Graham Coxon

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Can't believe that Blur have "sacked" their guitarist Graham Coxon, Britain's most talented guitarist since Johnny Marr.

 

Graham Coxon is Blur. What are they thinking of??

 

Has anyone else got Coxon's first solo album, "The Sky Is Too High", by the way. It's excellent.

[Webbo MFI]

nope

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Trying to "up" your number of posts again then, Webbo!?

[R Zimmerman]

It didn't get a good review today in NME, but you can't believe everything you read, as I thought it was quite good.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Why was it reviewed in today's NME?? This album is 4 years old.

[R Zimmerman]

His new album!!! I don't know what is called (heard some on the radio) and I havn't got that copy of NME, was reading someone else's copy.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Oh right. Yeah, it's out next week I think. The new one is actually his fourth solo album. The first one, as I said previously, is superb. It's as good as a lot of the Blur stuff.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Well bolox to the NME, they always slag off Carter these days after kissing their [****!!****] in the early 90's!

[Chubbhead EFM]

I've only ever heard one Graham Coxon song,I can't remember the name but the lyrics went ' that's when I reach for my revolver' and it was excellent. I do believe it was a cover. I'm loving my media studies A-level at the moment. We're studying the music industry and I get to talk about music ALL DAY!

[Webbo MFI]

and I love you.......all!

If you want any tips on the media, then ask your friendly TV and radio presenter supporter!

I also did media studies!

And me and Colin Zeal know our music!

Basically shall we just do your exams for you, our fee is 25% of the coffee shop money <img src="/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[Chubbhead EFM]

haha-cool! <img src="/forums/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Well at the moment I have to do a mini-presentation on Irish music cos we're studying genre. My mum's Irish but she doesn't seem to know much. Know anything on the history of it?

Graham Coxon likes the Cardiacs so he's a top bloke

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Well unlike being an Irish footballer, Irish bands do come from Ireland!

The obvious ones are U2 and the Coors and the Pouges and so-forth, but if you want to really want to dazzle your tutor I'll supply you with some details of bands like Frank & Walters and The Sultans of ping, who were part of the thriving indie scene in the early 90's.

Let me know!

 

Although I don't know too much about the actual genre, just fiddles and so-forth, drinking songs

You forgot a couple of great guitarists from Sarf London, John Squire knew how to belt out a rift as well

[Colin Zeal EFM]

John Squire is a good guitarist, but somewhat one-dimentional - certainly not in the same league as Coxon/Marr.

 

I'll ignore the bit about Carter.

[Chubbhead EFM]

EFM,The Firm The Voice- I'm planning on doing a sort of 'irish music through the ages'-type thing so any info you have on modern Irish bands like the ones you mentioned would be helpful. I've got the Pogues greatest hits and there's info on them on the sleeve notes so don't bother with them. Know anything about the Saw Doctors, The Dubliners or The Chieftains (think I spelt that right!)?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'll get you some info on the Saw Doctors, Dubliners and Chieftains if you like. Do you want me to send it as a PM??

[Guest]

Them are a cool irish band, van Morrison was in it. Here comes the night is amazing.

what no Undertones!!! or Stiff Little Fingers
