A really good Damon Albarn article in The Sun, yeah, I know!

What? A good article in The Sun?? I couldn't believe it either, but there it is! It comes after news that Monkey: Journey To The West will be staged at the O2 arena in London in a special Monkey's World tent. It starts in December.

Best bit of the interview:
"I want to go to Syria next, a sort Islamic Cuba", he says. "I’m playing with the idea of writing an album of love songs, almost Damon Albarn Sings set to Syrian strings. I find that kind of string music very romantic."
Damon Albarn love songs set to Syrian strings? Yeah, I would die.

Here's the article: "I've Always felt close to monkeys"
