Modern Day Blur

I can't believe i download kaiser chiefs - employment just because of this. my curious ear's tingling as they mentioned Blur more than one times. Yes kaiser chiefs is the new Blur they said. i've heard about kaiser chiefs is a modern day of blur. but it's the article above who encourage me to download the album.. ahahaha i remember laughing at my lil brother when he played Kaiser Chief loudly from iTunes. and i remember how i hated this band so much. my friend Tiaz who had lived in Leeds, once said to me that this band was freakin arrogant. blah. to download their album doesnt mean i could be liking' em. hehehe but no one knows the future, not even damon. (???)

and i found this funny posting about Damon and Ricky Wilson from chiefs are identical twins separated at birth. hahahaha..

Damon Albarn Sings Arabic?

as a request from Sally can wait. here's something about The Good, The Bad, and The Queen.

Actually i don't have any news about TGTBTQ lately. but this one is tingling my ears. i just downloaded their bootleg, live at Koln, Germany on 2007. and i found this quirk song named Mr Whippy.
First, Damon introduced the song in i-don't-understand-the lingo. then he started the keyboard tunes..(which is so damon) then he sang in i-don't-understand-the lingo, something about Islam he said before in the introduction, then i thought he sang in Arabic. WUT WUT?? cool!! but weird!!
So i search it in last.fm (okay, don't try searching a song in last.fm:p), cos i really curious, did he really sing arabic? then they give me a name, Eslam Jawaad. He's an Iraq rapper. they did a collaboration in this song which appear in TGTBTQ Herculean CD. The videos on youtube said so.

Try it!

Mr. Whippy - The Good The Bad and The Queen

at this point, i knew that TGTBTQ had collaborated with Eslam Jawaad in Mr.Whippy. But in this song, why does it sound like Damon??? apart from the kinda annoying breath-taking between the line (gasp gasp gasp, like a fish need some air) can someone pls tell me? what in the world of Damon is going on? Does he turn moslem? like Ian Brown and Pete Doh, DOH! as far as i know, he's an atheist, isnt he? someone should explain this to me.

maybe jamie552 from forum.blur.co.uk could, i get this copy from your thread, mate:D thx anyway!

Destination Underground Flyer

this is my first work at Garage Flower studio. a flyer for a friend's friend. Celebrating his birthday party, he held a party at new musro, hotel borobudur, Jakarta. He asked me (the designer) to recreate a design from UK-made flyer, something with Stanton and Warriors on it. This is the closest i can get. I'm not really satisfied with this work. But it's quite good, innit?

Damon Albarn and The Black Ghost

The Black Ghosts New Album Featured Damon Albarn. This is an email i had received nearly 2 months ago. at first i thought The Black Ghosts was a hardcore band, the look fooled me:d (stupid). I pay no interest to the issue. until i got the single last week and give it a try. i love damon's dreamy vocal. his signature voice can be easily recognized, especially for damon's die-hard fan (ehem..me) at first i kinda had heard this song somewhere in Gorillaz dvd but not sure, i should check it again. i've never been into electronic music (beside Gorillaz), i prefer baggy songs for dancing around. but imo this one is a good record for a beginner like me:d. here's the song.
