It could be a right old conundrum if Blur ever want to release any new material.

I’m not a fan of demo versions/live recordings/too many remixes tbh - I still think a b-side/EP tracklisting can be an artform and MSP mastered that art in the past. Seeing the ‘bonus material’ on the album is again ‘demo versions’ made my heart sink a little; demos are the sketchbook, the trial runs, the practise laps. Lined up next to the fully arranged, realised & produced album versions, I don’t get what value they bring. When it comes to a new album, I care about the product but not so much the process. That said, I still ordered the Ltd Edition ‘book’ CD of the new album; though mostly because my corresponding’book’ copy of ‘Journal’ needs company on the bookshelf.

According to that website, they've played it twice, on the 14th and the 17th. And looking at the times it was Lauren Laverne and Shaun Keaveny. Tumbleweeds since then.

Didn't International Blue only get B or C listed?
Oh, this is going to really do something now. More confident (knew the record is going to be good) that even if it gets a response of "Ugh. Old Manics", it's being given the maximum priority to regular radio listeners who probably only bought reduced to £3 FD. If bought any albums at all. |

I also know someone who gave up on the Manics in the 90s, but has somehow really got into Orwellian and is looking forward to the album.

Interesting stuff about perspectives on singles. I think some people might not be aware how lucky we are to have been getting physical singles right up to 2010 and digital singles with b-sides (+ a remix 12") since then. The singles market plummeted around 2006-2007. Other than a couple of oddities - Pet Shop Boys being a notable example - the format simply doesn't exist any more, unless you're a pop artist getting dance mixes, or a band on a small DIY label who do 7"s. If a track gets a music video, it's absolutely a single. If it gets a standalone release on streaming services, it's a single. If it gets pushed to radio, it's a single. That's about as far as it goes now.

What is the art at the end of the video? And where's that lattice face? (apols if answered)
