Lisa a écrit :Think Tank reste un bon album même sans Graham, avec de très bonnes chansons (Caravan, Good song, On the way to the club, Battery in your leg). C'est dommage qu'il soit parti mais si il se sent mieux comme ca, ca le regarde... Après, il se fout un peu de notre gueule quand même en disant que blur c'était plus un truc de petit garçon... il peut pas dire ca en y étant resté plus de dix ans...
Damon nous a prouvé qu'il était capable de composer de bonnes chansons, avec ou sans graham, alors ne doutons pas du prochain album de blur, espérons seulement qu'il sortira un jour (bientôt)...

i wioll wheeel out the speech once more...

..i demand no respect from blur fans...i never have done...why should i? most of those on the blur board are good people but some pretty much represent what made life within blur so very difficult and in the end impossible....among a few there seeems to be absolutely no regard for the feeelings of any member of the band....they dont seeem to regard them even as human beings...but more as people to make demands on...people who owe them something....musicians are not here at the whim of a fan...they dont make music firstly for the fan....the musician owes the fan nothing...but the musician gives the fan everything of himself....i gave everything of myself to blur and to their fans....then one day i couldnt anymore....and i am sorry..but there came into my life more important things to worry about...i did what any other human being would do..i put myself and my child first......and i am shocked that i have to wonder just how that can be soo misunderstood among blur fans...i am very sorry blur fans..but you dont come first! putting you first nearly killed me...either way blur would have become three instead of four....this way i am still alive to be a father, and a damn good one tooo, and make music when iii want to. as far as i am concerned i did the right thing....the alternatives just dont bear thinking about.

the rabbi, believe it or not was a rabbi....a jewish man...a mediator if you will.... he wasnt stephen streeet as was mentioned on blur board...blooody hell....it seems to be such a mess in the head for you lot that you cant accept simple words and read them as completely different ones...its all very simple really..

Graham didnt turn up to the studio this week, despite telling the Rabbi he would. Times have changed. Dave got the Rabbi involved to smooth things out with Graham and the three of us. The Rabbi got us all together and found love in the room.

Donc maintenant quand je lis ça sérieusement, ça me fait encore plus peur...

And there's a punky Blur album in the pipeline, but don't hold your breath.
"I've done a few tracks this year, a might do a few more. A few a year."

"I was meant to go to the dentist today but I had a nice weekend with a gap. My daughter's teeth are coming out at the moment so I've gone out in solidarity."

Blur to make 'dirty, nasty, filthy' new album

Alex James confirms the band's return

Blur bassist Alex James has confirmed the band have regrouped - to write a "dirty, nasty, filthy" new album.

The bassist told XFM that despite singer Damon Albarn's recent massive success with Gorillaz, he's found time to regroup his old band to make their first LP since 2003's 'Think Tank'.

James said: "We all got together before Christmas. Damon, Dave (Rowntree, drummer) and I and were making the most nasty, dirty, filthy rock music I think we've ever made...it was great."

He added: "And then Damon's been making his records, I've been busy with (new band) Wigwam and Dave's got this multi-media empire going on, but I think there's plans to reconvene really soon, I think probably towards the end of the year."

James reckons that the noisy, aggressive music they've been working on may well set the tone for the whole new album.

He confirmed: "It seems to be going like that. I mean, you never know what a record's gonna sound like till you've finished recording it, but it was sounding that way.

"Foo Fighters are gonna wet their pants when they hear it."

Ce qui est bizzare, c'est ces rumeurs de gig pour le fan club avant Noel, ces insistances sur le fait qu'ils vont sortir quelque chose, et puis plus rien...

C'est reparti pour un Blur
Le groupe de pop anglaise se reforme pour le réalisation d'un nouvel album, défini comme "très puissant".Les membres de Blur se regroupent pour réaliser un nouvel album. Le bassiste du groupe, Alex James en dit plus à ce propos : "nous nous sommes tous réunis à Noël. Damon (Alban), Dave (Rowntree) et moi, avons, à ce moment là fait un rock puissant, sale et dégoûtant, comme nous ne l'avions jamais fait. C'était génial (...). Les Foo Fighters vont mouiller leur pantalon quand ils vont entendre ce son". Le ton de l'album est donc d'ores et déjà donné. Le groupe compte se mettre au travail dès le mois de mai.

Depuis leur dernier album, "Think tank", en 2003, les membres de Blur n'ont pas chômé. Damon Albarn a participé aux projets du groupe Gorillaz ; Alex James, Wigwam et Dave Rowntree ont eux aussi continué dans la musique. Beaucoup de projets sont en cours, parmi lesquels ce nouvel opus, et selon les dires d'Alex James : "des projets se réaliseront très bientôt, certainement avant la fin de l'année".

Perso j'ai d'autres infos : rien de prévu pour blur mais un nouvel album solo pour Damon, avec un super batteur et un super guitariste...
