Damon Albarn (2)

Posted on by

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Blur’s album Parklife. The singer has said there’ll only be an anniversary show if we have a 2nd referendum. In other words, we won’t have to suffer his crappy music if Brexit goes ahead.

Please promise us that, Damon!!

  1. Apparently it’s also the 30th anniversary of the Stone Roses album…
    Great album..
    Great days…
    Makes you feel old tho..
    Damon’s a cunt… Always was..

    • I remember when the album came out… I still have my original, with the raised lemons on the cover… I used to see Reni regularly in Megson’s art materials shop on Fountain Street in Mcr… A good and modest bloke… He never mentioned the Roses or that he was in them… A lot of people would act the cunt and give it the ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ shite (see you, Hucknall, you cunt!), but Reni never did and still doesn’t… Fucking great drummer too…

  2. I didn’t rate their music (or them) 25 years ago and nobody could pay me enough to go see the remainer cunts now, so why don’t they just fuck off to that very big house in the cuntry.

  3. He’s always been a useless tosser.

    Hated Oasis because of the cunts in it but musically they were streets ahead of the very bland band Blur.

    • Sorry Wills but can’t agree with your statement “musically they (Oasis) were streets ahead of the very bland band Blur”

      Noel plagiarised The Beatles / John Lennon mercilessly. During the whole Britpop Blur vs Oasis gobshite, Oasis released Roll With It up against Blur’s Country House – Pick up a guitar, play along with both then come back and tell me Blur were streets behind ! (Roll With It using a hackneyed chord sequence).

      That said – not a fan of either band. To this day, Damon Albarn can’t sing in tune and neither can Liam Gallaghunt

      Noel gains points for supporting Leave though !

      • Each to their own Seymour.

        Admired and grew up with the Beatles so this may have influenced my preference,

        Stand by my preference.

      • and so you should, Sir. TBH I always preferred Paul Simon’s song writing during the same period. As you rightly say – each to their own.

        As an aside – Is that Stan and Ollie film worth buying when it comes out on DVDVD ?

      • Saw Stan and Ollie twice at the cinema.

        If you love Laurel and Hardy, reckon it is well worth buying, think it comes out early June.

        Not a laugh a minute but a moving, respectful, well acted and interesting look at their career and friendship in the more difficult latter years.

  4. Albarn and the cheese farmer, fucking shite, don’t know how they got away with it.

    The Roses however, different gravy, different class.
    Spent yesterday listening to the Roses and Suede and smoking weed.
    Having trouble accepting the fact I’m getting old….

  5. It’s got nuffink to do wiv your mockney accent and everyfink to do with your middle-class upbringing.

    Hoo-ee, what a absolute cunt.

    • There is nothing more ridiculous than ageing popsters whose brains have been addled by years of excess, and basic lack of intelligence, holding forth about matters of state. Load of arsewipes should go on tour with Lord Adonis.

  6. All-Bran is a plagiarising cunt who sings like Brian Blessed with a paper cut on his bellend.

    The cunt couldn’t stop himself from ripping off Syd Barrett’s tunes, the biggest fraud being their “There’s no other way” (See Emily Play). Depressing dirges.

    Fuck him.

  7. You know he’s a cunt because no-one’s heard of him since Parklife, the lazy talent-less, barn dwelling cunt. Searched for him on Google and every other cunt from that era came up streets ahead. He made up an imaginary band fer fucks sake. Gorillaz. Say what you will about Oasis, Noel Gallagher had more talent in his japs eye than Albarn.
    Stone Roses fan myself. I have fond memories of days of cruising around Otago NZ and listening to Stone Roses while fonged out on the local produce. Good sunshine hours in that part of NZ.

    • I’d never heard of The Stone Roses until I did a bit of research. Years ago there used to be a Championship highlights show on TV. The music they used for the main titles and commercial breaks was freaking ace. I loved it. Some research later revealed it to be Fools Gold by The Stone Roses. Still love that song.

      Anyone else remember that dreamy music they used for the Embassy World Professional Snooker championship highlights show, late on BBC2. Back in the day with David Vine, Tony Gubba presenting? It took me years to find out it was To The Unknown Man by Vangelis. Beautiful piece of music.

    • The Britpop thing almost completely passed me by. It didn’t really make a blip on my radar until the patron saint of music, Jaz Coleman, said in an interview Killing Joke won’t release another album or tour again until the passing fad of Britpop had dissipated. It did and then they did and the world was a better place once again.

      I remember hearing about Oasis, but I assumed they were one of those studio/electronic/no-talent duos who pump out the sort of crap I’d imagine goes down a storm at raves. You know the kind of thing – so-called music that sounds like a broken car alarm. Little did I know they were a guitar band. I ended up with 4 Oasis albums, What’s The Story (Morning Glory) being my favourite. That said, there are some really awful songs on that album (Don’t Look Back In Anger, Cast No Shadow, She’s Electric).

      I saw Oasis in Minneapolis quite a few years back. They were awful. I was very surprised and quite disappointed. We left after 30 minutes of torture.

      So I hate Oasis the least.

      • Evening IY. “Don’t Look Back” opens by plagiarising John Lennon’s “Imagine”, then shifts into “Let It Be” by The Beatles.

        “She’s Electric” is a re-working of John Lennon’s Instant Karma.

        (Just to back you up on your loathing of Oasis) !

      • Hey Seymour. I bow to your greater knowledge regarding Oasis’ influences (ahem). I avoid all things Beatles related like I would radioactive waste. Been pondering why lately…I think because my single buying days didn’t start until 1978 and almost straight away I gravitated towards dark, haunting, edgy, moody and slightly unnerving kinds of music. From what I’ve heard, The Beatles didn’t operate in that territory. I can’t stand 99.999% of pop music. Never have. Too superficial and lightweight for me. Each to their own.

      • Evening IY – 1979 was, for me, the best year for albums – Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned, Coming Up For Air by Penetration – an era which will never be seen again, sadly.

        BTW – No need to bow, Sir – I’m here at cunt level !

      • Seymour – Thou speaketh no lie regardeth 1979.
        WHAT a year!!! September ’79 saw the release of the best album ever recorded. None other than The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan. Before that we’d had Replicas at #1 in the album chart at the same time Are ‘Friends’ Electric? was #1 in the singles chart. Followed by TPP at #1 in albums and Cars at #1 in singles. Lovely stuff.

        Not for everyone’s tastes I’m sure, but the diversity of chart music back then was amazing. Best Damned song for me is In Dulce Decorum. Quite beautiful. Link for anyone who’s unfamiliar:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12kkLT65fM0

      • Good stuff Seymour.

        ‘154’ by Wire, and ‘Half Machine Lip Moves’ by Chrome were probably my favourite albums of 1979.

      • Hey Mecha –
        I got to meet the band (sans Geordie) last September in Houston. What an honour to shake the hand of Jaz. He was so amazingly lovely to everyone. Youth was a riot and really funny and Big Paul…..let me tell you….

        I took along a CD copy of Brighter Than A Thousand Suns for the band to sign. Jaz signed the booklet’s front cover – obviously. Then it was Big Paul’s turn. In the booklet his picture is opposite Paul Raven’s. He immediately signed Raven’s picture with “RIP Raven” before signing his own picture. What a class act that man is.

        Think I might work out to some Killing Joke later. Absolute Dissent hasn’t had an airing for a while.
        Cheers – IY.

    • At a push I hated oasis music the least but hate Liam Gallagher the most!
      Although blur were cunts to a man I never felt the urge to punch any of them ….. both Gallaghers were annoying but “ I got beat up in Berlin by Russian gangsters “ who actually turned out to be estate agents Liam was by far the biggest cunt this Brit pop side of Jarvis cocker!! 😡

      • ‘Cool’ Britannia. Noel is always shown meeting Blair but I think Albarn was there as well. Or thereabouts. He was a believer anyway. Dreadful cynicism in his voice, the songs. . At least Oasis were honest, more authentic. Mind you I couldn’t be paid to listen to then now.

  9. I have 2 Blur albums, Leisure (for ‘There’s No Other Way’) and their best of (for ‘Song 2’ and ‘Coffee and TV’). I don’t feel there is or was anything particularly special or original about them. They’re one of those bands that, for me, made a few decent songs which I quite liked and many (the most popular/commercial) which I hated. Albarn’s affected common-as-muck vocal style I find particularly grating. I honestly believe their running spat with Oasis helped market the band and gave them more exposure than they would otherwise have got or deserved.

  10. Albarn is a Pretentious Essex cunt!!
    The whole band were fucking pretentious pseudo intellectual Essex cunts!
    Though Alex James wasn’t born in Essex ( Bournemouth) he still became an Essex cunt by association…..
    I distinctly remember him wearing a GERMAN National team football shirt in a blur video? Fucking COCK OFF you bellend …..

    Unfortunately I was born in Essex and lived there for 30 years and I’m a cunt! Just not a pretentious one……

  12. Self important cunt.

    I fucking hate all these so called celebs who think they know better that us common cunts.

  13. Not bragging here, I can’t help where I lived and whom I used to know, but by sheer default I knew Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree of Blur, they were just part of a larger group of like-minded people who hung out in the pubs where we knew that we weren’t going to get our heads filled in by the squaddies and casuals of Colchester. They WERE actually decent geezers, at least back then.

    Albarn – totally different kettle of cunt. – never hung out with the rest of us, didn’t even know who the cunt was until Blur formed. But soon realised that he was poncey fucking wank stained arsewipe.

    I met Graham Coxon’s mum a few years later, I will quote her directly: ‘ I know Damon’s a cunt but he made my son a millionaire!’ But I suppose that makes Coxon a cunt as well in some ways, particularly after they kicked him out of the band and only let him back in when they needed him…he should have told them all to get fucked. And now Rowntree has aspirations of becoming a Labour MP, at least he fly to hustings in his self-piloted helicopter….cunt.

  14. Sorry as it’s completely off point…
    Although I’m no football fan I’m listening to my home team Brighton v Newcastle , the gulls are fighting for their premier league lives which is bad enough!! Got talk sport on and one of my England heroes Stuart Pearce is commentating? Brilliant inspirational footballer but shouldn’t be within a 1000 miles of microphone……
    He sounds like he’s either fallen down two flights of stairs backwards or has done 12 very one sided rounds with Anthony Joshua !! FFS…..
    Microphone mugger!!

    • If you want a total cunt on Talksport try that fuckpig Jim fucking White. I absolutely hate that shouty , preachy PC cunt. I understand he’s a reformed alcoholic….. I wish he would go back to being a pisshead, at least then he would have an excuse for rambling on like a cunt. Pearcy is Oscar Wilde by comparison.

      • OMG Freddie – you are so right! That accent he has. Jeez! He has no place on radio. I know Brazil is also of a Scots persuasion, but the way White speaks….it rubs me the wrong way. Absolutely horrid. I also can’t stand Adrian Durham. I wish he would choke to death on air.

      • Durham is a total wanker who says ridiculous provocative bullshit just to wind cunts up and get them phoning in. He’s another PC cunt who shouldn’t be on a sports station. Needs to fuck off to the BBC.

  15. Blur and Oasis were as poor as each other and on the same level as the spice girls to me. Just didn’t get the hype. Supergras were the only Brit pop band I ever had time for but they went under the radar. Noel and Liam’s solo projects are there to remind me how crap they still are.

    • Sun Hits The Sky – Excellent Bass playing. Richard III – They used it on Top Gear when the drummer’s Dad was amongst the presenters.

      Fuck Blur and Oasis !

      • Agree. ‘In It For The Money’ and ‘Supergrass’ (the 3rd album) were excellent.

  16. Detested the thick posturing rip off cunts of Oasis. The Rutles were better.
    Blur piss poor pretend cockney cunts. Heard them live on something and they didn’t sound too clever.
    Pulp my only fond memory of the decade of the Spunk Girls and Fuck That.

    • Pulp, Mansun, and Super Furry Animals (fellow countrymen of yours Cuntstable?) were streets ahead of Oasis and Blur.

      Cool Britannia was contrived just like everything else about New Labour.

      • Afternoon RTC. What was the name of that Britpop band whose singer looked like a monkey?

      • YES! Thank you RTC – this has been bugging me so thanks for putting me out of my misery. Doing an interweb search for ‘britpop singer who looks like a monkey’ wasn’t getting the job done.

  17. What an arrogant, entitled stroppy mardy cunt he is!

    Typical attitude of stomping feet, crying like a girl and rubbing his eyes for effect just because he can’t get his way!

    Well if there isn’t a 2nd ref, does that mean he will give up on a nice early pension top up by not touring? I think not. Just like those west coast cunts in the States when Trump became president and they all bleated “Trump must step down otherwise I’m moving to Canada!”

    And where are these cunts right now?

    • All the cunts we’re moving to Canada!!
      Snoop doggy bolllocks
      Alec Baldwin
      Taylor swift
      Jay z
      Beyoncé
      Etc etc …….
      all going!!
      And precisely how many actually went?
      Fucking cunts!

    • Exactly where they were before
      At home in Hollywood or Beverly Hills etc etc ……
      These virtue signaling cunts have absolutely no shame whatsoever…….
      it’s all about the “sound bite “ get the bull shit out there……..
      Ride the wave …….

      • Not forgetting
        Kunty Perry
        Miley Cyrus
        Jennifer Lawrence
        Skanklett Johansscunt
        Todger Gaga
        Devil Streep
        Tom Wanks
        Stephen Cuntbert

        Clintonite cunts and virtue signaling libfucks, one and all…
        Viva Big Don!

      • Yeh those cunts as well Norman …
        All off to Canada apparently?
        How many have gone?
        A big fat Zero!

  18. Who are these people complete mystery to me a complete 100% musical ignoramus, could never understand all the pretentious crap talked about music and musicians, those twats playing instruments pulling stupid faces striking warrior poses with their guitars.

  19. Roses weren’t all that. I saw them first time round, Ian Brown couldn’t hold a tune in a bucket and the first album had maybe 5 seven and a half tracks on it. Second album was better. And for me Ian Brown’s solo stuff has been better than that. But he is still a total dick. As for John squire: he went on newsnight a few years ago having a tantrum because he was swearing the stone roses would never reform, etc.

    Saw the roses again 2 years ago. 75 quid a ticket, 6 quid a plastic cup of Carlsberg to watch them churn out pretty much the same set as the last time I saw them.

    I feel sorry for Reni, the genuine heart and soul and talent of that band and even he bailed out about a week into the first reunion calling Ian Brown a cunt onstage….

  20. As for Albarn, he’s an insufferable prick but I think a very good songwriter. Every blur single sounds completely different but still the work of the same band. Not many bands can do that.

  21. Wasn’t there a rumour about this cunt having to go to hospital to have his stomach pumped of spunk, or was that some other wanker?
    Time was when musicians used to shag birds, get fucked with drugs and smash up hotels…….sex, drugs and rock and roll. Now they back the money men and the banks and lick the arse of fucking bent politicians in the hope of getting a knighthood.
    It’s a good job a lot of my heroes died when they did…….imagine Jimi Hendrix turning into a fucking remoaner or ranting about Tangoman like a spoilt millennial child. Ugh!……doesn’t bear thinking about.

    • Rumour/urban legend. . Variously attributed to Marc almond, Prince, Marilyn Manson, etc…

      • Well if it’s just a story it may as well be this little remoaner faggot. Yes, i’ve just decided it was him.
        Fucking dirty cocksucker. Typical fucking remoaner, can’t swallow enough jizz.

  22. Give me The Who any day of the week not this bunch of Blairite pussies. They look like a load of anorexic trannies in that photo. Roger Daltrey can tell these poofs what to do with their Peoples Vote, the wankers.

    • Saw the Who live several times Freddie. When Keith Moon was in the line up. Awesome.

      Have always liked Daltry for his straight talking and down to earth approach.

    • Same here, and throw in the Rolling Stones too!

      Always preferred the Stones over the Beatles, even though I accept the latter created a new era of pop music back in the 60s.

      But for me I like my music with a little bit of edge, and the Who and the early Rolling Stones had that in spades. And both always offer good value when seen live in concert.

      As for Blur, Oasis and Pulp – yes, they have a place in the pantheons of British music, but they all sit in the shadows of the three bands that really put Britrock and Britpop on the world map and kept it there for decades!

      • Spare a thought for The Pretty Things – Beatles, Stones & Who all rolled into one!

      • Although Rod Stewart hasn’t done anything decent since the mid 70s, Faces were a top band….

        Saw Joy Division in 79…. Curtis was like a force of nature…

      • Small Faces were more my speed.

        Joy Division “Closer” is epic… I remember being obsessed by ‘The Eternal’ and ‘Decades’.

      • I have a hard time with Joy Division, RTC. On some levels I should like them, but I find them hard work. I hear a lack of immediacy in their stuff. I base this on only having the compilation Substance in my collection. Apart from the Love Will Tear….are there some other essential tracks I could focus on to ‘get it’ as it were? Ta.

      • For Joy Division I’d recommend having a listen to dead souls, transmission, digital, she’s lost control, shadowplay, isolation, ceremony (later a new order track), glass, Warsaw. To
        Name but a few

      • “Faces were a top band”

        The only thing I really liked Rod Cuntewart in was his short lived time in the jeff beck group norm. I’m not gonna pretend to like the faces when i only liked a song or two but they were okay marriotts small faces was way better…

        People say rods a amazing singer but i don’t agree hes hardly varied I ironically like Jeff Becks half assed singing more even tho that obviously wasn’t his strong suit

      • Thanks Gary & RTC for your Joy Division tips. I will undertake the necessary listening research. Ta muchly.

  23. Yes Oasis were dogshiiiiiite…..Blur far better musically and with breadth and profundity.

    Doesnt excuse the cunt tho .

    Ever noticed that a sleb will never ever ever advance a moral position contrary to the status quo. These people are masters at social skills and always say the right thing that ingratiate them with the majority. cunts

  24. Blur have a permanent position on my dead pool, with Queen, Beatles, Phil Collins and Duran Duran. Just the thought makes me feel ill.

    • Yes I mention Phil in my bedside prayers every night.

      “And dear baby Jesus in heaven, if you get a chance please afflict Phil Collins with terminal scrotal leprosy or similar”

  25. Sid Vicious got it just about right. Rock n Roll in the raw, didn’t give a shit, and then died. Although it was probably a bit naughty killing Nancy Spunkbucket. She probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer anyway. Who cares ?
    So it’s goodnight from me, and it’s Fuck Off from him.

    • Vicious (as much as I like him) was a fraud. They only drafted him in for his appearance after they’d made it. The cunt couldn’t even play the bass and had the talent of a soggy cum tissue.

  27. I have no problem with people disagreeing with Brexit. But I have a huge problem with posh, famous twats, especially has beens like Allbran, thinking they have a God given right to make demands just because the referendum didn’t go the way they thought it would. You lost, fuck knuckle. It sucks, but that happens in life. We don’t always get what we want.

    Democracy, is majority rule. At least, it USED to be. These days, democracy seems to be whatever a bunch of dummy spitting losers and liars decide it is. A second referendum would be a betrayal of democracy. Worse still, it would be a betrayal of every man and woman who has died to defend this country’s democracy. And it would set a precedent for every future election in the UK, because if those cunts get their way, and we have a second referendum, we will then have the right to demand a second vote for every local and general election.

    Albarn is on a par with that other whingeing, has been remainer prick, Suggs. Last year, he a had a whinge about Brexit. He even said that he didn’t want Brexiteers listening to the music of Madness, because it wasn’t for everyone. Apparently it’s, ‘London’ music. An odd comment for someone from Hastings to make, but hey, I’m happy to oblige and not listen to Madness anymore. Incidentally, after he made that comment, I sent an email asking if he would refund the money I’d spent on his ‘London’ music since the eighties. Still waiting for a reply.

    • Right there with you, QDM. I wish members of the entertainment industry would stick to their primary jobs and not pontificate on political or social issues as if they are some self-appointed spokesperson, using their fame/platform to preach their personal views. Align with a good cause or charity, fine but that’s where I feel it should end. It’s also potentially very divisive and could turn people away from their creative endeavours. Like most things in life, if these cunts’ income streams were badly affected by mouthing off, they’d soon STFU.

      • I remember Suggs bleating on about the “obscene” Falklands conflict not long after it was over.
        Fast forward 35 years and the cunt is on a Quest TV documentary about tank restoration, wanking himself daft over military vehicles.
        Some pacifist…😆

      • Madness are well overrated and loved by oafs… Much like Oasis… The Specials (originally) were ace though…. Blur just do very bad Syd Barrett and Ray Davies rip-offs….

        Most Britpop was shite… Suede were alright and The Verve were good…. Some of the crap though? Elastica (what an ugly cunt she was!), Dodgy, Reef, Menswear, Sleeper…. Utter bollocks… And Gay Dad and also Kenickie, with ‘Lauren Laverne’? Oh, my fucking sides… I haven’t stopped laughing yet….

    • Good Morning Judge is my fave 10cc track. I remember that being on the radio a lot when I was a kid. Good band for sure.

      • Do the Wall St Shuffle summed up the city years before we realised what cunts they were.

      • Haven’t we always known they were cunts Cuntstable?

        As a 15 year old I assumed ‘Piggies’ by George Harrison was about big business and the city.

      • 10cc’s Sheet Music and Original Soundtrack albums leave piss poor Kinks and Beatles impersonations like Parklife and Definitely Maybe standing…

        Free were also great… Kossoff had more talent than Albarn and Bluenose cunt Gallagher combined…

        And Floyd were also ace in their prime… Although Mr Waters does come across as a cunt…

  29. I’m surprised with all this talk of Oasis nobody mentioned those other talented whores All Saints who, as it turned out, were just talentless tit slappers who mostly spent their fame and fortune by getting said knickers down for the brothers grim.

    If, of course they weren’t stoned off their heads. Cunts.

  30. Albarn can go fuck himself, he hasn’t released a good album since Gorillaz – Demon Days. Have to admit Blur musically were a very good bad, as someone else pointed out here earlier every single (and album for that fact) sounded different but still from the same band and not many bands can lay claim to that. Sadly unless you’ve checked them out properly a lot of the songs their known for are their shitty commercial pop tracks, but then again I know people who have said the same when I’ve mentioned liking the Beatles/Stones – “they’ve only got pop songs” (heathen bastards!).
