 versions of this song, with 2 different french singers^^

They made a French version (only release in France) with Françoise Hary, which I think is better than the original. It's called "La Comédie".

The original
YouTube- Blur - To The End
Graham is so sweet wearing a suit :heart:

The French version
YouTube- blur in the studio

[bedofroses]

when i said fangirls i wasn't having a go at you guys

aww, thats alright, i don't think anyone in here thought you were :D by the way nice avatar, I love Beck, and Sea Change.


I know what you mean Liz, some fangirls are just so extreme, to the point they are absolutely blinded by anything the person they are a fan of does or takes part in, like they will excuse anything they do :lol:

[Lizzybear]

when i said fangirls i wasn't having a go at you guys

i didn't think you were. i was just saying what i thought about fangirls in general :nice:

I like that avatar too!

yep. i dont mind making fun of the boyz sometimes either, because honestly they've done some pretty funny things :lol: and i dont get all offended if someone says they dont like Blur or one of them. you can't say anything bad around some fangirls or they get all offended and crabby about it.

btw
i kept having these crazy dreams last night, and one of them was a Blur/Gorillaz dream :lol: it was funny, but really sad at the same time wtf.

[bedofroses]

*reduced to a puddle on the floor*

W-O-W

That nearly made me cry for some weird reason :lol: but yea, lovely performance there. They all kind of look like they don't want to be there, for obvious reasons I guess. Its cool the reunion happened, because its kind of put Blur fans minds to rest as well, that they get on now, and made up. Where as if the last we saw of them together was Think Tank, it would be very sad indeed to think all them years had passed and nothing happened.

[Lizzybear]

Exactly. This performance is so bittersweet it puts tears to my eyes, I can't stop watching it. Damon just looks very sad. I'm SOOOO SOOO happy they all made up and love each other again.

[bedofroses]

He does look so sad, something about the look in his eyes. I dont know if you've seen this video before, or if anyone else here has, but it's a pretty good performance, it gives me goosebumps.

YouTube- Blur - Beetlebum (Live Wembley 1999)

[Lizzybear]

^ yes! Beetlebum ALWAYS gives me goosebumps, even more so when its live.

[bedofroses]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKAZ_PpMQns
Dames is saying Phil Daniels parts. But still it's cockney as FUCK :lol:

:lol: omg. I cringed on Damon's behalf there. I think the first time I saw Damon speak in an interview, I was shocked that he was so posh :laugh3:

Is it just me or is Tumblr not working?

[Lizzybear]

yah, Tumblr is taking a big crap! :angry: GET YO' SHIT TOGETHER TUMBLR!!!


lolol he is totally taking the piss out of himself in that Parklife demo, i love it :lol:



and here is a really good performance of Out of Time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5zWNAh6On4
Damon in that suit :sneaky: and all that craziness at the beginning with the audience hahah wtf.

[bedofroses]

Haha! He sounds like a foghorn.

:heart: aww. That song is just so beautiful. Think Tank definately has some amazing, stunning songs on it, and Damon's songwriting clearly improved further on that album, but for me it just doesnt feel like a Blur record, simply because of Grahams absense I suppose. A really good album for me, but I just dont associate it with the other Blur albums somehow, if that makes sense. Battery In Your Leg is another of my recent favourites from that album, with his vocals and Graham's guitar.

[Black Rose]

YouTube- Blur - Good Song

Anybody got the song "Don't Bomb When You Are the Bomb" they could send me

[MissSpies]

Think Tank is my favorite Blur album. I think I tend to go towards their more recent stuff and of course Damon's work in Gorillaz.

& LizzyBerry what was your dream about? Lord know I've had my share fare of Damon dreams :wink3: :lol:

[Lizzybear]

YouTube- Blur - Good Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRrJugyk1Yw)

Anybody got the song "Don't Bomb When You Are the Bomb" they could send me

I have it. I don't know how to give it to you though :embarrassed:

Haha! He sounds like a foghorn.

Battery In Your Leg is another of my recent favourites from that album, with his vocals and Graham's guitar.

Does feel like a totally different Blur era. It's sort of on it's own, like you said, probably because Graham isn't there.

Although I don't like Crazy Beat :P that song sounds more like a Gorillaz b-side rather than a Blur single. It's just. No. haha

Think Tank is my favorite Blur album. I think I tend to go towards their more recent stuff and of course Damon's work in Gorillaz.

& LizzyBerry what was your dream about? Lord know I've had my share fare of Damon dreams :wink3: :lol:

oh god xD
i actually just shared it with my tumblr Blur friends... I'll copy and past the dream here:



I don’t know what the dealio was but I had like 10 dreams, all different, like one right after the other. It felt like forever. And I oddly remember all of them and that NEVER happens to me.

Anyway, one of them was Blur/ Gorillaz related. Basically in the dream me and Graham were roommates and both Damon’s lovers lol (oh yah, by the way they all looked like they did in the Charmless Man music video). But we both were totally fine sharing Damon and me and Graham were biffs anyway. So he invited us on some cruise ship because Gorillaz were performing a whole weeks worth of concerts on there. So Graham and I pack up our bags and got to the cruise ship before anyone else. Dave ended up being the cruise captain, he had the little hat and striped shirt and everything. But Paul Simonon kept insisting that he in fact looked more like a Captain than Dave did and should be the real one steering the ship. So Dave and Paul didn’t really get along throughout the dream.

So the cruise begins and we are suddenly cruising along the Somali coast of Africa because Damon said Snoop Dog would join us from there o_O

Anyway, one of the best parts (which I’m going to leave out because I feel weird talking about it and I feel like a freak fangirl blabbing about it on tumblr) was this sexual part with Damon and me. Which is very strange because if I ever have a sexual dream it’s always with like ex boyfriends or something, it’s rarely ever a celeb crush or someone I really don’t know. Anyway, going to keep that part to myself, god knows I’d lose some followers for that one.

After all that fun fun stuff, there was some big ball and everyone looked super nice and danced to all the Gorillaz songs. Alex was there too, he was in charge of the food catering (all which was cheese btw, of course!).

After the big ball, suddenly the cruise ship got attacked by Somali pirates o_O! It was terrible! Graham ran up to the deck because he left his favorite pair of shoes up there, and it was so terrible! He got speared by one of the Somali pirates D: D: D:!! And he fell overboard. Damon flipped a shit and dived in after him. I was a mess and I dived in too to make sure they both would be ok. By the time I found them both underwater, Graham was dying and Damon refused to live without him. I was “Damon we have to go, we are going to drown, he’s gone!” (cus you know you can talk underwater in dreams.) Damon wouldn’t come though and he was crying and saying he had to die with Graham because he was the love of his life. It was so sad, he was holding Graham in arms and crying and you could tell Damon was about to drown too. :’(

The next thing I remember is being pushed back up to the surface and floating on Alex’s cheese cart. The only survivors from the ship attack had been me and Alex. We floated together on his little cheese cart for like 3 days and he talked the entire time. I hated him, “Shut up! Im going to kill you! I want to die in silence” But he just kept talking about everything and it was so annoying.

We finally did get rescued though because Snoop had found out about the attack and had sent his own private cruise ship out to find any survivors. Me and Alex made it back home safely and then we were on a bunch of talk shows telling everyone our experience. Alex decided to write another book, telling about the beautiful and tragic romance and death of Graham and Damon. It ended up being some huge mega hit, and ended up selling more copies than the bible. Then it sorted of faded into this whole new dream with my family so I guess that was the end of the Blur/ Gorillaz dream. I was super happy when I woke up because I haven’t had an epic dream like that in a while! But the whole Damon and Graham dying scene still made me sad.

So I thought you all would be entertained by that sillyness ;D



:P

[loudefix]

Graham ran up to the deck because he left his favorite pair of shoes up there, and it was so terrible!

Wow that's a tragic dream.
But this part makes me laugh to death :laugh3:

[Lizzybear]

ahahaha i know! Graham and his shoes :lol: lmao. i really hope i have another epic Blur dream tonight :sneaky:

[Ms Magpie]

Whoa, that was an epic dream! :o Can't believe there was a whole story and not just bits and pieces of it.

[Ms Magpie]

You'll kill me after you read this post, but I still have to listen to Think Tank in depth. :blank: I've listened to it a couple of times, but was never focused on it so I guess I need to print out the lyrics and listen to it again and again.

[loudefix]

Yeah ! you'd better listen to it until you know every single word of the lyrics :whip:

[Ms Magpie]

I'm afraid it'll really end up this way :P

[loudefix]

You could start by "Jets", really hard to learned. :lol:

[MissSpies]

LMAOOO :laugh3: that dream was of epic proportions!

Gramon!!!!11!1!!!!1!!! Oh lord, so beautiful and tragic all at the same time :lol:

[Lizzybear]

Whoa, that was an epic dream! :o Can't believe there was a whole story and not just bits and pieces of it.

I knowww! Every few months I'll get a dream like that. Just really epic and long, they are really amazing :D


You'll kill me after you read this post, but I still have to listen to Think Tank in depth. :blank: I've listened to it a couple of times, but was never focused on it so I guess I need to print out the lyrics and listen to it again and again.

You will love it! I'm sure it will really grow on you!

LMAOOO :laugh3: that dream was of epic proportions!

Gramon!!!!11!1!!!!1!!! Oh lord, so beautiful and tragic all at the same time :lol:

haha i know. so bittersweet :cry:
anyway you should totally tell us all how you met Damon, i know you mentioned it in the Gorillaz thread. if you want to share of course :nice:

[bedofroses]

Graham was dying and Damon refused to live without him. Damon wouldn’t come though and he was crying and saying he had to die with Graham because he was the love of his life.



:stunned: aww

what an awesome dream though, apart from the detail of graham and damon dying of course, very dramatic :lol:

[Lizzybear]

hehe yah. poor Gramon. still so sad!




Here's a nice little story behind To The End:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA0XsAqjizE


By now it was clear that Blur were a consummate pop group. They could swagger. They could cajole. They could make the listener laugh, tap a toe, even take a surrogate drug trip. ‘To The End’ revealed another facet of their burgeoning talent: they could, almost effortlessly, break your heart. If ‘This Is A Low’ is ‘Parklife’s masterpiece, ‘To The End’ runs it desperately close. When the band first heard Damon play it on the piano, all were convinced of its brilliance. A demo was recorded at Matrix, with Justine Frischmann singing the French parts.

Musically exceptional, ‘To The End’ also boasts one of the best performances – and lyrics – from Damon who recorded the vocal while stoned; one would never know. For the lyric, he sheds his usual devices of narrative and character study and opts for a human reflection on a relationship. But there is still a crucial ambiguity: is ‘the end’ the termination of an affair? Or is it the long-awaited end of some period of trial and difficulty? Or something else? It’s hard to say. The mood is achingly romantic yet infinitely sad. “Dirty words”, “collapsing in love”, “drinking far too much” and “neither of us mean what we say” are mesmerizing inversions of the standard love song sentiments, incontrovertibly brilliant, ‘To The End’ will outlive most pop songs written this decade. When Alex heard the finished mix he cried – a response with which many fans will sympathize.

[*Perrine*]

I've never listened to Think Tank :shame:

They made a French version (only release in France) with Françoise Hary, which I think is better than the original. It's called "La Comédie".

The original

Thanks! This video of them recording with Francoise Hardy is really cool :nice:

@Liz: hahaha that was an epic dream xD I love the part with Alex's cheese cart, wtf :lol:
Tho the part of Graham and Damon dieing together is so sad :sad:

[eff-exx]

I think it's time I downloaded all of Blur albums because finding them in local stores is just gonna take forever.

[Lizzybear]

All mah Blur homegurls... we should totally have a Blur week on the forum! They have exactly 7 albums, one for each day and we could all take turns doing one. Ppl have been nominating other bands and we should nominate our Blur boyz for it too! It would be so fun, and then some other ppl could get into Blur too!

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71515

[Ms Magpie]

Good idea! Just posted in the thread, saying the obvious. :sleep:

[Lizzybear]

AWESOME! I'll make a planning thread for us now. There is enough of us for it!

[Ms Magpie]

Cool! Go ahead :smiley:

[Lizzybear]

Done :smug: btw I love your new siggy! Those are some of my favorite Blur lyrics :nice:

[Ms Magpie]

Thanks, mine too! The song itself isn't a favourite of mine, but the lyrics are so good.

[Lizzybear]

:wacky: Nina did you want me to put you down for one of the days/ albums in the other Blur Week thread? get your dibs down?


Oh and these other Alex and his bb pics for you too!

OMG thanks :blush: He's sporting the FunfaceTM well. :blush:

He must be a cool dad, they all look so happy!

[Lizzybear]

The FunfaceTM hahahaha yes he is!


His kids are already beautiful, they are gonna be such handsome little men when they grow up! Hey, Alex's boys should grow up and date Damon and Graham's little girls. Then all of Blur can be one happy big family forever :wacko:

[loudefix]

isn't that face lovely ?

[Lizzybear]

I think your in a Graham mood tonight Louise! :sneaky:

and yes that face is adorable beyond words!

[Black Rose]

So whats your favourite Graham solo album?

[Lizzybear]

^ probably Happiness in Magazines. At least that's the one I find myself listening to the most.

Oh and sorry I haven't sent you that Blur b side yet. My itunes has been crashing really randomly the last few days. :mean: but ill try again really soon to get it to you.

[eff-exx]

I NEED TO LISTEN UP HAPPINESS IN MAGAZINES.

I have the album, but I barely listen to it. :shame:

[loudefix]

I suppose it's The Golden D. But It depends of my mood and Happiness in Magazines and The Spinning Top are with the Golden D in my top 3. As those 3 LPs are completly different they are complementary.

And you Dargarius, do you listen to Graham's music ?

And do you know that site : http://blurbootlegs.blogspot.es/
You can find so many bootlegs from blur but also gorillaz, Damon's solo stuff, ... and a lot of b-sides

[bedofroses]

wow that looks stunning! where in Italy is this?

[loudefix]

It's in France, in Marseille. It's the view from the basilica "Notre Dame de la Garde". From this place you can see all the city. Really stunning.

[bedofroses]

Oh I just presumed oops :lol:

Amazing

[Ms Magpie]

What a lovely view! :cool:

[Lizzybear]

that's lovely Louise! :wacky:

i love it when a place just reminds you of a song. when i went to hampstead heath i couldn't help think about For Tomorrow. I wanted to grab some hot young guy and roll down Primrose Hill with him :lol: One day, I will do this!

[eff-exx]

Whoa, the view is amazing!

[Ms Magpie]

ALEX JAMES. WTF. TAKE THAT OFF! :sick:

[Lizzybear]

Nina! You should dress him, he obviously doesn't know how to dress like a normal human being anymore :whip:

[Ms Magpie]

If I were in charge of dressing him, I'd put all the clothes away. :mellow:

bwahaha :wink3:


I found this... it's from some physics textbook!

I know, right? :lol: Physics sounds much more interesting that way. I'd want to do this kind of exercise ALL DAY.

Btw, I don't think Alex has only 55 kg, he's heavier than that :lol:

Poor Dave. :cry:

[Lizzybear]

Had to be during Leisure sometime as Damon's still got that long hair from There's No Other Way music vid lol



I know I feel bad saying that, but the others always overshadow poor Dave :shame:

silly hat Damon! I've been watching so much starshaped lately :wacky:

[Ms Magpie]

Still haven't seen it and a few more weeks will pass before I do. :blank:


Will say it again, poor Dave. :(

[Lizzybear]

Alex isn't too nice to Dave in Starshaped:

"Dave get's all the stink in the band really, shit. We just beat Dave up"


:whip: mean Alex!!!

[Ms Magpie]

Piece of ginge? :lol: :| That's so mean of them, it's like he was the black sheep!


This is probably the most horrible interview I've seen so far.

YouTube- ‪Nardwuar vs. Blur‬‎

[Lizzybear]

Hahah I think Damon was just joking about the piece of ginge though, cus he called the other guy a piece of ginge too .


Oh my. :blank: i hate that interview. What did they put in Dave's Wheaties that morning? He turned into Mr. Hyde!
Maybe I should ask Dave about that interview on Facebook :lol: he responds to some ppl on there... ask him if that was some sort of prank they were trying to play on that poor fella, Narwuar.

[Braddock]

haha, they were just playing with narwuar
he is famous for annoying the people he interviews so dave probably just annoyed him first. they knew it was making for an interesting interview and trust me the interviewer doesn't mind.

watch the interview with the strokes and narwuar when they first started out. he winds them up so much :laugh3:

INNORITE. Normally Dave doesn't look that good. But in Sunday Sunday mv (I think so), the part where he's washing the dishes, he looked kinda cute. :lol:

And yes, that picture is sooooo pedo-ish of Damon. :blank::P

[eff-exx]

Oh yes, I talked about Blur for my English Oral exam. :charming:
And I got full marks. :awesome:
But I suppose my teacher was being lenient.

[Ms Magpie]

I'm glad Damon got rid of that mop. :sick:

[eff-exx]

I'm pretty sure she's lenient. I mean, no one can have perfect oral exams!

Or maybe it's the luck of talking about Blur that gave me the marks. :lol:

[Lizzybear]

Ummm that's awesome Ly! :awesome:

I have a speech class this coming up this semester and a lot of the speeches are ones where you can talk about any subject.... I totally want to go on a rant about Blur :lol:




& Nina I think Dames has had the mop since he was little, i guess he didn't change his hairstyle for a long time :p *points to avi*

[Ms Magpie]

Lucky you guys, I never get that sort of exams!



As for the mop; while it generally suits kids, it looks terrible on anyone over 16. :blank:

Do! :wacko:

I've got a question. Why is it that in that pedo picture of Damon, his hair is brown? I thought it's blond. :thinking:
Can a person's hair colour change throughout their life (without dye and such)? As in from blonde to brown or something like that.

[Ms Magpie]

I've no idea what happened with Damon's hair but yes, a person's hair colour can change. For example, two of my cousins had blonde hair when they were kids. As they grew older, one's hair stayed blonde and the other's turned to brown. A more extreme example was my dad whose hair went from curly blonde to straight black.

[eff-exx]

Ooh! That's cool. :wacko:
But I don't think a person with dark coloured hair can turn blond... Or at least not that vast of a difference. :\

/off-topic

[loudefix]

One of my brothers was born with very dark hair. Then he became blond (as damon was) to finaly back to a light brown color around 10 years old. My second brother was born blond and now his hair are very very dark. And his 2 years old son is blond.

Today I heard "To The End" on the radio ! It's already rare to hear blur so this song it's excpetionnel. :cool:

[eff-exx]

WHOA.

Hair colour for the people over here barely change. :lol:


I don't think I've heard a Blur song on the local radios here. :thinking:

[Lizzybear]

I have no idea what is going on with Damon's hair in that picture.. Graham's hair looks REALLY black as well and usually he just has brown hair. That's really the only picture I've seen with Damon's hair that dark of a color. Maybe it's that particular photoshoot making it look weird or something idk.

[eff-exx]

He couldn't be wearing a wig could he?

[Ms Magpie]

Louise, that's awesome! :cool: (both the hair and the radio things)

I've heard lots of Blur songs on the telly and radio 10 years ago or so, but nowadays that's pretty much an exception.


ETA: Damon probably spends each day out in the sun so he can keep his hair blond. :sneaky:

[Lizzybear]

Mmmm ^^ i like that theory... tanning his hot bod too. He actually does have pretty good color to be living in London.

http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww246/elizraz/Blur/tumblr_l6zx4jYUSY1qc161po1_500.jpg

[Ms Magpie]

Yep, he is rather tanned for an Englishman! Looks like he needs to invest in smaller size trousers.



Or maybe I don't want him to.

[loudefix]

^:sneaky:
He really should change his pants that's ridiculous. But last year in Paris I laughed so much with my friends seeing his blue underwear.

or on this one (at the end Jamie T has the same problem :laugh3:)

[Lizzybear]

Ahhh Louise! :bomb: you are so lucky you've seen him at so many of his different shows. And Graham too!
I want to be you!
:P

Aw he is so cute in those videos.. just jumping all around on stage like it's a lil party!

[loudefix]

Yes I was soooo lucky. I was in Paris just for one day and for my work so it was an excellent coincidence.
I was suppose to came back on the evening but I begged my boss to stay one more night.
And as you want to know everything (:rolleyes:) did I mentioned that at the end of the show we waited for him and I had a autograph.
But this time I was so impressed that no word came out of my mouth.
And a friend wanted to take a photo of me with Damon but I was so scared to ask. I've been a total idiot.

But the last weekend it's me wanted to be you. :P Going to lollapalooza would made me truly happy.

[Lizzybear]

Yes i know! :bomb: you've posted that video of you when you met him. He thought he was old and ugly in it, when someone asked if they could have a kiss :lol: If I ever meet him I just want to give him a big hug (and maybe sneak a kiss in thur :sneaky:)

Don't be jealous of me! I'm sure there are plenty of festivals to go to in Europe too! Plus I didn't meet anyone or anything.

[loudefix]

This spanish girl was so annoying :angry:
I have to admit that last year was incredible. I never had so much luck.

And back to blur
When they was Seymour. It's in the No distance left to run DVD.
No pants problem but jumping everywhere like a dumb. And lol at Alex :lol:

[Lizzybear]

The Spanish girl? The girl who asked him to kiss her? Yah, I mean what does she expect him to say... "Shorr! Get over here, let's just make out!" :lol:

You really did have so much luck! Crazy!

That video is precious! Damon and that tambourine hahaha they've came a long way. Bless 'em :nice:

[Ms Magpie]

They're a lovely bunch, aren't they? :D So much showing undies and jumping in those videos!

They've changed so much from the Seymour days. :cool:

"Number 1! Blur beat Oasis by a nose!"




By a NOSE hahaha Damon's perfect nose won the battle :wacko:

[CockleHocker]

Fuck off! 15 years?! I feel so old now!

And dickheads on youtube are still going on about it. It really was/is ridiculous.

[Black Rose]

Blur won the battle, but Oasis won the war (in the end)

[Lizzybear]

^^ :whip:
i doubt anyone is going to agree with that in here.



Fuck off! 15 years?! I feel so old now!

Yah, they were completely different bands, with different sounds so it was silly to compare them. I still think Blur were always more creative and not afraid to change things up every album. And obviously Damon has gone on to work with all kinds of creative ppl and make all kinds of awesome music!

[Black Rose]

Sales figures wise Oasis won, musically Blur won ;)

[CockleHocker]

^Yeah - since when have sales figures been the measure of quality?

The whole oasis vs Blur thing was ridiculous. People are such idiots. The media is always behind this kind of bullshit and people always fall for it hook, line and sinker. It sold lots of papers though, didn't it?

I just find it so strange that people still get so worked up about it. Every time you look at a Blur vid on youtube there's comments comparing the two. I assume it's the same the other way around also.

[Lizzybear]

:wacky: yeah. and well Oasis were more popular in the States :sick:
I don't think Blur cared though, they've never really liked the States that much anyway and I have a lot of respect for them not sucking up to our media and stuff to try and get popular with the radio stations over here. All we play is crap anyway.

Over here, Oasis' albums can easily be found, but so far, I don't think I've seen any Blur albums, other than Midlife, Best of and All The People (Hyde Park audio). :sad:

Blur won the battle, but Oasis won the war (in the end)

I have to agree. But if Damon Albarn's achievements are counted in in the even longer run, I would say Blur won. Blur reunited, Oasis broke up.

I suppose I am a little biased... :shame:

It's amazing! You gotta read it. Alex's Damon stories are hilarious and even though it's written by him you really find out a lot more about each of them. I found it very sweet how endearing he was towards Graham especially but also Damon.




I also found this quote today that I find hilarious!

And the bass player’s a closet faggot who wants his nose smacking in. He pinched my arse - proper pinched it when I was out. I turned around and went “What do you think you’re doing?” And he went “Alright mate?” I’ll give you alright, you ****. But apart from that, I like ‘em [laughs]

:laugh3:

If I'm not mistaken, Noel Gallagher hates Alex and Damon the most from Blur, right? :thinking: I remember reading that he wished for them to catch AIDS and die, but then he apologized for that statement.

[Lizzybear]

Hahahahah I still am laughing like crazy from that quote. And yeah, Noel said he wished Alex and Damon would die of aids.
I can imagine Alex annoying the Oasis guys to no end! :lol:

Given Liam Gallagher’s ongoing animosity towards Blur – at last year’s Q Awards, some five years after the Blur v Oasis feud raged in the tabloids, Liam heckled Blur bassist Alex James with shouts of “Fatboy”

OMG so many lol - Tender, Coffee and TV, Out Of Time, Song 2, Bugman, Girls and Boys, Beetlebum... really there's so many awesome tracks on it! :D I really wish i'd got into Blur sooner tbh, Damon Albarn is a total genius. :wacky:

Appart Girls and Boy (Parklife) and Out Of Time (Think Tank), all the songs are from the albums "Blur" and "13". Maybe you could start with the album "Blur" it is less experimental than "13".
And I agree, Damon is a genius :nice:

I think I'm falling for Blur.... (yeah, it's about time). Damon's voice is pure bliss. :heart:

You can all welcome me here now. :P
Alice! Was about time:whip:

Good luck for translating it Louise, ain't that easy!

[*Perrine*]

Omg, I was watching an interview of Two Door Cinema Club on french TV, and they showed pics of the band meeting Prince Charles at Glastonbury
And then, in the background, I spot a guy... wearing short pants... with long brown hair... being an attention whore... guess who? xD

[Ms Magpie]

You've made me very happy.

Thanks for the picspam.



:drunk:

[*Perrine*]

Love the pig picture :awesome:

[Ms Magpie]

I love them all. :wacky:

[Ms Magpie]

Btw guys. Would anyone have time tonight to do a little Blur listening party? I feel like I don't know their songs well enough so I thought I'd listen to them tonight, read the lyrics etc. Is anybody in?

[eff-exx]

I would be fine with that, Nina. But I don't have every Blur album either. What time? Y'know, timezones. :\

And Liz, nice Alex picspam. :charming:

:laugh3::laugh3:
Gosh, reminds me of this interview :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOsZlA9QI0&feature=related

[Ms Magpie]

Ly, which albums do you have? Could you download them if I gave you a link? Oh and when do you have time? I'm home with nothing to do so any time is good for me.

[eff-exx]

I have Modern Life is Rubbish and The Great Escape. And Midlife, of course. But it's okay, I haven't googled the links for the rest yet. :nice:

I'm fine with now, it's 11:09pm. I'm tired though, and not in a really good mood. Eh, perhaps we should have a listening party for one of the Blur albums, at that listening party thread in The Lounge. :wacko:

[eff-exx]

OMG SCREW THESE DOUBLE POSTS.

[Lizzybear]

YES! LISTENING PARTY!
:dance:

What albums do you girls have? We can do any of them, I don't care...

[Ms Magpie]

I have the LPs but not the B-sides or Midlife. I think it's a bit too late for Ly now so maybe we could do it tomorrow?

[Lizzybear]

Aww I always forget her time zone... :disappointed: I doubt I'll be up early enough to join you all tom. (tom. is a holiday and I'm sleeping innnnn) then if you have it before now... :P feel free to still do it though.

[Ms Magpie]

Then we could have one tonight and one tomorrow :sneaky:

[Lizzybear]

Fine by me :sneaky:
What do you want to listen to?

I think some of your girls saw this on tumblr... I'm still laughing so hard :laugh3:
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l88wpgOSSh1qasaqoo1_500.jpg
wtf

[Ms Magpie]

Anything would do! Maybe Modern Life Is Rubbish? When do you have time? I shall watch some videos now and I'll probably finish in 2 hours if not earlier. :)

Oh god, that pic! :laugh3: They all look so, so wrong! Don't want to be mean, it's just that they all look scary. Innocently scary, maybe. :bigcry:

[Lizzybear]

It is scary!! Demon Dave possessed the rest of Blur :bigcry:




and i love this gif! :wacky:
http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l89zxjHCNl1qcz48ho1_500.gif

[Ms Magpie]

It's a cute gif. :nice:

Perfect! I'll be back on in one hour, so get ready. :D

[Ms Magpie]

:sneaky:

[*Perrine*]

Are you done with your listening party girls?

Fine by me :sneaky:

[CockleHocker]

What I wouldn't give to be rolling around with Damon :wink3:

[Lizzybear]

sdlkfdklfd SO BEAUTIFUL!


Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says lets take a drive to Primrose Hill
:heart:

[CockleHocker]

advert?

[bedofroses]

^ :laugh3: yea. this song always reminds me of the video to it, Damon rolling down the hill with that girl :lol:

[bedofroses]

food processors are great!

[Lizzybear]

What I wouldn't give to be rolling around with Damon :wink3:

RIGHT?! :sneaky:




ADVERT!



You need a holiday somewhere in the sun.
With all the people who are waiting.

[Ms Magpie]

Pressure On Julian! :o


I wouldn't mind rolling around with Damon. Or Alex. :mellow:

[bedofroses]

SAY SOMETHING
SAY SOMETHING
ELSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Lizzybear]

I think Pressure on Julian is my least fav. on this album :uhoh:



Swimming around in yellow pissy water...



EW.

[bedofroses]

Alex is your fav obviously Nina :lol:

[bedofroses]

Yea not a big fan of Pressure on Julian, not very memorable for me

[CockleHocker]

I really like Pressure on Julian. It's a killer to sing though!

[Ms Magpie]

It's not one of my faves either.

Starshaped is much better :nice:

[Lizzybear]

Star Shaped WOOT WOOT!

[Ms Magpie]

Oh and yes, Alex is DEFINITELY my fav. :mellow:

[bedofroses]

:lol:

Blue Jeans, it always makes me feel rather sad, but beauty of a song, too

[Lizzybear]

Blue Jeans is awesome!

Graham said it's his favorite Blur song :wacky:

[CockleHocker]

Chemical world wooohooo!

(It's very very very cheap)

[bedofroses]

Aww Graham! I never knew that :heart:

Chemical World and its sugary tea :D

[Ms Magpie]

It is a great song but also sad, yeah. It's awful to think you never want something to change. well, except for the good things that I don't see in this song.

:confused:

(Re: Blue Jeans)

[CockleHocker]

Aw I didn't know Graham had said that either! Interesting.

[Lizzybear]

He said so on his twitter LOLOL

Since we are on Chemical World...

http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af354/lizzylovesblur/Damon/qnpdz9.gif

[CockleHocker]

Yes yes yes :D

[Ms Magpie]

Omg, just remembered - I'm getting a signed copy of MLIR in 10 days :awesome:

[Lizzybear]

Crazy Intermission
time!
http://img.guba.com/public/video/1/01/3000037696m.jpg

[bedofroses]

That will be something to cherish :nice: Where will you store/put it?

I seem to be ahead on Oily Water now :lol: when I first heard this song I couldnt compare it to Blur and their 'sound', it just doesnt fit in somehow, don't get me wrong, love the song too

[CockleHocker]

I'm on Oily Water too

[Ms Magpie]

LOVE those screencaps! :wideeyed:

I'll probably place it on top of my cd stack OR put that and The Eraser on a visible spot in my room. They deserve some more attention than they're currently getting!

Oily Water is a nice song, but sadly I don't have a special opinion on it. :\

[Lizzybear]

Sunday Sunday needed some love guyyyys.

[bedofroses]

At the beginning with the combination of Damon's silly dancing as he comes out of the caravan and Alex using that bizarre exercise thingy, just, proves the excellence of that video :lol:

[Ms Magpie]

I swear I'll watch all the videos tomorrow. Or someday soon. I wish there was a DVD.

[Ms Magpie]

Ahh gotta go now. Sorry guys.

Nighty night!

[CockleHocker]

aw, ok night!

[bedofroses]

night Nina :)

[CockleHocker]

I'm on Turn it up now.
I'm listening to this on youtube by-the-way (I don't have this album yet), and when I was listening to Sunday Sunday I watched the video and one of the highest-rated comments had 20 thumbs up and it said "I'd go gay for Damon Albarn". It made me giggle. Thought you guys would like it!

[Lizzybear]

Well that was fun! We should do Parklife next time :wacky:

[*Perrine*]

Woopsie someone missed the party :uhoh:

[Ms Magpie]

There's a DVD??? :wideeyed: Once I find an HMV they'll have nothing left in the store. :sneaky:

Hope you guys enjoyed the listening party and sorry you missed it, Perrine. :(

[*Perrine*]

Tell me when the next one is :hug:

[loudefix]

Hello there!,
It's been a while. I had some computer problems after the temporary closure of the forum. It's good to be back!
I haven't had time to read all these pages, there are so many. And I missed the listening party :(.
Eglanitine, could you repost the interview that I had to translate because I am unable to see your original message and I don't have the last few sentences. :nice:

[Ms Magpie]

Aww does you computer work okay now?
I'll repost it as soon as I get my computer back, which should be tomorrow.

:nice:

:lol: Haha!
Yea, musicians such as Damon probably have male fans that would say that about them just because they admire them and their music so much. But as well, Damon is nice to just look at to get a comment like that :laugh3:

LULZ it's so funny cus there are a few gay/ bi guys on tumblr who fangirl right along with us on Blur members :lol: So awesome!

[Ms Magpie]

Tried to play The Debt Collector on recorder today but I suck so so much. D:

[eff-exx]

:surprised:

I should bring up this topic then. What Blur songs have y'all covered (any instruments)?

[*Perrine*]

I wish I could play guitar or piano :disappointed:

[Lizzybear]

Wow, I heard Blur songs are really hard to play actually. Especially some of Graham's guitar parts, I bet they are!!


Guys, I've actually been thinking of buying a :uhoh: melodica :uhoh2:

[*Perrine*]

Ooh what is this? :surprised:

[Ms Magpie]

I tried to play the notes of The Debt Collector, To The End, Bad Head and Tender on the recorder and I gloriously failed :wacky:

[*Perrine*]

I wanna hear that Nina! Can't be worse than me tho :P
