reading this for the first time

i had always been a little confused as to modern (rubbish) people's hatred of damien albarn (which usually in this day and age goes along the lines of "talented guy but a colossal cunt"). but upon reading this, yeah....what a colossal cunt. he makes liam gallagher look like nick drake. he makes brett anderson look like fucking diana ross. good to see he's at least improved a bit since the mid-nineties

anyone else read this? thoughts? im not all the way through it yet so dont spoil the ending by telling me oasis blow it by releasing a terrible coke-fuelled monstrosity or something

damn firefox

post in the other one

its speechmark-free!


spoiler alert

Oasis ended up "doing a Radiohead" and releasing Merzbow collaborations, and Echobelly "did a Pulp" and played Knebworth supported by Queen (Shaun Ryder filled in for Freddie).

You don't need to read the book now.


Read this a while back

Quite an entertaining read
