Retired (or "fired" depending on who you believe) Blur guitarist Graham Coxon is playing a solo show Friday night at Double Door. However, you can check out a sneak preview today on KEXP.org. Coxon was just in Seattle last night and he stopped by the KEXP studios earlier in the day for a quick live set. To get a taste of what his Double Door performance might sound like, check out the archived audio of Cheryl Waters' show dated 3/23/05.
Random question/poll...
So Chicago, what are your thoughts on Blur vs. Graham Coxon? No, it's not as heated as Blur vs. Oasis...but what do you think is better? Blur with Coxon or without? Also, should Coxon be famous or infamous for his solo albums?

blur without graham still holds it's own due to the immeasurable pop crafting talents of damon albarn.i see a little lennon and mccartney-esque characteristics between the two. (i'm not comparing blur to the beatles!!! calm down!!! geez...) damon is going too soft (as mccartney did with wings) and graham is going too hard (as lennon did with yoko ono)both still amazing musicians/songwriters putting out interesting records. though together they were something quite spectacular.

Blur with Coxon, if anyone says Blur without Coxon, please take them out back and shoot them. I am indifferent to his solo work, not bad, but not great either.
