good music from blur...maybe gorrilaz....I just like the video clips..they play like blur

Blur es fresco pero pesado, me encanta quemetan las narices en cosas de niñas que machistas invéciles no harían.La felicidad que me da blur me pone a pensar como son Gorillaz y me encanta, pues el cambio de instrumentos y mezcla a mezclas solas es un riesgo dificil de asumir, además se han creado un nueva imagen vitural que da testimonio del mundo virtual e irreal en que vivimos.

That's the most perceptive thing I've read on this thread and I don't understand a word of it.

"Judging by this steady progress, Damon will probably have written the WORST SONG EVER by next year"
Too late! Starsailor have beaten him to it. I mean, have you heard 'Alcoholic'?

― DG, Monday, 17 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

As bad as Starsailor are, Damon Albarn is some kind of anti-genius, not just incompetent, but possessing the magic gift of being supremely atrocious. Which is sad because I like early Blur. Still, Starsailor are the sort of band that only whipped-up wankshafts who spontaneously ejaculate when any English art-student tosser strums a guitar (cf Coldplay) will ever (pretend to) like them, so nobody outside the UK has to endure them. Gorillaz however are insidious. 19/2000 is Number 1 in New Zealand... poor NZ..

"whipped-up wankshafts"
This is brilliant.

God bless this thread.

'blurlaa'?

― ethan, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"Blurlay" or "Blurlae", I think.

You know, the counterpart to Blurillaz is... GOR.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Okay...first off....how can you even think of comparing Blur and Gorillaz? They're both completely opposites. Just because they both have Damon in them. Blur has been around for over 10 years. And is the best band around. Gorillaz has one single...oh wait...sorry, two. Sure, they're good. but there is no basis on comparing the two. Plus, it's not even like Blur is over with or anything. BLUR WILL ALWAYS RULE

Gorrilaz r better i mean what's better than 4 drunk soundin' Billy Idol's singin' a song bout' Clint Eastwood. Na jus jokin' he Gorrilaz rock.

blur is a good band, gorrillaz is good too.....,but, my band is better.......Dramarama.............i've met blur back in 93 when I was realeasing my vinhl record , and they seemed modest.....well.....by for now, rock on gorillaz!!!!!!!

― john easdale, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i find this forum both inane and boring.lets call a spade a spade here,both blur and gorillaz are mediocre at best.which brings me to my next point,what the hell am i doing here?

off-topic side question to your (amusingly self- appointed 'interesting') side question: didn't Tricky do a cover of "Ghost Town" with Terry Hall of the Specials? It was on a single somewhere. I sought for that mp3 for quite a while, never found it. If anyone hear has heard it, let me know if it's worthwhile.

I was waiting for my girl at some hip clothing store in Iceland last spring when I first saw the Blurillaz video -- on a massive, wall- spanning screen. good video. They were piping in some crap British R&B, so I couldn't hear the music, and not knowing the artist behind the video tormented me for months ... I think I eventually saw it on MTV.

Max Headroom strikes me as the first 'animated' fictional TV corporate avatar ... though the whole idea also makes me think of William Gibson's "Idoru" ...

Whatever happened to Greg Scarth? Perhaps he had a nasty accident...oh dear.

I R wanting someone to walk accross Albarns head in large metal diving boots, putting an end to both forms of useless rubbish.

I really have to make a decision - THIS IS HELL. anything to do w/ damon albarn sucks shit.

― bob snoom, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Damon Albarn is a hottie

― Becky, Tuesday, 6 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Toni Kukoc?!?!?!?!?!?!

― Ally, Tuesday, 6 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Gorillaz is an experimental band, I think of it as 13.5 (if you have to ask what 13 is then please leave) It is Damon + co experimenting with something new, not all of it works but at least it is trying something different, it isn't stagnating in one style. I believe they are going in the same direction as the Beatles, not in style or content, but in different styles, pushing new bounds, trying new things, without inovation we may as well be dead.

― Steven Mileham, Wednesday, 7 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

BLURILLAZ!

"It's a little a Burrito...except its filled with monkey droppings!"

The Beatles and Burritos?

It's getting serious.

― Kim, Wednesday, 7 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

13 was a Blur album, right? Gorillaz would be interesing if it did explore any new ground. But Damon and Co.'s take on hip-hop seems about 15 years off.

This is the thread that will never die.

― Ally, Wednesday, 7 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeah, but it's not just hip hop goddamn it!! Grrrr

― Steven Mileham, Wednesday, 7 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

neither is as good as EMF

That's unbelievable.

shiboom!

― bob snoom, Wednesday, 7 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Geezus, not that anyone gives a fuxor about awards shows or gorillaz- hatin' anymore, but watching the MTVE awards and seeing a clip of albarn talking about injecting some intelligence into this mainstream culture 'we have to put up with' while 'get the cool shoeshine!' plays in the background makes me see red. What are they doing in the company of "Romeo"? And then a snarkily bemused albarn takes home best 'dance' act! I hate awards shows. I might just be warming to "can't get you outta my head", though. And there were a *lot* of girls on stage for 'Girls,Girls,Girls".

BLUR rox so does gorrilaz put them together in an animation and name them Blurrillaz... THAS ALL THERE IS TO IT!!

― Marcus Bass, Sunday, 11 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I like Gorrliaz better than blur, though neither have come out with a new song yet. Blur's songs are a little too redundant to me. A quick shout out ----- If anybody can find actual photos of the band gorrlias, (actual pics) no cartoons now. Please tell me or you can address me as Nikki. Reach me at : fmsimmons@zaftique.com thanks lots! bye = * muah!

ONCE AGAIN THE YANKS( yes you good all U.S.A ) MANAGE TO SUPRISE ME WITH THRE BAD TASTE IN MUSIC ( AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE ). I THINK BOTH GORRILAZ AND BLUR ARE GOOD GROUPS AND A LOT better than 99.99% off all american bands feel

― lyndon harrison, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

we not all yanks! ps. how do 99.99% of american bands feel?

There's a sentence in here trying to fight its way to the surface.

If any of you were smart enough to look on the booklet thingie in their album the rapper or Murdoc is Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. Neat huh? well he is the cousin of ice cube and he doesnt rap aboput violence and hoes and stuff. he raps about public transportation and other things. some of his raps are pretty cool and funny. you can see more info on cdnow.com but i suggest downloading some of his songs like if you must. Dan the automator does the song with him ItS HILARIOUS. i have to say that the rock the house video is REALLY MESSED UP. I like the 19-2000 video. Play the simulation on their webpage! their album is the best 16 bucks i spent.

― Jorge!, Saturday, 1 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

also If You Must is in the game Tony hawk 3. I originally liked blur but only song 2 but now i looking for music from all the bands in gorillaz. the gorillaz rock period. im not a rap fan but del makes some good raps. left hand suzuki method just really kicks ass.

― Jorge!, Saturday, 1 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i love the gorrilaz and wouldnt mind giving david and murdoc a good ass raping and spanking, if anyone shares the same fellings as me email me to bentham2000_99@yahoo.com

John Easdale posted to this thread and I missed it? DAMMIT! *lights candle in Dramarama's memory*

OFF COURSE BLUR!!!!!!!!!! gorillaz is shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you prefer an animated band who's concerts are behind the curtains and who's music is crappy, shit-eating, son of tricky dicky rap. Shame on you Damon........you were a fine lad on blur. Also I heard they're going to release a colaboration with slim shitty and D-12. That's awful. Blur's the best. Songs like this is a low, beetlebum, on your own, the universal, the swamp song are BETTER than any gorillaz song like 19-2000. What a fucking crap, sounds like kindergarden music. I miss Graham's guitar, Alex's bass, David's drums............and Damon's natural way of behaving. I'm waiting for their next album. Well this is for Gorillaz fans: If you like so much animated things why don't you go to hell and wait for the Sezame Street or Teletubbies soundtrack to enjoy. In the emantime let us, the fine ear, enjoy good music!!!!! Long live BLUR.

― donyi ponji, Thursday, 27 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think what Simon Price said about them in the 'Independent' year- end round-up was a bit much. 'Casual racism'!?

― dave q, Thursday, 27 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, but Price = arch Manics fan.
