I love Graham Coxon's first couple of solo albums. I like his later stuff too but those albums didn't have the unpredictability of those first 2.

James 02-10-2012 11:41 AM

Yeah his solo stuff is very good, I prefer it over Gorillaz tbh.

bob. 02-10-2012 12:03 PM

same here :)....actually really never liked gorillaz.....cept for clint eastwood (of course :) )

Goofle 02-10-2012 12:06 PM

Downloading three of his middle albums now. Should be a fun listen considering I actually love Gorillaz.

Urban Hat€monger ? 02-10-2012 12:56 PM

It's a shame he closed down his Transcopic label.
He released some really cool stuff on it.

Hopefully after this Blur thing is done he'll go back to it.

As a result of listening to, and coming to love Demon Days before any Blur album, I am unable to visualize Damon Albarn performing anything at all; it's the little blue cartoon dude.

I'm seeing mentions of Gorillaz and other offshoots.

What about Rocket Juice and The Moon?

There are some low quality live clips on youtube, they're freaking awesome.

yet your only contention against Blur is that Damon sounds like a veggie seller in a market

erm, anything else besides that?

Well when you've got a market trader singing like so, it does take the attention away from the rest of the music. Like all market traders, he can be heard above all and sundry.
