Alex James: 'Blur reunion may still happen'
Former Blur bassist Alex James has said that he would be "surprised" if the band never worked together at some point in the future. James, singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon and drummer Dave Rowntree had been expected to reconvene in late 2007 to record new material, but despite meeting up as a foursome for a meeting the sessions never took place. Rumours of a reunion have died down since, but today (May 21) James indicated that the possibility of a reunion is still not dead in the water.

What were your favorite British celebs like as teens?
The Guardian tracked down old teachers. Amy Winehouse Sylvia Young theatre school, London, 1997-1998. Sylvia Young, headteacher Amy arrived for her scholarship audition at 12, rather shy and a bit apprehensive. Then she sang and all that was forgotten. She lit up the room, her voice was so rich and pure. I still have our comments on her audition: "Very mature, big sound, excellent technique." I've always said she's a cross between a young Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald. Academically, Amy was ext

Cocaine Diaries with Alex James
Blur Bassist in BBC Cocaine DocumentaryDropping a former coke addict into the midst of the Colombian drug trade for television purposes doesn't seem like the smartest idea. But BBC America has done exactly that, and not with just any former coke addict. It was Blur bassist Alex James, who "once bragged that he spent over a million pounds on cocaine at the height of his addiction," according to a press release. Not only did James return intact, but the resulting documentary, Cocaine Diaries: Alex J

Coxon Vows To Save Blur
Former BLUR bandmates Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are at war again - this time over whether or not the British rock band will reunite. Albarn recently called time on the Park Life hitmakers, telling an Argentine newspaper, "Blur is over". But Coxon, who quit Blur in 2002 after fighting with bandmates while recording the album Think Tank, is still holding out hope for a reunion. Coxon writes on the Blur internet message board, "Damon didn't consult anybody else before he took it into his own hands

The singer told CBC News that he and Jamie have experienced a change of heart. “We came back from summer holidays and realized we could do exactly what we wanted to do with Gorillaz. Essentially, Jami

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett on Writing a Chinese Opera, Eating Toads
Photo: Getty ImagesIf you haven't yet heard about Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's first post-Gorillaz project, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation: It's an opera, and it's in Mandarin. Monkey: A Journey to the West, composed by Albarn and designed by Hewlett over the course of the last three years and a number of trips to China, is an odd, engaging spin on an ancient story — a Buddhist fable about the immortality-seeking Monkey and his journey to enlightenment — that's miles away fr
