Blur look set to make their Hyde Park show this summer their last, according to Damon Albarn. Speaking to The Guardian , Albarn claims to intend new song 'Under The Westway' to be a final release, with the huge London show set for 12th August to mark an end to live performances. The piece claims the new song, debuted earlier this year by Albarn and Graham Coxon at a Warchild charity show , is to be released as a one-off single. "We recorded it live," Damon told the news paper. "One take. [...]

Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn is back with Blur now and has also found time to write an opera about an Elizabethan mathematician – we know you’d like to hear more on the Blur front, but you should definitely give some credence to Albarn’s Dr. Dee too, which is truly not as boring as it may sound, if first (can we call it a single?) offering “The Marvelous Dream” is any indication. We love that simple, hypnotic guitar line, and Albarn’s vocals are, as usual, on point – which is [...]

Listen to Damon Albarn 's new song "The Marvelous Dream" below, taken from the album "Dr Dee" . It might be difficult for you to find someone else in music these days who's working harder than Damon Albarn , what with having his hand in pies with Blur , Gorillaz , Lana Del Rey , his supergroup with Flea and Tony Allen ,  the whole Congo [...]

Frank Yang Taking into account how incredibly efficient I was at catching my must-see bands of SXSW on the first day of the festival, I knew that it was a very real possibility that come Saturday night, I'd have nothing left that I wanted to see... and that was almost the case. Thankfully I'd kept a few things in my back pocket and either skipped earlier in the week for just such a scenario or had been putting off for Canadian Musicfest the following week. It's called planning, folks. [...]

Impresionado. Así me quedo al leer las palabras de Damon Albarn, frontman de Blur y hombre detrás de Gorillaz, en las que aseguro que estuvo a punto de grabar un álbum junto al mismísimo David Bowie y a Ray Davies , frontman de The Kinks. Lo dijo en una entrevista a The Quietus , donde por supuesto salió el tema de las colaboraciones: Me encanta colaborar con personas y al mismo tiempo no espero que funcionen, y ha habido gente con la que sinceramente no ha funcionado. Quiero [...]

Filed under: News Graeme Flegenheimer, WireImage Since Blur took a break in the '00s, Damon Albarn has been all about collaborations. Thanks to Gorillaz , he's had the chance to work with everyone from Lou Reed and Bobby Womack to Little Dragon and De La Soul , but as the NME reports, he nearly trumped all team-ups and made a record with David Bowie and Ray [...]

Rocket Juice and the Moon is a brilliant fresh project. Its line up comprises of Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn (guitar, vocals), Flea (bass) of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tony Allen (drums, percussion), the afro beat drummer and musical producer for Fela Kuti.

Atualmente, o Blur voltou aos palcos no Brit Awards , e Damon lançou música do Gorillaz para a Converse , anunciou um álbum do seu projeto Rocket Juice and the Moon e já liberou uma música, Hey Shooter . Hoje, Damon anunciou que antes do lançamento do álbum do Rocket Juice and the Moon, ele lançará o álbum Dr.Dee , que terá versões de estúdio de sua ópera, que leva o mesmo nome. [...]

Tal parece que Damon Albarn no puede mantenerse estático por mucho tiempo. Hace días estrenó un track para Converse llamado " DoYaThing ", donde colaboró con André 3000 y James Murphy . Después, haría una presentación histórica con su banda Blur, cerrando la entrega de los Brit Awards. Ahora está preparando todo para el lanzamiento de un nuevo álbum solista, Dr. Dee . El nuevo material de Albarn parece alejarse de lo que ha hecho anteriormente con Blur o Gorillaz, pero suena muy interesante. Se trata de un proyecto conceptual, una [...]

Damon Albarn, Flea, Tony Allen, and Erykah Badu put their heads together for some space-funk.

Check out the music video for Gorillaz featuring André 3000 & James Murphy . DoYaThing is part of the Converse promotion for their new line of shoes. So what do you think of the music video? How I miss blur getting back into the studio making a new album.

If Albarn may have been unusually unreserved over the releasing of much contemporary material (be it for the superb DRC Music project , Gorillaz' stilted DoYaThing , or Blur's understated Under The Westway ) he's certainly been rather more tentative when showering us with stuff from Rocket Juice & The Moon . Indeed Hey Shooter, a track featuring notorious R&B vocalist Erykah Badu , is the first fully-formed insight to emerge online and can be heard for the first time below. For reasons revolving around Badu's absence or otherwise, Hey Shooter was also neglected from [...]

Damon Albarn, Damon Albarn, Damon Albarn. Hoje em dia, não importa para onde você olhar, são grandes as chances de você ver o nome desta pessoa em algum lugar. Depois de divulgar uma música do Gorillaz com a participação de Andre 3000 (Outkast) e James Murphy (ex-mentor do LCD-Soundsystem) para a Converse e voltar aos palcos com o Blur no Britt Awards, a jogada da vez é com seu novo projeto, o Rocket Juice and the Moon .

Cassetteboy’s career was under unfathomable threat last night, as BBC Radio 1 presenter Matt Edmondson intuitively replaced Phil Daniels' ranting and raving in 'Parklife', with Damon Albarn’s checklist acceptance speech from the Brits awards.

Filed under: News , Awards Getty Images (2) After years of taking pot shots at each other in the media during their Brit pop heyday in the mid-1990s, former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and Blur 's Damon Albarn have kissed and made up. Literally. According to the Evening Standard , both musicians were on a boat on the Thames following the Brit Awards as part of a [...]

The Caption Contest is mostly Videogum's territory ; it's been over a year since we've run one . But then, it's been over a year since we've seen a photo this monumental : Britpop-era archrivals Damon Albarn and Noel Gallagher sharing a supremely awkward and drunk-looking hug on the red carpet of the Brit Awards. Back in the mid-'90s, Albarn's Blur and Gallagher's Oasis had lots of fun saying mean things about each other in the press, but now Gallagher says stuff like this: "It's funny to think Blur were last here 17 years ago when we [...]
