July 13, 200817 yr xneverwherex: Was that The Good, The Bad and The Queen that Damon and Si Tong were doing? Thatd have been pretty cool if it were TGTBTQ - because Tony Allen was there as well on drums, but it wasnt a show for them. It was more of a world music show. It was all about the afro-pop/Mali music (from his trip there w/Oxfam in 2000) and showcasing the different artists that had worked with Honest Jon's label. Damon was more often to the side - singing along, clapping, dancing, talking to Tony on drums and dancing - while Simon was off to the side almost in the corners at times playing along (and damn hes f'ing good!). I figure they must have all played together so much the way everyone gelled together. Damon did sing one song - which ended up involving all the other musicians on the stage - a song from Mali music which was just incredible. I must say when Damon sang the crowd went nuts - and this is a concert hall where the Philharmonic plays so it was surreal. I nearly cried I must admit - at 40 years old he looks lovely and sounds as well as he did when I first heard Leisure. Blur was my first love in high school and Damon was everything I wanted in a rockstar! To this day MLIR is still one of my favorite albums. It is pure genius! The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble was insane - their family was behind my friend and I and they were going crazy. It was pretty cool seeing all the guys up there - dark sunglasses rocking out on brass. i did hear an interview with him the other day on the radio and he mentioned either Gorillaz or TGTBTQ would have a new album out shortly. (cant remember which he said). Some pics of Damon - as im so in love with him. More pics are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/xneverwherex

July 26, 200817 yr First I didn't like "Love Is Noise", but my favourite radio station often played this song the last couple of days so now I'm going to like it more and more! :nice: Watched the Glastonbury clip on youtube... amazing!!!
