Hi girls... has anyone had a chance to listen to any of the songs Damon recorded while on tour for Think Tank in his hotel room? I'm just now getting around to listening to them, I guess they are his only bit of solo stuff. Only released on vinyl too(5,000 of them), I found one on ebay so I wanted it :wideeyed: I've gone vinyl crazy lately hahaha

 

Anyway here are some previews for anyone who hasn't heard the songs yet :)

 

http://mp3shake.com/en/album/Damon_Albarn/Democrazy-3507/

 

Democrazy! It would be an interesting listen. Thanks for the link! :wacko:

 

We're just a big happy family of Damon/Blur/Gorillaz/TGTBATQ/Democrazy Boys and Girls......and for that I have to put this here....

 

 

I remember getting addicted to Blur and one of the reasons was because of this song. I made my friend love this song too. :wacko:

AHHHH :bomb: i love these songs! I'm exited for the vinyl to get here :D

 

I eventually want to collect everything he has ever created. I know he's done quite a few soundtracks for movies too. Trainspotting probably the most famous. He's worked on so much it's insane, he is so inspiring :wacky: (and if you want to believe the rumors how he wrote the lyrics to Elastica's first album :P )

I understand! I dont have the money for those vinyls either, I don't know what I'm doing :laugh3: running myself into more debt for Albarn that's what! hahaha

 

 

Ok and because I'm an idiot, I posted an interview about Suzi in the Gorillaz thread instead of in here :facepalm: anyway I said over there I would post this on how they met... it makes me laugh hahaha

 

 

 

“He tells me about meeting her for the first time, when they were both guests on Radio 4’s Midweek with Libby Purves. Suzi Winstanley is an artist who, with her collaborator Olly Williams, travels the world creating artworks that interact with the natural world they describe. As Damon remembers it, she was on to talk about polar bears. “I went, Oh yeah, I’ve got a house in Reykjavik…,” he says. (This wasn’t brilliantly impressive repartee - Damon does, it is true, have a house in Reykjavik, next door to his friend Einar Örn of The Sugacubes, but there are no polar bears there or, in normal circumstances, anywhere in Iceland.) He soon learned that playing the famous pop star card wasn’t going to get him too far anyway: “She spent the ’90s essentially being abroad - in the Arctic, in Africa, in South America, in India - so she genuinely had no idea who I was,” he says, with mock exasperation. “And how important I was.” The first time he visited her bedsit near Liverpool Street, she suggested that they go and see the Richard Serra sculpture nearby. It was close to rush hour. “No, you don’t want to do that,” he told her. “Trust me. And she was, What? She just thought, What a tosser. So we did, anyway, and she realised. Four Essex girls come up the escalator and go, Is that your new girlfriend, Damon?”

Still, Damon insists that a zero tolerance for self-regarding rock star behaviour in his life started right there and has endured. “Which is good,” he concedes. “And now I’ve got zero tolerance for everyone else who behaves like that.”

Like a smoker who gives up and becomes evangelical about non-smoking?

“I suppose so. I see where you’re going with that but…” - he sighs melodramatically - “…oh, alright.”

 

"I've got a house in Reykjavik"

hahahaha fail damon.. fail!

youtube downloader is always good. It downloads the video and then it lets you convert it to mp3 and then just delete the video file and keep the mp3

 

Oh god! That is just fantastic! I read that before and then lost the link, so thanks for that! It's like he was desperate to impress her and just didn't think. He's just so funny - "and how important I was"

That reminds me when I looked up his profile on IMDB-I didn't realize how many movies Blur/Gorillaz songs show up in. (Including, sadly, the Karate Kid rip-off Will Smith financed for his son to be in-I think 19/200 shows up in it).
