BLUR REUNION ANNOUNCEMENT ANNIVERSARY!!
the blur reunion was announced dec. 9, 2008.
so let's reminisce on the ~~*summer of love*~~
SO, let's start from the beginning!
remember the monkey premiere??
and then...right, i don't remember if the official annoucment came first or graham's forum post, but let's revist graham's post, shall we??
some things can keep us ‘safe’ in hideous resentment for years…grudges are very dangerous….to be honest..my feelings about jamie werent relevant at the time of the “split”.
i have plunged headlong into self destruction as reaction to others doing what i have done many times- falling in love.
it is a pathetic resentment…and after so many years of what can almost be considered (…having to make a few journies alone…) a coma of sorts all that we thought stuck to us, keeping us apart just fell away in seconds of seeing each other and a lightness replaced it all see…terrific relief….the festering and paranoid conjecture….the inferiority complexes..the double guessing…all seem such a waste of time…what the press called falling out and friction…. there was no friction…we never saw each other for there to be friction….that rubbing together and causing of heat/irritation……there came a time where we had to travel the path without each other’s support. if it hadnt happened in 2001/2 it would have happened later. it was painful enough to realise we had forgotten how to look after each other….without those in the media telling us it was actually alot worse than it was!
its heavy….its a life regained…not just 4 friends but all those surrounding the friends..the surrogate family, the real family…the extended family, the tree…its many!!! not just 4.
awww.
and then there was THIS:
and then there was collective freaking out (see star_shaped, plz)
and interviews happened!
and then damon and graham at the nme awards!
awwwwww. altho, in retrospect, the organ wasn't a good idea. BUT WHATEVER, THIS IS A AWWW/YAYYYY BLUR POST!
oh, and their interview together afterwards!
graham tries to eat his redbull, precious. damon doesn't look so good, BUT IT'S OKAYYY. it's gramon!
and now let's fast-forward to the first rehearsal video!
i think it was "song 2." and it was lulzy and hilarious and damon wore a pink minnie mouse tee-shirt:
and then there was "sunday sunday" where alex talked about pulling "rock faces" and where graham was a rock god and damon was a maniac
and i'm throwing "mellow song" here because 1. melodica, and 2. alex looks 20. WTFFFF.
fast-forward some more...
MOJO AWARDS GUYZZZ
damon calling alex out on being a media-whore!! gramon love!!
oh shit, and hugging and nuzzling occurs during all of this
oh and nuzzling+cheryl
umm, ALEX GOT FIT
and we discovered this picture and felt sad, yet aww'd
getty wasn't a bitch and let us take the watermarks off pictures like this:
graham ate oysters and almost died (JK JK). well, he almost killed people at the last gig who had to listen to snow patrol for about two hours, due to blur's delay.
completely necessary picture
OH AND HOLY SHIT and alex bust dave out of law school.
this gif explains the entire reunion:
OMG ECCLES CAKES. I FORGOT.
edit:
LOL I FORGET TO PUT ANY LIVE VIDEOS WTF IS WRONG WITH ME
first song from the first gig ever, "she's so high" at colchester
one of my personal favorites (look at graham go go go), "charmless man" at colchester
"trimm trabb" at wolverhampton: so insanely epic
"beetlebum" at glasto: EPIC
Blur - Beetlebum - Glastonbury [2009] [HD] from pezdemonio on Vimeo.
"tender" at glasto: so fucking good, the audience is brilliant here
Blur - Tender (Glastonbury '09) from Manny on Vimeo.
"the universal" at southend. my favorite performance of the song during the whole reunion.
