Blur will "probably do something" in January, according to Damon Albarn. More than a year since their last gig together, the band recently discussed reuniting in early 2011 to work on a mysterious "small" project.

"We met up yesterday and had a really nice chat," Albarn told Sky News. "I think we'll probably do something, well we did talk about doing something, maybe, in January." Unfortunately, Albarn and co don't seem to be plotting an album or major tour. "[It will be] something small," Albarn said, "no career-based world-domination ideas."

After a six-year break, Blur reunited in 2009 for a series of celebrated concerts. They released one new song, Fool's Day, as a limited-edition 7in. This sold out, and Albarn has discussed releasing more singles. "I'm definitely going to do a few more of those 7ins," he said in May. This could be Blur's plan for January. As Albarn previously admitted: "We've got songs."

Then again, the Blur frontman more than has his hands full. Albarn is still on tour with Gorillaz, and has at least three more albums on the go: a "Tony Allen-centred" record with Flea, an Oxfam-backed project in the Congo, and a new Gorillaz LP. Plus the possibility of yet another Plastic Beach sequel, one more album with the Good, the Bad and the Queen, and the result of his aborted opera with comics writer Alan Moore. "Once I stopped seeing it as a career and just started making music, things have got a lot easier," Albarn explained. Imagine how much he could accomplish if he simply gave up sleep.

Et bien; entre ça,

et ça :
Honest Jon a écrit :"Si nous savions que Damon Albarn et les Gorillaz travaillaient sur leur prochain essai durant leur tournée, l'ancien leader de Blur a déclaré à l'occasion d'une interview accordée au magazine NME avoir enregistré ce dernier sur son iPad : "Je l'ai réalisé sur mon iPad - J'espère ainsi être le premier à faire un disque sur un iPad".

Sitôt dit sitôt fait, le projet pourrait même voir le jour "avant Noël". Encore orphelin de titre, ce nouvel effort ferait suite à Plastic Beach , le troisième album de la bande semi virtuelle, sorti il y a 9 mois à peine."


.. :drunk: & :smoke:

enfin ça sent le faux espoir :-/
