AAH I can't keep track of all this!! I'm gonna keep a lookout for someone posting the entire opera online :D hey, a girl can dream... Liz- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for those gifs!!! they're mesmerizing :rolleyes3: And I just heard The Reigning Queen- it's beautiful! Nice to finally hear the full version of the 5-second clip in that one trailer (I knew I'd love it)! Oh, and I just found this: the lighting makes him look almost.....angelic :freak: (and there's the bitchface twin on the right... :laugh3:)

Them thinking about it isn't good enough for me, I want them here NOW! :P Btw, this was just released: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQxLERuXBK4&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - ‪Dr Dee rehearsals at BBC Studios‬‏[/ame] So much Damo! I love it! the beard is so interestingly shaped :lol: and that smile at the end...so adorable...

Well congrats! :nice: Hey, I just got this from the G-U website, looks like we're getting 10 all-Damo songs: the caption :laugh3: Oh, and this too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jun/22/damon-albarn-doctor-dee-opera BLUR MAY COME HERE *faints*

:o WHOA. Did you know the official Dr. Dee tumblr posted the vid you uploaded?? I'd feel special if I were you :P Thanks so much btw! I probably couldn't have seen it otherwise, nothing from the show is available in the U.S.

Yeah, thanks Liz! In the second one the bassist is pulling a variation of the bitchface :laugh3: looks like Damon's found himself a twin (with more evenly combed hair) XD

no problem :nice: And yeah, it kinda feels like TGTBTQ- The Opera. I don't mind that at all... (I've had it stuck in my head all day :freak:)

^YAY And also, HE PERFORMED TODAY!!!!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8oWbOfmiE]YouTube - ‪Damon Albarn - Apple Carts (Live from the Andrew Marr Show)‬‏[/ame] I hope this doesn't get taken down but I prefer it to the official BBC website link because it's ad-free. Anyway, I F'IN LOVE THIS, it's so folksy and haunting... I knew I could trust him (still hope he shaves a little though :P)

Whoa, they've already released a Trailer 2! And this one involves Damon! I must be psychic :P [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQBhVl_FGFc&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - ‪Dr Dee trailer no 2‬‏[/ame] that voice...so...beautiful :')

Damon + Paul?!?!?!?!? *dies* This better happen. (I'm so glad Paul's a Gorillaz fan too... :nice:) Aww, sorry Liz... at least you'll get to see it at some point, which is more than I can say for myself... just be prepared to let us all know how it is! And that trailer- I'm intrigued... too bad Damo's not in it though. And it's so short. I demand Trailer 2!!! Oh and Wolvez, he's going to play himself and just perform, not be in character or anything... still, it should be interesting to see how they fit that into a medieval setting :)

OMFG THAT PICTURE :bomb: Now THAT'S the perfect amount of beard! I was expecting him to look like a gorgeous brunette Santa or something :nice: actually he might now, depending on how long ago that was taken... I was hoping someone got pics during the show like they did when he took over Radio One, but the audio clip plus that photo are good enough for me. I just can't stand it when he goes into hibernation after a big event, even if it is so he can set up the next one... lovin' the new avvie btw :lol: Hey, did you get tickets Liz?

FINALLY!!! Here it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9505000/9505475.stm But the bad news is it's only audio :cry: Pics or it didn't happen!! He doesn't give much away about the opera, but at least it's nice to hear that sexy voice again, especially when he starts talking about the effect the royal wedding had on him... <3 And even more bad news- we won't be getting any Damon-in-tights footage anytime soon :( And here's the interviewer's blog post about it- maybe he's trying to make up for the lack of visuals: http://johnwilson14.wordpress.com/ ^I hope he shaves soon... I love him no matter what, but can you imagine a beardy Damo for all of 2011?... :confused: Btw guys, do all Brits pronounce "Renaissance" like that? And I mean that in the most flattering way possible :P

lawl Wolvez :laugh3: same when I first heard it and nooooooooooes, I just checked and the interview's been pushed back :veryangry2: one...more...day.......

Only #24?!? BLASPHEMY!! Still- that...picture.......:bomb: It almost looks like he's pouting. Work it Damo! :P

Nvm, they're back up now, s'all good- that was scary... :D This was uploaded recently and I just heard it for the first time. You guys have probably heard it before but I might as well post it anyway... even if you have, I'm sure the picture doesn't hurt :P [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3x7zRJrp2Q]YouTube - ‪Damon Albarn - Waiting (Take two) (1987)‬‏[/ame] i've concluded that 80s-Damo is just as sexy as all his other phases.....not that I doubted that in the first place

Well there is that pic of him in a Pikachu suit... it's possible that someone forced him into it but I prefer to think he was embracing his inner child/nerd :P Btw Liz, what happened to your Photobucket?? All your pics are gone- where'd the gorgeousness go? :shocked2:

No idea... So u herd he lyks teh mudkipz? :P (sorry, my friends taught me about memes, i.e. turned me into a troll) And haha yes it does, that's adorable :nice: Happy birthday to 2D btw! I don't think it's a coincidence that it's exactly two months after Damon's...

Haha I agree Liz, my jaw dropped when I saw that part of Bananaz... I guess it's best to stop criticizing all the other phases and just appreciate that he even has hair in those :lol: And I'm glad you liked my pics Nina, I love the first one for the same reasons... I seriously did nothing but stare at it for at least a couple of minutes after I saved it to my computer :dozey: Congrats Wolvez btw :nice: I'm surprised I figured it out at all but Photobucket kinda helped me cheat by directly giving me the right format... And Nina, the one you reposted above (I don't feel like re-reposting it) is AMAZING, thank you Liz!! (they all are, but that one... :bomb:) Is it just me imagining things and/or being a perv or do his pants in the first one have yet another hole in... a questionable area? XD

Thanks, I think I've got it! Ok, I can see where you're coming from, can't complain about his haircut there (or anything at all really) :dozey: While I'm at it, here's Damo + Kate Winslet... no idea how they got together but it's still cute :nice: So to summarize- I do like his current haircut but I hope it grows out a little longer. And I'm still sticking by the bangs and sideburns- I have yet to see anyone else with hair like that, but he completely pulls it off :)

^Good question, I was wondering about that too... I came across an amazing pic from the 2010 tour and saved it on my computer but I have no idea how to post it. That was harsh Nina... :P And gahh, Damon needs to grow his Think Tank-era hair back, the shagginess suited him so well :\ I mean, I liked his mid-90s hair best, but I can't imagine him with it now... :nice:

Agghhh Liz, why'd you post that Face pic? It was traumatizing enough to see that once :cry: :P I'm really pissed too that no one here knows who he is, but then again he's like our little secret here in the US ;) Blur didn't get nearly enough airtime here back in the day- I saw Coffee and TV on TV once (well that was redundant) and never saw anything like that again. And I feel like kicking myself for not looking them up afterward... The only Britpop song I heard in the 90s was Wonderwall :rolleyes: Btw, am I the only person on this thread who's never seen the gloriousness that is Damon live?? That needs to be fixed asap...

Haha thanks Liz, I'm too lazy to go back through the thread and look for names... nice to meetcha Nina and Ly :nice: And those pics are amazing, lol @the porn one- his expression is so sneaky-little-kid-ish :laugh3: Not to divert attention from the Albarn but what a coincidence that I saw The Talented Mr. Ripley today, right after the Jude pic saga on here... (spoiler alert) naked Jude makes me happy, dead bloody Jude makes me sad :\

And hi to you Ms Magpie! Jeez, I really don't know what to call anyone on here... well, I know Liz's name but that was a given :P eff-exx- yes to both, but I think we're in the same boat in terms of being able to make it there :\ and Liz- I don't know what you're talking about, the pics look perfect! And I won't push the Smogs thing but all I'll say is congrats on making it so far into the "Albarn inner circle," you're just a step away from becoming a personal friend of Damo's :o

That's weird, it was working when I first saw it, maybe the link got messed up... Btw Liz, how does Smogs know that?? Did you talk about it with him at the concert?...*iz jealous* completely unrelated but I got a letter from my French penpal today saying that people always tell her brother he looks like Damon 0_o and I had already lost hope that Damons-in-training existed...

Np Liz, sorry I'm such a dork that I couldn't find the delete button ^^ And thanks, I really appreciate it! And I second the Jude thing, those are the two most gorgeous guys ever born if you ask me... should we start formulating bromance couple names yet? How about Dude? :P And to Laundromatlock- wow, that's the first I've heard of it but that sounds awesome... RHCP ftw!

No problem Liz, I don't know how to delete it but I think I made it work :wink: And... yes please? And Laundromatlock, what new band?? I'm guessing you don't mean TGTBTQ?
