“‘Midlife : A Beginner’s Guide To Blur’ is the first collection from the band to span every studio album and offers a complete look on Blur’s career - from the post-Seymour beginnings to the magnificent Think Tank, every stop on the journey is here, including the single Popscene which is making its first appearance on a Blur album.” —

From Parklife to Midlife.. a beginner’s guide to Blur, indeed. This looks very comprehensive and interesting.

And at least they’ve come up with a better title than the former Best Of. As a matter of fact, I just realised today how extremely silly it is for musicians to have several releases in the Best Of family. Best Of will usually be followed by a More Best Of or The Very Best Of. Some will then proceed to Best Of 2 or to the slightly more original (but still boring) likes of Essential or Ultimate. Best not take the Greatest Hits discussion today.

Tracklistings for Midlife can be found here.

All hail..

The lovely Cortney Tidwell. The new album, Boys, is wonderful. Perfect mix between singer-songwriter and electronic beats.
