Well that was quick… No new album? No shows in North America? Too bad, I would have liked to hear some new music from Blur. Read more on the apparent re-breakup from Graham Coxon via Ultimate-Guitar.com:
According to Nme.com, Graham Coxon has stated that Blur has no future plans to play together or act as a band following this year.
The quintet reunited earlier this year to play a collection of festivals and shows. In a video interview with Nme, Coxon stated they have nothing in store for the future.
“We’re in touch and we say ‘Wotcha’ and all that but nothing has been mentioned about any more shows or anything else,” he explained.
“Everyone’s slipped back into what they do when the Blur creature isn’t heaving around. Law and cheese and music, I suppose.”
Aside from Blur, Coxon does plan to go ahead with a solo career. The guitarist will play a handful of gigs under the name The Graham Coxon Power Acoustic Ensemble.

“Its not something that I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that i go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but i consider myself a female,” she reportedly wrote in a blog back in December 2008.
“I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I’m sexy, I’m hot.”
Lady Gaga raised eyebrows during the Glastonbury festival in England when the footage of her was shot and has since hit YouTube.
But Lady Gaga’s manager has told media outlets including ABCnews.com that the rumours of her being a hermaphrodite were “ridiculous.”

30 seconds… 30 million… seems like an appropriate number! Virgin records are not happy with Jared Leto and his band saying they failed to deliver on their agreed upon contract of 3 albums. Read more from CNN:
Hardcore fans of 30 Seconds to Mars aren’t the only ones who want more of the band’s music. Virgin Records has sued the group for $30 million, saying it has failed to deliver.
Virgin Records sued the band and front man Jared Leto in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming they refused to deliver three albums as required by its contract.
The band’s last album, “A Beautiful Lie,” was released in 2005.
A publicist for Leto, an actor who starred in the film “Requiem for a Dream” and the TV show “My So-Called Life,” did not return a message Friday.
According to the lawsuit, the band “repudiated” a 1999 contract in July.
Despite the absence of a new album, the band’s hit “From Yesterday” was deemed one of 2007’s Top 10 “Hot Modern Rock Songs” by Billboard magazine.
Some people are born into money, some luck into it, and then there’s Miley Cyrus. According to the new issue of People magazine, the “Hannah Montana” star - who recently was the subject of a racy-photo scandal - is on track to rack up $1 billion in “Montana”-related sales during the 2007-08 fiscal year, putting her at the top of the heap of teen superstars earning adult-style wages.
