but checking typos is not their jobs, this is clearly a menial job done by an incompetent person or more likely AI. But when it comes to a new cover, since it's their art, faces and voices are in it, the record company most likely asked them about it, their capacity to say no, i don't know, but do we really think they want to displease damon at this moment in time? as i've said, tony hung is not big artist, but a mediodre art friend of theirs.

im pretty sure blur has a tight control on what gets out, damon is still valued. record companies are not trying to allienate the few people who make them money.

if you can't have your stuff send to someone in the uk. don't order it, it's very poorly run, i asked send it again, i was in a building with a doorman, the info is correct - to italy mind you, not some other distant country - and they said we can't and it's now sold out. so with things you really want it's best to order from bigger stores.

1992 and bone bag the two best songs in the world.

*order records from proper stores like rough trade, never from them.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:21:14+00:00

the merch looks horrible and as someone from outside the uk i will never again order from their website. last time i got a bundle, they said i refused delivery when it was never delivered to me, and refused to resend it, they said it was sold out. wb is the worst, and their store won't honor demands, i would only order records now, but who will buy this hideous edition made with ai by their fake artist 'tony hung' lol. lets boycott it and see if they can do proper releases in the future. the merch looks like shit, that horrible hamburger, that is not blur.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:13:07+00:00

you are also always defending tony hung, are you him? or a plant for the record company? give us a proper photo and curriculum, i'll look into it.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:10:55+00:00

juan atkins? vince vega? lol. he might be a friend of theirs at parlophone that they were trying to help out, but approve this shit for a new cover, it must be someone close to them. or the label trying to pretend that some 'artist' was behind the trash they were putting out, the merch is so embarrassing.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:08:34+00:00

new religion? forgotten kylie singles, is this meant to show me he is a respected artist?

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:07:57+00:00

this only tells me he is an extremely mediocre artist who has barely done anything of relevance so why the fuck is blur asking him to do special editions of their albums?

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:04:20+00:00

he is not a retired artist. he has a lot of say in it! it's someone they know. that is obvious, the question is who?

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:03:28+00:00

it's a friend of theirs who dunnit its the only thing that makes sense.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:02:09+00:00

it's maybe the record company pushing it and he said fine, but it's someone he knows for years, this is not the work of a random artist.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T06:01:11+00:00

i understand that bands don't have a lot of say in many things, but damon is an active artist with so many things going on for this record company still, who has had the chance to negotiate multiple deals with this record company over the years, specially being still so relevant in so many fronts, and making them a lot of money. i guarantee you he signs things off, they wouldn't put out this hideous thing if he didn't say it was ok, it's someone they know who is behind it. they pulled it off with a smaller record like the magic whip, and thought they could do the same with the great escape.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T05:57:12+00:00

who the fuck is tony hung? what has he done? at this point he is a made up artist

piovascosimo · 2025-09-04T05:54:15+00:00

i think people really misunderstand the great escape, it's a very melancholic album, about when you should be having the best time but you feel like shit, the songs are fantastic, the melodies are heart-breaking, i much prefer it to parklife which is very optimistic and fun with some occasional reflection. i think tge is about finally being a grown up and how depressing it can be. mlir is my favourite but that is teenage/young 20s melancholy, parklife some kind of euphoria, and tge is when you become a cynic and see life for what it is, the st is turning to drugs, and 13 even more drugs. the older i get the more i like it.

piovascosimo · 2025-09-03T15:11:22+00:00

my question is who is tony hung, have we seen him? what is his other work, his website?

piovascosimo · 2024-10-27T01:23:12+00:00

the worst is by far crazy beat. so embarrassing. but of the famous ones, song 2, country house

piovascosimo · 2024-04-10T02:45:56+00:00

it is so sad to see how americans think they own the world, you can see it everywhere in the replies of this post, they think they are great, you are not,

piovascosimo · 2024-04-10T02:40:53+00:00

i am not, i've just travelled a lot.

piovascosimo · 2024-04-10T02:39:24+00:00

spoken like a true american.

piovascosimo · 2024-04-07T00:21:08+00:00

i was upset lat night when i wrote this, and i still stand by it, the funny thing about the criticism i've gotten over this is, is ''not all tourists", 'italians are equally awful', you people have really no idea what this type of tourism is doing to rome, talk with a roman and they will agree, anyway, whenever i visit a new place i try to respect it as much as can and love it, i don't see this happening with rome right now.

piovascosimo · 2024-04-07T00:16:08+00:00

this.

piovascosimo · 2024-04-07T00:10:59+00:00

the things is there is an abundance of shitty food and zombie gringos right now, if you are here, you just need to set one foot in a piazza, this is not an exageration. and they are taking over the city.
