Woo-hoo! Blur have announced they are set to play a gig at Hyde Park (life) next year!

For some, listening to Blur might take you back to the days of uni(versal), the days of coffee and TV, or like me, back to the tender days of school, caught between the popscene and indie scene and thinking there was no other way. Looking back at our best days, when all us boys and girls at lunch time, eating caramel and having no distance left to run as the playground was so small and not big enough for a good game of British Bulldog. We were crazy sixth formers... and Dan Abnormal was always best at that game, bless him. Ahhh, those were the days when I had no idea what a rock&roll stereotype Alex James (now a cheese fanatic and Independent columnist)actually was. Twas only until recently when I engaged in his insightful autobiography.
