Re: Blur goes to Mars - The first pop band on Mars
I read that the British pop group Blur will have one of their songs on a Mars mission this year. Does anyone know the title of the song and when will the the transmission back to Earth take place?
You can find an article about it on my webpage

I found some more information on the Beagle 2 webpage. "Beagle 2" is a new composition and is included on the CD (CD2) of the third single, No Distance Left To Run, from Blur's album '13'. Read more

OH OH. BLUR! Parklife. Awesome. I was thinking, ?Who is Blur?? And totally forgot who they were.
Well this is bloody brilliant. Somewhat similar to what NASA did with Odyssey and Vangelis (Mythedoia), though in a much much cooler way.

YES! Excellent idea. Blur is one of the most creative and clever rock/pop bands around.
