Oh my god Lizzy, I love your drawing! And the alex puppy one is just too adorable for words! Love it! And I can't wait to see your drawing Nina (I hope you don't mind me calling you Nina!).

I didn't even notice the time he tweeted them at. I'm really like that too. The middle of the night is really the only time I feel like tweeting anything. I have a ridiculous sleeping pattern.

Hmm. Jonathan Ross is pretty tall, isn't he? I think Damon looks near enough his height. He does slouch though. 5.11 is tall though. I'm about 5.9/5.10. If I get the chance to meet him I'll compare :sneaky::D

The official Gorillaz Thread
I listened to it for about an hour- couldn't understand a word and they weren't on and no mention of them so I think I got that wrong! Sorry :(

The official Gorillaz Thread
I read on the G-U that there may be a stream of Gorillaz gig at Roskilde at 4 GMT on Ras 2: http://dagskra.ruv.is/ras2/ I don't know if it'll work but I'm gonna listen anyway. I don't understand anything on the page, but I'll hope for the best!

I totally bought both of those! I'm definitely gonna wear nautical attire to the concert :D. This is the hat I bought pretty much. The rope is navy on mine though and the crest is a bit different: http://s7.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/E7E59BCE.jpg

The Damon Albarn thread.
Yeh I know, it's just a fact of life that these things happen, and it's not their fault. Why would they deliberately want to piss off the fans? Doesn't make any sense. And yes there are some idiots on the forums, but there are some really cool people on it too. You kinda have to learn to ignore the fools! I think a number of them are just trolling too. Bored and trying to get a reaction out of people. That might be why it seems like people aren't defending Damon or Jamie. I think people are just used to it and it's more effective to ignore it. That's my reading of it most of the time anyway.

I love how puzzled he looks - and at the end of the interview! It seems to only have occurred to him :D

The Damon Albarn thread.
It's true, the whole Uk and Ireland tour was changed from October to November without any notice and ticketmaster are not the best at refunds apparently. I think the Scottish and one of the English ones were cancelled altogher. The one I'm going to was rescheduled too. I'm lucky that it didn't make any difference though! I think the change was to accomodate the US leg of the tour. A number of people had spent a lot of money on travel and accomodation, because they were coming from abroad and had lost so much money as well.

Yeh, I've never listened to Leisure in full, so I'm gonna do that! I know she interviewed Damon as well anyway. I don't think I've seen the Alex or Dave ones though. I love the way Graham just says "you're weird" at the end of the interview! Hilarious and so cute!

The Blur Thread
That is a stunning picture of Graham. He is adorable. I watched that interview he did last night for the great escape with a drag queen who kept calling him cheryl. He was very drunk and kept showing her his funny faces. He's just so cute! MMMMmmm, Damon's ass...! I can't really hear a huge change in Damon's voice to be honest - at least from a deep point of view. Like his voice is pretty deep in The Universal and even in There's no other way. I must listen again and pay more attention!

Yeh Cass is amazing too. I think he's the nearest thing to a third Gorilla. He's been with them from the very start. He's an amazing drummer too. His Glastonbury performance gave me goosebumps, and I'm not very observant about drums usually. That's so funny about Damon and youtube. I didn't know about that at all! I follow Graham on twitter too. His tweets are often obscure! Love it!

Aw bless your cotton socks. Thanks! :D

OH. MY. GOD!! That is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen!!

The Blur Thread
Aw thanks! The other instrument is a melodica. It's the Hohner fire one to be exact ;) And I agree about the chord progressions. Especially with Gorillaz and GBQ. I just love how most of the songs have an oddness about them. Thanks Lizzy, and you're welcome!

The Blur Thread
Ok, so I was bored and I caved! I did a cover of 'Battery in your leg'. I hope you don't hate it! I really love this song. It means a lot to me. It's a pretty straightfoward cover. You may be sorry you asked!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdCF6NJJaHo]YouTube- Battery in Your Leg cover.wmv[/ame]

Oh my god!! That is just too sexy for words. Damon's pose is so funny and hot. I'm confused! And Jamie looks so suave. I cannot wait to get this magazine. And girls, don't worry, it's not just America. I'm fed up with the people here too. People just don't seem to care about the world in general unless it directly affects them and immediately. I just despair. But anyway, hot guys :D

The Blur Thread
Oh god! I don't think you wanna hear that! I can't sing so it'd just be me strumming the chords a bit! And I agree on the listening party. Looking forward to it.

The Blur Thread
Do it, Lizzy! I bought one recently. Totally inspired by Damon. I play the piano and it is so handy and portable. I love it. They aren't too expensive either. I love playing along with Blur songs, esp tender, beetlebum, Battery in your leg and charmless man is a lot of fun. I just strum along on the guitar though - nothing too complicated.

The official Gorillaz Thread
Oh shit! Should have updated this thread. There's a discussion (and pics) in the Damon Albarn thread. Apparantly, the Sun is the only place where it says that they performed so I'm confused. It'd be great if it's true. They definitely deserved this award. And welcome!!

The Damon Albarn thread.
No prob. It was someone over at the GU who found it, but I thought it belonged here too! Apparently, after Damon said that, Jamie said: "I would just like to add a genuine apology for Damon's shocking behaviour." :laugh3:
-
The Damon Albarn thread.
Jamie does look amazing in these photos too. It looks like they're having a lot of fun. Sexy as hell. I'm gonna check my local eason for this today, but I really doubt they'll have it yet. Does anyone know if we will ever see video of the speech? Edit: there's a bit here at 1.27 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uPipWHzr08&feature=channel]YouTube- Lily Allen shows off baby bump at GQ[/ame] He looks so sheepish and adorable :D

I am definitely getting that issue of GQ tomorrow! Holy shit! Welcome to the Damon love!! The best pics of Damon are here :D. Don't worry, everyone here is lovely. Really hope you get to go to the concert. I'm going in November and I can't wait! Also, happy birthday! Hahaha! We're taking over!
