The fact that file sharing goes on, and is as popular as it is, is an incredibly positive thing for the music industry. The fact is that music is so popular that people are willing to break the law to get it.
Dave Rowntree Blur -
Like, Mission Of Burma to me always sounded almost like they were part of the British Arty New Wave. I kind of like that. I like not being able to tell the difference.
Graham Coxon Blur
-
It's a bit loose and the people in my group have got other groups. They don't have to have a total allegiance to me. I think that's really a bit weird and showing some weird insecurity.
Graham Coxon Blur -
The older I get, the more interesting I find lawyers and accountants.
Alex James Blur -
I liked Germany; I'm not into Berlin, it's too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.
Graham Coxon Blur -
It's the faster bands that made me want to play guitar, bands like The Jam.

I think I would much rather push the boundaries of the degradation that the characters face.

Every time I go to Africa, I see the future. I see what the Western world is going to become. It's a very futuristic place.

My hobby is my job. it's a jobby!
Graham Coxon Blur -
I'd always wanted to be an idiot genius Soho alcoholic.
Alex James Blur -
I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes on men.

The thing I really like about this band is that every time I walk out of my door I bump into Graham, no matter where I am! That always reassures me.
Alex James Blur -
You know Manchester is always a bit of a hard place for people coming from London, just with all the history. Manchester has this immensely huge and healthy history musically.
Graham Coxon Blur -
It's mostly Mars Bars and peanuts and cheese and you go to the fridge and there's Red Bull and Beer. It's not like people are holding me down and pouring beer in my face.

If punk was about getting rid of hippies, then I'm getting rid of grunge.
Damon Albarn Blur -
A lot of Gorillaz songs were very personal. I mean, that's why it was interesting, because it wasn't music being made for a cartoon. It was something different. It was a much more emotional affair. I wasn't necessarily thinking in the third-person then.
Damon Albarn Blur

I was naive enough to believe it would be enough to replace the government. Well, I made fun of the people in the government and then realized that even if we got rid of them, they were replaced by exactly the same guys.
Damon Albarn Blur -
The whole Gorillaz concept is one for mavericks; it's a way for people who never have a chance to work together being able to ally behind the cartoons.
Damon Albarn Blur -
What you've got to do is look in your cupboard, see what's there, put it all in a big pot, sprinkle some grated cheese on top and bung it in the oven. That's what pop music is all about.
Alex James Blur -
Manchester has it's own pride and London has it's sort of pride and sometimes we can be a bit mean to each other, but I think if we dig the music we can get on really well.
