Thrilling news from Jolly Olde England, Britpop fans: Blur is reuniting for a show in Hyde Park on July 3, 2009!

Though you may rightfully ask yourself, "Why are you telling me this? I live in Seattle," we all know what tends to happen with reunions — an ill-advised tour. Though there's no word on that, there is word that even Graham Coxon is on board, like some kind of Christmas miracle. This is the first time the entire lineup will be together on stage since 2000.

I believe there is a saying, something to the effect of "Every time Damon Albarn changes his mind about a Blur reunion, an angel gets its wings…." Let's hope everyone can keep their egos in check long enough to inspire them to eventually travel stateside.
