New Blur Beckons

This has been a real roller coaster of a day. I was seriously bummed about the announcement Christopher Owens was leaving Girls, but then I just heard two brand-new songs from Blur. The clouds have lifted. "Under the Westway" is an absolute stunner, and "The Puritan" is, at the bare minimum, above-average B-side material (although this is considered a double A-side). If you can wait, the 7" will be available in a month. If not, you can download now from iTunes for $2.49. Give the new material a listen below.
