Blur's Rowntree Defeated in Council Election

Oh well, back to being in some band or whatever
Blur's Rowntree Defeated in Council Election Drumroll please...the votes from yesterday's Westminster, London council election have been been tallied, and we now have results for the hallowed Marylebone seat. The victor, as reported by NME.com, is...not Dave Rowntree.

:-(

As previously reported, the Blur drummer traded his drumsticks for Labour Party policy advocacy and announced his intentions to run for the council seat a short while back. On the bright side, one man's election loss is a Blur-loving globe's gain: this development, after all, makes that rumored reunion that much more plausible.

The election instead went to the Conservative Party's Ian Rowley, but really, how many woefully out-of-date internet shrines does that guy have devoted to him?"
