You know, writing that title it has struck me that there were once many Blur fans on sinister. Where have they gone? And were they as irritated as me at Blur starting The Best Of Blur with the same two tracks as 'Blur'? Not only are the 2 tracks the same, and in the same order, but both LPs have 'Blur' in the title, as well as in the, the, you know, the band name!! It was just too much: I mean, not enough. Also, that woeful track called 'Music Is My Black Box Radish', etc - oh, woeful. When did Blur last do something really good? I have to go out on a broken limb and suggest: 'The Universal'. And even that's pushing it, to some ears. The geezer Miller talked about Hurst. It's all over now. I admire Miller for being able to talk so much about such boring stuff, and hear 69 Love Songs and think it dreadful. I *admire* that kind of fortitude, as I have said before. I mean it. I have been commissioned to work on the soundtrack to the following scene from a hip old movie. This is just a taster, you understand. There's lots more in this vein, plenty more; but I thought this might be more than enough for you. I am thinking of sticking a Go-Betweens track in the background. Probably 'Dive For Your Memory', possibly rerecorded with rhythm guitar by Alasdair Cook 96. What d'you reckon? ------------------ STUART (laughing, sort of) Oh, Joy! JOY Oh, but you know how it is.
