"monkeys will start pullin blur albums outta their ass"
Will this decrease their re-sale value at the Record Exchange?

dg, that's two dreadfully unfunny jokes in the last eight posts, i recommend you break for a while and let us prepare for your next 'comedy' bomb.

Ethan wants something funny, so as apparently I am not funny, I'll let Ethan do the talking:
"dude, nobody is gonna go to a forum to chat about stupid crap when they're used to doing it here."
Now go here for the evidence.

Oh, come on, can't you be a bit more constructive than that? You're a shambles, man.

― Greg, Saturday, 1 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I REALLY hope Greg doesn't have a nasty accident in the near future. No, really.

― DG, Saturday, 1 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I hope DG doesn't either because it would be cruel to want anyone to have an accident.

― Greg, Sunday, 2 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Exactly. I really really REALLY hope Greg doesn't have a nasty accident.

― DG, Sunday, 2 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

In that case, I hope the divine Elsie doesn't have an accident. I don't even know her.

― Greg, Sunday, 2 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't know who the divine Elsie is, but I'm sure if I did I'd be aware that she wouldn't want you to have a terrible, terrible accident. Especially as you're involving people you don't know in this bout of hoping people don't have accidents.

Am I the only person who thinks that "19/2000" is a FAR SUPERIOR song to "Clint Eastwood"?

― Dan Perry, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dan - No you're not, even though 'tis undoubtedly not a very good record, sounds like Albarn has remembered he can write a good pop song if he needs to. Shame he couldn't do it with Blur again, then.

― Bill, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think "19/2000" is FAR INFERIOR to "Clint Eastwood". And "CE" is already rather dreadful, but we've covered that.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm with you, Mitch. 19/2000 is far worse. It's by far the worst single of the year, possibly the worst song of the last 20 years. But I know Damon Albarn is capable of worse. I have a theory that he is on an quest to write the WORST SONG EVER. Look at the pattern of his singles:

No Distance Left To Run (really really really bad) Music Is My Radar (really fucking dreadful) Clint Eastwood (ear-bleedingly horrendous) 19/2000 (get the cool shoe-shine? the lyrics are better than the music, but only because the music is SO UTTERLY SHIT)

Judging by this steady progress, Damon will probably have written the WORST SONG EVER by next year.

― EdwardO, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

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

― hafxal, Thursday, 13 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

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.

― Billy Dods, Friday, 14 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

gorillaz is the best, n ill fight till the end!

"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..

― EdwardO, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"whipped-up wankshafts"
This is brilliant.

― DG, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

God bless this thread.

Bring it on back, y'all. B to the L to the U to the R to the L A izzy.

'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.

― me, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

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.

Damon Albarn is a hottie

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!"

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

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.

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

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
