Another music reunion is on the cards. This time it’s Blur who might be hoping to rekindle some of that lost magic. Uber-geek and the coolest member of the band, Graham Coxon left Blur in 2002 and pursued a moderately successful solo career. Blur were never the same without their main guitarist, and Damon Albarn continued focusing on weird tribal music that nobody could really understand.
Well, Damon, Graham, and the other two blokes from Blur sat down for lunch October 1 for the first time in five years. The foursome met to discuss a possible reunion.
Don’t get your hopes up just yet though, because the band announced on their official website that the music won’t arrive for a long time yet. There aren’t actually any plans for Blur to record any new material or play live together again – yet.
Together since 1989, a Blur reunion would be kind of cool, but it’s certainly not the most exciting prospect to look forward to in the next few years. Does the world really need Blur to get back together?
Damon Albarn’s side projects have always been interesting, if a little strange. The only one we liked was his Gorillaz outfit, although the concept of that lost its shine some time ago. We’ll have to wait and see if the Blur guys can still make decent music.
Despite being the most annoying band on earth, one of the Klaxons has managed to get himself engaged to a hot chick. Simon Taylor, whose picture alone is enough to make you want to pull your hair out, is due to get married to CSS-lady Lovefoxxx (probably not her real name). She’s a beautiful girl and now she’s going to have to wake up next to that oaf every day. Is there no justice in the world?
They met this year on the Shockwaves NME Awards Indie Rave Tour (what the hell is Indie Rave?) and fell in love. It’s being dubbed by NME (those bastions of made-up genres and rubbish journalism) as a “new-rave wedding”. That’s one for the kids (literally) there.
CSS-drummer Adriano Cintra said, “They’re the happiest couple of MySpace. They’re gonna get married, it’s not a rumour. They’re gonna have baby CSS-Klaxons, it’s gonna be beautiful.”
The less aid about Klaxons the better. They’ve been ruining British music for about a year already and they must be stopped. We like CSS though, but a marriage such as this one can only spawn evil things.
If you can’t afford tickets to the next Klaxons concert, you can make your own by taking a bag of cats and a set of crockery and throwing the whole lot down a flight of stairs. Sounds great, right?
