Got em Radhi. They'll be up soon. Sidenote on Blur:

Back in 1991, they were trying to break the American market and their record company was pressuring radio stations to play "There's No Other Way." To appease, we added it to our nightly Top 8 countdown. We used callers as guest DJs to introduce the songs, but since no one cared about Blur, we had to beg them to introduce the song. After a few days of this, our program director is doing the show and trying to get some girl to say "At #6, it's 'There's No Other Way' by Blur." After repeated tries, he settled for her best take: "At #6 it's 'There's No Other Way' by Blerf." The next day, we dropped the song.

Oooh that is a shame... but not really unexpected since at the time Blur were all for promoting an anti-grunge, pro-Brit movement. Damon Albarn was not happy when Oasis managed to destroy that self-loathing mindset that was so popular in America with Wonderwall going on regular rotation.

PS: Thanks for finding my facts!
