Blur release “Fools Day” as a Free Legal .Mp3 + .Wav download: Fools Day Video

I posted a week or so ago about Blur releasing a single, “Fools Day“, online with just 1000 copies on Vinyl 7″ only. This is their first single for like 8 years and it’s quite landmark in itself.

Anyway, the band have sensibly made a decision to release it online and for free, and more than likely as 1000 copies were not enough for Europe, let alone America.

This is to halt bad vinyl copies [read piracy] floating around on the net. You can get it in MP3 format or .Wav which is impressive! Thanks boys!

Here’s the video for the single!

Blur release new single to support indie music stores

Blur who’ve not released any singles for 7 years later are going to be selling a very, very limited vinyl later this month. There’s just  1,000 copies. Looks like Lily Allen is doing the same for the UK’s Record Store Day, April 17th!

“We want independent record stores to continue, they’re an important part of our musical culture,” said Blur frontman Damon Albarn. “Music is a simple way for Blur to show our support and we hope people like it.”

Nice one guys! I guess as it’s very limited, there’s no plans to get it as a digital copy from indie shops with a website [as opposed to itunes etc]. Oh well, so back to the torrents people go!
