We will sing the praises and songs of Damon Albarn (Blur, The Good, the Bad & The Queen, and Gorillaz) until the cowz come home.  Albarn is one of our best living songwriters and is still delivering the song goods after nearly 25 years of honing his craft.  We recently stumbled upon two particularly charming Gorillaz performances in 2010 for BBC Radio 1 that feature Albarn’s evocative vocalisms.  Check out Albarn and the boys performing On Melancholy Hill, followed by a fine cover of The xx’s Crystalized with singer Daley adding vocals behind Albarn.  Superb sounds once again from Damon Albarn.
