Just watching Blur playing at the Glastonbury festival and it just occured to me that it was almost 10 years ago that I saw them play at the Brighton Centre in December 1999. That was my first year at Uni and they were playing their ?Singles Tour? where they played every one of their 23 [...]

A good song to play loud this weekend?.

I saw this on the TV this morning whilst I was eating my cereal and thought I?d pop it up here. I was just wondering what dates we had to look forward to? The millennium is a pretty special date, and of course it doesn?t really mean anything but it was a nice round date [...]
