Fat Tounged Cartoon Monkies

I know that Damon Albarn is widely viewed as Jamie Oliver of the pop world but I quite like the new Gorillaz album. The new single, Dare, featuring Mr Potatohead (Potatobody?) Shaun Ryder is very good and the music video is also cool. Even my Steps loving Son likes it too. It also gives comic artist Jamie Hewlett something to do after 2000AD and Tank Girl died a death. Although not all the Gorillaz tracks are good I have repspect for Mr Albarn for not succumbimg to "sticking with the old formula" and churning out more Blur tracks that have clearly lost their 90s feel. Not at all like Oasis do.....

Funnily enough Mr Oliver has enjoyed a rehabilition in a jaded nations eyes (and mine too) after his school foods campaign.

Did we really think that there was any musical comparison between Blur and Oasis?

must resist.....

Hey... Oasis are'nt that bad. They are both very hairy and very scrotumized but the music was ok.

Notice i said WAS.

They have arrogance a-plenty - but they are both highly amusing. We watched a prog about BritPop the other week on holiday and Liam was told by the interviewer that he was "effeminate" and his reply was.... "whass at mean then?".

Durrrr!

I agree about Oasis. Was.

The came.
They saw.
They conquered.

They disappeared up their own hairy monkey arse.
