Blur

А где ты взял видео, и можешь ли поделиться?

BuuSuuSuuSuuS, сам снял. Но я еще не оцифровывал его. Кстати начитался вчера... и вот мне чудесный сон приснился как мы познакомились с Албарном :-))
Было очень интересно, мы много общались, я всё время что то спрашивал... как наяву! Первый раз такое приснилось...)))

22 March 2005

Virtual band Gorillaz, fronted by Blur vocalist Damon Albarn, have completed their next album and should be ready to release it on May 23.

The album, titled "Demon Days", took the band a long time to record and the group is relieved to have it completed.

Albarn spoke to Billboard.com "It takes a long time. We recorded most of it last year. And working on the video is intensive." The first video for debut single "Feel Good Inc" took more than three months to make due to the detailed, state-of-the-art animation but will be out May 9.

Albarn also suggested a new Blur album may be on its way in the future.

GORILLAZ IN OUR MIDST AGAIN!

GORILLAZ have confirmed final details of their comeback single ‘FEEL GOOD INC’.

The track is the first to be lifted from the animated group’s second album ’Demon Days’, and will be released on May 9. It features a guest rap from De La Soul.

’Feel Good Inc.’ will be released on CD, DVD and 7” picture disc. Additional tracks across the formats include ‘Spitting Out The Demons’, ‘68 State’ and ‘Bill Murray’, which features a guest spot from The Bees .

The video for the single has been directed by longtime collaborators Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland.

Speaking recently about ’Demon Days’, drummer Russell Hobbs told NME.COM: “We've noticed that some people have picked up on 'Reject False Icons' as being the new Gorillaz album title. This was actually more like the motto we used while we were working on the tracks to keep us fresh.”

He added: “The album title now is 'Demon Days'. We've pretty well finished. Noodle and Danger Mouse are just trimming the last bits of the back and then this cut should be razor sharp. I guess we're looking at a May date for this thing to drop.”

The title has, according to guitarist Noodle, a number of different meanings. She said: “Its’ interpretation is completed by the instinct of the listener. In one sense the Demon is a disease and the disease is an absence of thought, a state where people make action without consideration. This is the invisible evil, with a million eyes. This is the return of the ogre, the rise of the beats. Its time is now.”

“The moment we live in has agitated this slumbering giant, the dormant illness,” she explained. “These are the Demon Days, and the land it stalks is the on cusp of a thick fog. In another sense it is time to become the Demon. A time for an action, made with less contemplation, but from a disciplined and considered instinct. Strike with perfection and effect…These are Demon days we exist in. We strike to capture the moment. And hope to contain it, in a balance.”

Blur Are Waiting For Coxon’s Return

According to a new interview, Blur frontman Damon Albarn has explained he is waiting for his former bandmate Graham Coxon to rejoin the outfit before starting a new album, while it seems Gorillaz prepare to take their new album out on tour.

Speaking about the inactivity in the Blur camp since the release of 2003's ‘Think Tank’, the last album that Coxon appeared on (albeit only one song), Albarn reiterated his desire to be reunited with his former bandmate for another album.

"I'm waiting for Graham to talk to me again,” he explained to Billboard, “I'd love to see if we could make another record. I miss playing live in something that I grew up in. I do feel it's a shame that we didn't stick to it.

“Hopefully, we'll play together soon. As musicians, we need to spread peace and love."

Until that point, Albarn is busying himself with his animated simian supergroup Gorillaz, whose second album 'Demon Days' is out next week The singer explained that despite the difficulties in touring a ‘fictional’ band he intends to play some live gigs, of a kind.

"As for the show itself, it would be one where the lights
never come up," Albarn continued, "So, if Dennis Hopper [guest vocalist album’s title track] were to walk on stage, you would know it's him by his voice alone - as well as his silhouette."

"It will be like those old cut-out silhouette portraits everyone used to get. Yes, it will all be done by silhouette."

Gorillaz are back and animated as ever

Blur to sue?

Blur's bassist Alex James has revealed that the band are suing each other.

Speaking to Orange World he said: "It's a shame really. I thought we might all get together again for Live 8 and try and save the world but no.

"I think my management and my lawyer are both having mental breakdowns. It's mad, it's the hardest thing ever - a combination of new technology and aging rockstars."

But asked if the legal wrangling was the end of the band James was clear: "No, I wouldn't think so no, no, no!"

Damon Albarn has recently said that he was waiting for estranged guitarist Graham Coxon to return to the band before work could begin on a new Blur album.

Посмотрел выступление Gorillaz на наградах MTV. Если кто видел, расскажите, как это было сделано? Я имею ввиду этих кукольных персонажей, которые без посторонней помощи двигались на сцене.

А альбом "Love Travels At Illegal Speeds" вообще хороший? Рок присутствует?
Запись нового альбома это конечно хорошо,но после альбома "13" BLUR,на мой взгляд,мягко говоря,сдали.А о Gorillaz я даже не думаю -- ну не серьезно право же.
