New single only reaching number 10...no radio airplay in my corner of the
planet. Has anyone heard any promotion for the album out on Monday? Ah yes,
the Later performance...tomorrow night is it?

So who's here then? I haven't posted for a bit...between working and trying
to get me my house sorted out and having a bad ISP it's all kept me pretty
net-less.

Spank anyone?

Or maybe not?

Ah well...time to water the tree some more :o)

'Music Is My Radar' isn't a very strong single IMO - it couldn't really be
expected to be a chart-topper. BTW, can anyone tell me how many UK #1s have
Blur have had (just out of interest)?

Blur are also performing on TOTP this Friday.

Yep, that's right.

*Checks Guinness British Hit Singles to be sure*

Country House 26 Aug 95
Beetlebum 1 Feb 97

It states in the book that Blur are "the prime movers of Britpop". Woo hoo!!

I don't really listen to the radio so I wouldn't know. But I haven't seen
the video on MTV or The Box yet. I haven't heard any promotion for the album
either. Boo I say!! :o(

I'm here!!! :o) :o) I've been doing a lot of decorating so that's why I've
been quiet.

> Spank anyone?

Oh, go on then!! ;o)

No, please!

They were on TOTP this evening, performing 'Music Is My Radar' and 'Girls
And Boys' (I think 'Girls And Boys' is in place of Limp Bizkit's 'My
Generation' which is shown on the late night TOTP).

Yeah, but what about all last week when the record came out. They should
have been out there, in our faces promoting the song. :o)
