Damon Albarn - France 2021 - Big O

Beautiful stuff and I quite forgot to mention this one . . . . . . probably because its from Big O who's comments section is getting worse in sheer levels of abuse, racism and sexism and general troll abuse nd their previously wonderful newsletter seem to have stopped now . . . . . .but they posted this the other day and it is uniformly excellent . Damon was on Jools Holland's late show late last year and again engaging and almost mesmerising to watch and listen too

I love GORILLAZ! and anything Damon does is usually alright by me. I bought pretty much everything Blur did and admired Damon and guitarist Graham Coxon in particular  . . . . this was the first single outside that incarnation that made me sit up and say
hey! wassappenin? . . . . . .
