Damon Albarn: Studio Tour, 'Cracker Island' & Coachella | Apple Music

[@Middle8]

This is one of the greatest Albarn interviews I've seen. Great to see him in his studio and in his element -- usually he seems annoyed to be doing press. Zane is also great in keeping up the enthusiasm while still matching Albarn's mood.

[@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n]

wild that in the 90s there was a damon vs noel debate. when you look at gallagher's output over the next 3 decades compared to albarn it's just no contest. i think noel's a great musician btw and i dont think there has to be competitiveness in music. it's just funny that it was such a debate

[@christopheralthouse6378]

I just hope that, when the time does come, that an equally competent musician can acquire his leftover writings as Damon just doesn’t STOP making music…I can’t imagine just how many awesome songs will be just sitting unrecorded by that time just simply because there’s not enough time for one person to record all of those songs in one lifetime… The number of posthumous Gorillaz hits that would wind up released afterwards could keep fresh Gorillaz content coming out for many MANY years afterwards…😅

[@graememurray964]

'Great to have 2 stadium bands.' What a legend.

[@Visions_in_Toyko]

I remember being at Glastonbury festival the year the Bobby Womacks “the bravest man in the universe” lp was released, and as a long time fan of both Damon and Bobby I went to watch the show. It was obviously incredible as you could imagine as Bobby did half the show centred around the album and the second half around his greatest hits. I remember at one point Damon turning to Bobby and saying “look Bobby, look at all the people that came out to see you” and it melted my soul as it felt like Bobby had doubted whether people would be interested in coming to see this old man of yesteryear perform. The dynamic between the 2 of them was wonderful to watch and listen to and it was obvious that there was a great deal of love and admiration between the 2 men. It will always go down as one of my favourite shows I have ever seen. The following year I was attending the festival and left on the Sunday, as I got into my car and drove the long journey home Bobby Womack started to play over the radio, it was highlights of his show the year prior and the radio presenter announced that Bobby had sadly passed away. Exactly a year to the day from his Glastonbury performance. I had to pull the car over as I was filled with tears and emotions sobbing as his beautiful voice sang through the speakers. Thank you Damon for creating the music and Bobby for everything he brought to all our lives with his talent.

[@samkedwards2032]

I was there too!! That’s why I love Glastonbury, never seen so many people from such diverse backgrounds and groups come together to see all sorts of artists. It was an amazing lineup that year

Zane obviously 'gets' Damon and is able to poke at the things that interest him while trying to elicit answers to questions and just immediately moves on when a topic is skirted, really great to see such a genuine side to him.

[@TunelessBoon]

I’m frequently baffled about why Damon hasn’t really gotten his dues as one of England’s greatest ever songwriters. The quality, range and breadth of imagination throughout his output is staggering. From Blur to Gorillaz, (with the Good, the Bad and the Queen, Mali Music, his solo stuff and many more besides sprinkled throughout) the quality has rarely dipped and I can’t think of many musicians who have been operating at the top of their game throughout four decades (Paul McCartney can’t even claim that, maybe Bowie is the only other who can?). The conversation always involves people like McCartney, Bowie, Kate Bush and the likes of Noel Gallagher (who isn’t a patch on Albarn IMO) but I think Damon is pound-for-pound as a good a songwriter/sonic architect/multimedia powerhouse as any of them. He’s earned his spot in the pantheon of greats for sure.

[@Alexandr7392]

I was born in Fordham, a mile down the road from Damon who lived in Aldham. He went to Stanway School as did I, and then Colchester Sixth Form College, as did I.

I grew up listening to Blur and then Gorilaz and I never quite understood why people used to compare Blur and Oasis musically. They are poles apart.

The fact that Albarn has worked with so many artists is testament to this.
