HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRAHAM COXON
March 11, 2011
Aped out?
I did another impression sketch... I don't know what's up with me these days! I'm feeling quite creative with the computer! Perhaps it's the Blur news that just keeps coming that's kicking me off?
I'm "Aped"!
Graham Coxon to play for Summer Sundae Festival
The first acts have been announced for this year’s Summer Sundae Weekender.
The Maccabees, Graham Coxon and Newton Faulkner are among the first few artists to be confirmed for the August event. Summer Sundae Weekend 2011 will take place at De Montfort Hall and Gardens in Leicester on 11th – 14th August.
Other acts announced for the festival include The Bees, The Cuban Brothers, Wilko Johnson and John Cooper Clarke.
Following the success of their 2009 Top 20 album ‘Wall of Arms’, London rockers The Maccabees should prove to be a popular headliner at this year’s festival.
With a third album expected soon, their set will almost certainly feature some new material. After his brief return to Blur, Graham Coxon is reviving his solo project for this year’s Summer Sundae.

Hmm, wonder if Graham will play some new tracks off his new album? Are you guys going to go ? Leave a comment below!

Spur of the moment drawing
I had this little burst of creativity and decided to draw the Blur boys using an online paint software....
A new Blur album "in progress" ?
Hooligan from the Blur Forums sends news that:
"I was out drinking with a friend who was accompanied by someone who was intimately involved in the making of NDLTR. We were talking about Fool's Day & its relative merits & he let slip that 'it doesn't sound like anything on the new album.' Obviously we pounced on him for more info to which he furiously back-pedalled but the cat was out the bag. So there is a new album on the way, people. Rejoice."
The other forumers and myself included reacted accordingly.
As damon4president puts it, now all we need is for Alex to say something along the lines of, oh, I dunno, 'it was like putting the A Team back together for one last job. We had to bust Rowntree out of law school' for me to consider it confirmed...
Plus, the Summersonic lineup of 2011 features a special secret guest. Could it be Blur ? Would Blur play a few songs at this year's music festival?
Exciting times! I'm impatient and thirsty for more solid news. How about you ?

Oops
Sorry guys, I didn't post anything in the past few days because I was buried under this.

You got that right - it's a huge mountain of laundry on my bed. I promise to update as soon as I get rid of the pile, and the Tort Law essay I got to hand in tomorrow.
Nothing exciting has been happening in the Blur-sphere anyways!

Gorillaz news - The Fall to be released in physical CD
Several online retailers, including Amazon.co.uk here and Amazon.com here are now listing a release of The Fall on CD, due out 18th April in the UK, on Parlophone, and 19th April in the USA, on Virgin Records.
No news on the track listing or any packaging details yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
Rumors of a vinyl record being released to coincide with Record Store Day is also hot on the news. More on this as more news are out!
Speaking of which, I still haven't completed my The Fall review (BlurBalls style!)... Will do, I promise. Keep reading!
Would you buy The Fall when it's out?
