[@sandrasharber3901]

I’ve never seen Damon smile and laugh so much in an interview..ughhhh will this 25 year crush ever die?!

Thom Yorke definitely needs to be next. That being said, I’m so glad Damon Got recognized here.

It would be nice for Thom to speak to somebody even more depressed than he is 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can listen to this man for hours, what a beautiful mind.

[@carlavelizguerra2527]

and accent, tone and speaking voice... I have spent months listen to every single thing he has created....

[@imemine3]

So true❤

[@deefman123]

I feel like Damon is like a mate i lost in a pub years ago, who i keep hearing about but never get round to meeting. Id love to hang out coz i feel the same attitudes to the world, like he feels about Bowie i feel about him. And Bowie. Much humble respect for the artist collaborator.

[@kirstiegregory9740]

Me too

[@mizunosv]

I like British speech so much. I am Russian, and it is difficult for me to distinguish American from British. but when I found out about Damon Albarn, I listened to his speech and understood how much the pronunciation is different. and realized that I really like the British language!

[@nathaliem.8483]

I could listen to Damon talk for hours

[@MisAnnThorpe]

My guess is that he could too!

[@murrayballard]

What a legend! This interview just isn’t long enough

[@lptomtom]

That dinner and jam with Damon, Paul Simonon and Paul McCartney must've been quite something...

[@Joao-pe8ur]

This is so British. From the topics to the accent, the clothings and even the teeth.

[@gustavoalfaro1245]

Pleeeease, John Squire on this series!!! Not properly interviewed yet. I think Doran is the man for that task

[@CSawM2]

My god, if they somehow manage to get John Squire on here it will be more than an interview it will be a genuine piece of history! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

[@nazz2k8]

Didn't want this interview to end

[@MarkMathewsMusic]

I think this is my favourite interview of the series...as is always the case when Damon is involved! Not only is he one of the greatest songwriters of our generation he is such a fascinating interviewee. I didn't want tit to end!

[@Laenia__]

his speaking voice.... damn

[@tigertigerpantherfox3714]

Damon Albarn is a Treasure to Music!

[@lauramccoy1621]

I could have watched another hour of this. Great interview.

[@karlb4225]

I saw the good the bad the queen in Blackpool and had tears in my eyes throughout, an incredible band. Damons energy is beautiful. Great interview 👌❤️

[@jacksaynor4187]

Great interviewer, well thought out questions and got Damon very engaged (rare)

[@ughhjuan]

Blur - Gorillaz - Everyday Robots - The Bad The Good The Queen 👏 ** Recognizing talent all the way from Los Angeles California , it was a pleasure and honor to tear to your Gorillaz tracks on Oct 20th

[@onyriarojas1579]

Damon is such a god to me is just really wierd for me to see him sitting there talking doing human things, I feel his voice inside of my heart everytime he talks.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Are you aware just how pathetic that sounds?

[@thefuckingprincess219]

Can I just say he looks great for 50 years old ❤️

[@sdawg7632]

Still can’t get over the fact that this is dude does “Woohoo!” and “Windmill, windmill for the land”

[@AnaMarch]

I just love his creative mind, keep making music Damon!

[@stonedcrow5821]

These chats are always really good, even when I'm not especially keen on the artist being interviewed.

[@thehighlandhamster]

Just excellent. Damon is a complete hero...

[@bcpjw]

Damon is someone if Lennon & Macca have a child together with Bowie as his nanny while hanging out with beastie boys

[@theshuriken]

you described it very well!

[@TheChinovnik]

good stuff. apart from the really annoying sound in the background.

[@sratus]

Just let it pass over you. I love it, makes it feel like a dream.

[@grindcoremaniac]

Awesome! Damon Albarn is one of my favorite musicians of all time! Blur and Gorillaz are always on my playlists.

[@Mmxxaamm]

@@sratus I freaking loved it for the very same thing, it's dreamy and accompanies the interview perfectly, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS EVER

[@virtualsnake1994]

so subjective. it's not too bad

[@iHuzza]

Yeah, although it's grown on me it still sounds like something that should be playing in the background of a Salad Fingers video, it's kind of unsettling.

[@bassinblue]

The background music gives me a feeling I'm in a hospital bed gasping for my last few breaths of air as the hospital lights overcome my sight and I fade into an echo.

[@Kkidzz]

John bringing the correct Blur album for Damon to sign.

[@LaughingStock_]

Excellent interview. In Damon the spirit of Ray Davies will live on long beyond the passing of the master.

[@rochfordsnrubbs6855]

Massive appreciation for John still shoehorning Fall questions in every chance he gets ;)

[@lostboi2222]

This man is a genius.

[@catasegovia]

I don't know why when Damon started talking about David being one of his influences, I was so moved by the way he said it.

you gotta do Ian Paice from Deep Purple, Martin Gore from Depeche Mode, Vince Clarke from Erasure/Yazoo/Depeche Mode, Robert Fripp from King Crimson, Arthur Brown from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Pete Townsend (The Who) etc

[@nasskhan4543]

He talks about Brexit but forgets about Moderm Life is Rubbish which was the original Brexit Concept album.

[@jonesy2111]

Anyone against Brexit is a sellout

[@KodakKid]

No Nass, it wasn't. It was a satire album about England. There was a love for England but also a distaste for the less desirable aspects of it.

[@lucasoheyze4597]

Yeah, I think it's more about British culture losing its heart becoming Americanised and corporate than anything to do with Europe

[@benibbotson2014]

Damon Albarn is a legend

[@thehowlingterror]

Love these. Many thanks to all involved.

[@jubileeoutsider8196]

Why is Damon getting hotter and younger HELP 😱🔥😍😵🤤

[@nicolascheradame]

I'm a French fan of Damon's and I've always loved British culture, I'm about the same age as he is. I can't help thinking that in some years' time, when the EU is definitely a thing of the past and we're all relieved it is, Remainers will feel embarrassed looking back at this post Brexit referendum nightmare bullshit. Just saying...

[@hugotellez5740]

Nunca te mueras por favor Damon

God, hearing "why was it time for you to come back after an 11 year break?" made me feel "old" for the first time. I'm not very old but I can remember when that first album came out, and 11 years is a long time.

[@brunatoniatto3036]

Damon is perfect 💜

[@MrDoogy101]

the masters series gives helps colour to a time that was before mine. John Doran is clearly held in high regard by the interviewees which brings out so much more from them. Long may the masters series continue!

[@k-leb4671]

I really hope that collaboration with Erykah Badu surfaces one day...unless Damon was thinking of the song she appears on in Rocketjuice and The Moon, in which case it's already surfaced. And also, speaking of Mark Smith and the Fall, I hope Damon eventually releases that demo of Glitter Freeze that had more of Mark's vocals.
