*awaiting usual Sledge Hammer comment about how Damon is wasting time with Gorillaz and should return making music with Blur* Isn't he? No. The sad truth is that there are not as many people interested in hearing a Blur album than there is a Gorillaz album. Damon's songs and ideas will reach more p...

I don't remember Smith ever saying anything complimentary about Blur though, and maybe even slagged them off a bit. There is this delicious quote from his interview for Blah Blah Blah magazine, done in 1995: We played a concert recently in France and Blur were supporting us. The whole front ten row...

It's v interesting from a pop culture point of view. Smith was a huge global icon of the indie world in the 80s, and Albarn was a similar figure in the 90s. I don't remember Smith ever saying anything complimentary about Blur though, and maybe even slagged them off a bit. This new song? Underwhelmin...

August - Taylor A Swift

Not bad, but I preferred YY28.

Anyone know if there's a set-list?
There was a song with lyrics I recognised but seemed to be set to a different piece of music...

:lol: Who gets what gong has bugger all to do with the Queen! One of the Good - or more likely one of the Bad - will have put him forward... The quote I heard was; "One is deeply fond of the GBQ album particularly the song 80's Life (as one was in ones 80s on its release) and the title track as it ...

Been listening to the second GBQ recently for first time in yonks. Pleasantly surprised. But I'd say it's still good rather than great. 7/10 rather than the first one's 9/10. Still, it's miles better than The Magic Whips (which I just find an effort to sit through). Anyone else hear the rumour that ...

An interesting approach to this question is what would you rather see live? A Blur concert or a Damon one? Although I generally prefer Blur to Damon's other stuff, the two GBQ albums are better than quite a few Blur albums. And I like quite a few Gorillaz songs. When I saw Damon at the Albert Hall a...

Not for me. I loved TGE when it was first released, grew to despise it as I grew older, but have come to love it again. Yes there are some sloppy moments (Mr Robinson's Quango, Topman) and some of the lyrics and themes are a little outdated, but it's an enjoyable listen. Best Days is stunning. He T...

Strikes me as pretty high, too. I would've guessed at half the number. Is there a list of Blur singles that have sales certifications? My guess at the biggest selling ones would be something like: Country House (way ahead). Then (in no particular order). Parklife, There's No Other Way, Tender, Charm...

Liking 'Confirmation' by a chap I'd never head of before called Westerman.
It's got a good beat!

New member here. Just relistened to TGE after maybe 10 years. For what it is worth, here is my ten cents: Song for song I believe TGE is stronger than 13, which is extremely overindulgent. And certainly better than the disappointing TMW. Stereotypes: Musically one of the strongest things on here. T...

its not gonna happend i think. same no parklife or country house 2.0 I meant the next big hit. Will Damon ever write another hit for Gorillaz? Does he even have it in him? Or he just doesn't care anymore? The guy's main ambition seems to be to experiment as much as possible and collaborate with as ...

Of course not! It's got 5 or 6 brilliant songs. The Magic Whip has none! The great songs are: Country house, he thought of cars, charmless man, Yuko, universal, it could be you, The good songs are: Best days, Arnold same, Admittedly that leaves about 7 pretty rubbish ones which is more than on any o...
