NSR: Oh. My. Sh*t. Blur to Reunite for 09 Shows
Colchester in the area! That's Damon Albarn himself confirming that one of the pillars of the 'Cool Britannia' era is finally burying the bullsh*t to reunite for live gigs next summer. Blur are set to play a massive show in London's Hyde Park this summer to the delight of waifish models, 90's glory-seekers, scooter enthusiasts, Anglophiles and actual British people alike. And then there's me.
When I used to DJ a short-lived Britpop™ night in college (at The Curtain Club in Deep Ellum, Dallas) there were 5 songs that were fail-proof to get every girl with a bobbed haircut and an A-line dress and all of the dude's wearing Ben Sherman shirts under their anorak's --which were wholly unnecessarily even in the dead of a Texas winter-- out on the dance floor. 2 out of the 5 were from Blur; 'Girls and Boys' and the original baggy banger, 'There's No Other Way'.

I miss old Deep Ellum...Just not the same anymore.
Yes! Blur is returning!
If they are in the States, I will be there.
thanks for the info, SF.
So, SF, what were the other three Britpop dancefloor guarantees?!?
^^^
The other 3 were Pulp's 'Common People', The Charlatans 'The Only One I Know' and The Stone Roses 'Fools Gold'. Lord knows what what happen if I played them all back to back.
Dude, where in Deep Ellum did you DJ? I pulled down some serious hours at Thin Room, Art Bar, The Bone, and several others I can't remember too well.
Deep Ellum is still alive, its just on Lower Greenville now...
Curtain Club and on the roof at Art Bar. Good times at Art Bar; when the weather was nice that roof was rocking.
Art Bar...wow. Was there NYE 1999. Fell off the outdoor stage. Mugged down with several randoms. I spent a couple years chasing SMU Tri-Delts in Deep Ellum. Memories....
