Thank god for that!

It's because it sounds like Gorillaz!

I've not really gone back to it, despite being very very happy that it exists. Go Out, Lonesome St, Ghostship, Ong Ong, Pyongyang and Ice Cream Man are keepers. The rest are all much of a mid-tempo muchness to my mind (said with the utmost respect for the wonderful playing and emotion imbued by the ...

I've always meant to explore the Kinks on an album by album basis; I'm sure it's one of the great blanks in my musical knowledge - I know pretty much every Rolling Stones, Bowie, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan LP backwards and inside out, but I still gravitate towards specific songs by The Kinks rather than wh...

Haha, that's a lovely song. Will listen to a few more of Mark's songs, that's a cracker.

The Blur/Kinks interface is pretty well known, but enjoyed a tip in this month's MOJO when I read it this morning; in a nice piece on Ray Davies, Danny Eccleston highlights Ray's 'The Deal' from his 2017 LP AMERICANA (which I've skimmed in the past, but missed this one). Just gave it a listen and it...

It's 'heal me' in all three of those clips.

Really really not my sort of thing, but hope it goes well fror them.

Love Aries, Desolee and Pac Man but Friday 13th is the pick of the bunch for me so far; gloriously loose, dubby, dreamy pop and a beautiful vocal.

The funny thing about the whole Blur or Gorillaz debate is that we have both. The last time Blur played together was March 2019. We might not get them both, all of the time, but think about all those people who would dearly love The Smiths, Talking Heads, REM, The Jam, Led Zeppelin, Genesis with P G...

Nah, it was trailed in the press weeks before it came out. I was away in New York at the time and had time to prime an ex-girlfriend to get up at 4am in the morning and go and queue for it outside Resident Records in Brighton. Agree it was a limited release for Record Store Day and thus not a conve...

Don't Bomb was intentionally released with no indication that it was actually by Blur, with this whole "white label" thing. I wouldn't call it a single. From what I recall, it nicely added some confusion to the questions of activity and musical direction of the band in that period, perhaps delibera...

I don't know why you've compared it to colours, what's colours got to do with anything? What about....hmmm lets say I got Law. I got Law was a bside, is definitely a demo but it's not a white label it had the bands name on it. They were happy to release that. The bugman remixes were pretty awful. R...

Ah, that's a very beautiful little cover version. Great tweaks to the melody.

Pretty sure it's 'Heal me', as you suggest.
