As you may have heard, Blur will be playing at London's Hyde Park next year. No more dates have been announced yet, and at the moment, there are no plans for new material to be released.

Toazted and Dave Rowntree met up for an interview back in 2000. Dave, who just flown himself in, in his own plain talks about schoolgirls, the press and meeting Madonna:

"Madonna came down to the studio, she came swanning in and she learned an English swear word...wanker."

Audio interview with Blur taken from the AVRO archives. It was recorded in 1996 during the band's tour for The Great Escape. They talk about their new video and the movie Trainspotting.

In the second part of the interview they talk about being famous and playing live and booze.

In the last part of the interview they talk about their succes and how succesful they like to be. Then they go on to talk about underground music.
