Lol a has been from the Brit pop days of the 90s who doesn’t get it.
Gasp! (with extreme sarcasm).

His whole interview was more masked envy and projection rather than having anything worth saying.

I guess we’ll find out if his music is any good or not, since I haven’t heard anything from him since Parklife…some 28 years ago.


Good luck with that…and good luck at your gigs at Disney (I’m sure the snow-bird vacationers will love it.

Is he gonna wear some Mickey ears at the show?

the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler!

Who's Damon Albarn anyway? Parklife and Song No. 2? What else remains in light?

I always have a good laugh when has-been artists like him feel the need to rip the Stones.

Nothing outrageous about that. Just an opinion. Considering the fact that he is not into reunions it's a natural conclusion.

I don't hear any envy in his short remarks. He also says that he loves the Stones. And to say that DA hasn't done anything except Blur is fantasy. He has released around 15 excellent albums, that stay with or ahead of the times. Solo, with Gorillaz, Good, Bad & Queen.

Huh, never heard anything he’s done since Parklife

Didn't know who he was until I read the article then saw he was with Blur. Only song of theirs I know is that Whoo Hoo song that I heard played at hockey games for a while.

I don't doubt that artists could release "around 15 excellent albums" since their heyday while at the same time slowly slipping into obscurity, I simply doubt that artists should tell other artists what to do. It usually stinks, in particular if it comes from someone in DA's position.

Oh yes, he says that he loved (not: loves) the Stones, but only "in their heyday".

OUCHeeeeee !!!!!



ROCKMAN

Taylor!!!

But it starts to look like mr. Albarn got the media attention he wanted by picking up about the two biggest names in business to mock. Sounds a bit too intentional.

Poor Taylor. She’s got co-writers on almost all her songs.
What a fool.

…but did she get her scarf back?

Poor Mick. Poor Keith. They've got co-writers on almost all their songs.
What fools.

(irony off)

From the article:

"Co-writing is very different to writing. I’m not hating on anybody, I’m just saying there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes.”

WOW so true, a "big difference" indeed. He's really got his head screwed on. So idiot simpletons like Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards and Gilbert & Sullivan were just cowriters.

How weak. They should look to people like Damon Albarn who is the real deal.

Fab haircut too.

We could debate this forever I suspect, but just how many, say, Lennon-McCartney compositions are genuine 50/50 collaborations? About a dozen? The reality is that they wrote separately much of the time, yet chipped-in on each-others’ individual works. I’ve always felt that Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richards, etc, is for publishing and royalty purposes. They’re not really a writing partnership. What did Jagger contribute before he could strum a few chords? A lyric here and there? Before ’68, Keith was the primary songwriter. In a nutshell: they all write individually. Beyonce and Taylor Swift having ‘co-writers’ is different, in my opinion. I wouldn’t be shocked if, any their case, it was code for ‘ghost writer’

Does she? On Red Deluxe she wrote 13 songs by herself.

Basically, I don't believe Albarn had the likes of Lennon-McCartney in mind when he mentioned 'co-writers' I suspect he's referring to the likes of Taylor Swift who use others to, perhaps, help them write songs.

I love Albarn. Blur is one on my all time favorite bands. Such a great band, also live. Gorillaz very cool to.

Indirectly, Albarn is putting his finger on a developent in music today: The amount of producers and others who join in to write songs with major artists. Hence producing becomes songwriting.

That may lead to the artist's voice or signature sound vanishing from the music a bit in the process, compared to how it used to be.

Possibly, but what has this got to do with the topic "Damon Albarn rips The Rolling Stones"?

Ha ha, come to think of it, Carl Falk springs to mind, for the upcoming Stones-album!

However, I was thinking of Albarn's criticism of Taylor Swift here.

Well if he's using 'code', then he should just up and say she's a fraud. Or he could alternatively shut the hell up because he doesn't actually have a clue.

These mundane musings from a 90s has been are only entertaining because we can scoff at the ideas a bit.

He's desperate for some attention and it's pathetic.

Not to mention The Good, the Bad, and the Queen, his solo material, and the many other various collaborations he's been involved with over the years.
A true artist who is continuously creating.

I like some of his work - went to see the John Dee opera - but was never much of a Blur fan, and liked Gorillaz only when they had Mark E Smith on, but what in god's name has he done with his HAIR? Some kind of specially aged mullet ...

Parklife is brilliant. Very British. "It's got nothing to do with Vorsprung
