An artistic and abstract representation that captures the essence of the band Blur, incorporating iconic symbols and references from their music.

Dear readers,

Wow, what a journey it's been since Blurballs' "Country House" opened its doors in early 2010! Like a Magic Whip, time has flown, and here we are, more than a decade later in 2024, still buzzing with the the latest updated posts about Blur and the gang.

You've been there through the highs, the lows, and the Beetlebum moments, always ready to Tender your insights and share your Girls & Boys enthusiasm. It’s been an End of a Century kind of adventure, but instead of fading into the 1992 blur, we’ve danced through the years with Damon's melodies and Graham's riffs echoing in our hearts.

Your support has been as steady as the beat in Parklife, as vibrant as the chorus in Charmless Man. Every comment, every like, every shared post has been a Blur of activity, making our blog a true Great Escape for fans. You've turned our little corner of the internet into a bustling Bank Holiday, a festival of Blur's charm.

Together, we've traversed this Modern Life Is Rubbish world, turning each day into a celebration of Blur's music. From the melancholic strains of No Distance Left to Run to the energetic beats of Go Out, we've covered it all, with a bit of Gorillaz's feel-good incense thrown in.

As we Stand on the Horizon of more Blur-filled days, let's raise our Coffee & TVs to the memories we've shared and to the ones still to come. You're not just readers; you're our Band Mates in this Blur journey.

Here’s to more Song 2 yells, more Beetlebum whispers, and more days under the Westway.

Thank you for making Blurballs a Stereotype-busting, Charmless-Man-defying, Parklife-celebrating haven.

To the End and beyond,

Writers of Blurballs

BlurBalls mentioned on BBC Radio 6

On February 24th 2012, BBC Radio 6 hosted a two-hour long Blur radio show, featuring a playlist created by fans, for fans. Previously, we posted exclusively on this little event here asking you fans to submit your favourite Blur related tracks. 

The show was excellent and truly enjoyable - rarities like the beautiful b-side "Young and Lovely" and the French version of "To The End" were played, amongst many others. Damon Albarn's Fatboy Slim collaboration track "Put it Back together" was also a pleasant surprise. A Gorillaz track was also played. 

Alex James, bassist, also surprised all fans and tuned into the show. He made a special request via twitter for Blur's b-side "Supa Shoppa", a non-vocal track. His tweet was:  

Alex James ‏ @TheAlexJames 



@BBC6Music @BlurOfficial Been putting the kids to bed. You gonna play Supashoppa or what ? Xxxxx


Other highlights included a The Cardiacs song, a funky remix of Tender, An XTC track was also played; XTC's Andy Partridge was originally set to produce Modern Life is Rubbish in it's initial stages. 

BlurBalls sent in a request for the track "You're so Great" from the album Blur. We were ecstatic when they chose to play our track, and even gave a shout out to all our readers (yes, you!) and the Blur fans out there! 

Listen below to the extract.
