I was just trying to make the point that he pretends to be something he isnt - the reason Graham Coxon left Blur. If you like his music, fine, on yersel. I think he's a clown. first of all that whole cockney thing died out in 1995. so stop bringing it up second graham left because his voice wasn't being heard musically anymore. third damon is a cockney technically he wasn't born in essex he was born in london and went to school with jonathan ross apparently up to age 9. So he stopped pretending to be a cockney in 1995 then? The fact of the matter is, he pretend to be something he isnt. Jarvis Cocker wrote a song about him, you should listen to it, its great. |

everytime i come on here i read another idiotic statement by you. mucky fingers is a demo you swore up and down that was proven wrong. heathen chemistry is a good obviously anyone with ears knows thats bullshit. now you are taking a hit on gorillaz. why do you hate them, they are adventorus pop group that makes some great music. they work with some of hippest and most influential people in the music business today and if you listened to demon days its hardly a kids album. it's more of an adult record than the oasis one is. Last time I looked in the mirror, I had ears, and I like Heathen Chemistry. Everyone is entitled to their opinion mucker. My opinion of the Gorrilaz is that its shit. Albarn is a fake. A dull middle class plonker from somewhere in some non-descript part of Essex who pretends he's a cockney. Now he's a cartoon. Pretty apt I reckon, coz thats all he's ever been. spot fuckin on. the problem with the people on here is that they're too young or to american to understand what a townie with a imaginary suit is... |

modern life is rubbish is a great album, so is leisure and the great escape. you don't have to tell me, i already spat that out in a post i made before.
however, modern life is rubbish did not do anything to promote britpop, i was alive when the album was released and it really didnt do anything except for kids who were already into YES indie. definitely maybe tore a second arsehole into the musicscene without promoting anything but being yourself. thats the difference, and thats why oasis are the biggest and best band of the 90s, now go fuck off again

Parklife is an amazing album, but Damon Albarn grew up in Colchester so by no stretch of the imagination is he a cockney! fact!

'The Last Party'? Well first of all, I really dont know if Live Forever was based on that book. Secondly, the reason Coxon left Blur is beacuse he was fed up of Albarn. He hated the fact that he suddenly started trying to act 'working class'. For example, he suddenly became a football fan and started going to Stamford Bridge, drinking pints of lager and trying to act like a 'lad'. He was brought up in some leafy suburb of Colchester and was trying to fool the world that he was born within hearing distance of the bells of St. Mary Le Bow. As shakermaker00 says, I'm not saying that all Blurs music is shit. Quite clearly it isnt, I'm mearly making the point that Albarn created this persona to try and fit in with a 'scene'. Pretty sad. The whole way he and Steve Sutherland created the Country House / Roll WIth It feud with Oasis is a joke. Didnt you see the interview he did on News At Ten at the height of all that? Hillarious. Imagine if one of the Gallagher brothers decided to make an album and had a gang of cartoon characters front the whole thing. They would be derided in the music press. Anyway, the only reason I replied to you in the first place was becasue you had a go at Kalas saying he didnt like the Gorillaz and he liked Heathen Chemistry. Its called an opinion. |

For example, he suddenly became a football fan and started going to Stamford Bridge, drinking pints of lager and trying to act like a 'lad'. He did that stuff in 1994 and 1995 during the Brit Pop movement as did Coxon. However starting in 1997 Blur turned their back on British music and their self titled record which has a very American underground sound to it. The reason Graham left is because he lost control of the band musically. Graham was the one who made them change their sound and become heavily influenced by Pavement. During the Think Tank sessions when Damon wanted to take over the band more Graham got fed up and left. I think as a Blur fan and quite a big one I know quite more on this subject than you do. Now on to the Colchester point he moved their when he was 9 so yes he was brought up their but he isn't from there. I moved to Indianapolis when I was 14 does that mean I'm not a New York anymore. Or when a British person moves to the States does that mean they aren't British anymore. |

Or when a British person moves to the States does that mean they aren't British anymore. When I first saw Blur in 1991, they were your typical art-student type band. Very middle class and poilte - nothing wrong with that. Saw them again a couple of years later, and suddenly Albarn is singing in a mockney accent and acting and dressing like a 'lad'. He's a chancer, always had been, always will be. Anyway, we could argue about this forever and never agree, so back to my original reason for getting involved in this thread - You had a go at Kalas for no reason, other than he expresses an opinion. Whats that all about? |

It's #9 on the CDN iTunes album chart...and Canada is usually 5 or 6 ahead of States at least...so I'm gonna guess 15 to be Conservative.

By the way I've bought Leisure, Park Life, Great Escape and Blur and personally I thought apart from Leisure they were all shite! They had about 4 good songs (ie the singles) and the rest was total filler and bullshit. They are a singles band (and a good one at that) nothing more, nothing less.
