After watching the Oscars this morning on live TV, and seeing the montage of dead persons in Hollywood, I got to say, I’m surprised.
I now know that Dennis Hopper and Pete Postlethwaite passed away. That’s really something - when did they die? It wasn’t like all over the front page of the news, or even the “entertainment” section.
Pete Postlethwaite is possibly the...

It’s Friday night, and the Blur world has been quite quiet. Nothing much really happened this week in terms of music. A couple of disappointing award shows where we didn’t win anything, and a nice little NME article with Graham and Damon in it.
So…now it’s time for another BLURBLOG CAPTION CONTEST!

After stumbling on the Gorillaz Unofficial forum and reading some posts, I came across a thread that is about Phish frontman Trey Anastasio covers Clint Eastwood from Gorillaz in his concert. Phish’ingNot knowing anything about Phish, I did a little search and found out that:

Blur and Gorillaz LOST GRAMMY AWARDS →
I‘m watching the Grammy Awards Clive Davis Party live online. Still a day before the real awards. Both Blur and Gorillaz were nominated this year, and it’s the FIRST TIME Blur’s ever received a Grammy Award. Ironic isn’t it, how it’s been years since they made any album and it’s still the first time ever that they got nominated.

Gorillaz to split ? →
Blur bassist turned country squire Alex James once confessed that in the heady days of Britpop he had spent £1m on champagne in three years. He had no regrets, saying that “the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom”.
Guests at the festival he is planning to host on his Oxfordshire estate can expect a slightly less debauched affair, with the event set to focus on James’s new drug of choice...
