Thanks!

Thanks!

What happened? Nothing. We did what we did then went home.

A bit like what you might say after splitting up from your bf/gf and not wanting to hurt his/her feelings when speaking to others about it, eh?

Hmm, that article gets off to a very bad start by maligning the Soup Dragons, whose early work was wondrous, even if their latter work wasn't. First few Soup Dragons singles share more than a little similarity with ramshackle early Blur, to my mind.

i love how across the review and that mini interview there are 2 seperate mentions of how great Seven Days is and queries to why it was binned!
i always thought it was better than almost anything else pre-MLIR, baffling as to why it was never finished.

Hmm, I don't like this review, the author makes some very strange and skewed assertions; its only redeeming feature is the 5 star rating...

"waving the flag of diversity and oddness" :lol:

somehow i like that statement so very much.

by **MrMagpie** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:23 pm

It's not a review so much as a condensed band history. Odd title choice, too...yeah, it was a working title for TGE but since then it's usually used to chronicle dark periods in their history (hell, I used it for a chapter in my book), not a joyous occasion/release like this

Yeah... and what of, 'they effectively ended in 2000'? Erm, no - my opinion of Think Tank aside - they made and toured an album three years after that...

Am i the only person who has noticed that Blur 21, according to this, is on Universal Records?

I think that's a mistake. I know Universal are currently bidding to buy EMI's recorded catalogue and the two companies will possibly be merging, but Blur are definitely still Parlophone/EMI artists.
