之前的新聞也有提到， 這期的Ｑ雜誌為了慶祝二十週年， 所以分別請了二十位音樂人擔任封面人物與個別訪問。 也就是說，這期的Ｑ有二十種封面。 雖然沒想到Ｑ會做出這種騙錢的行為， 但是衝著其中一個封面＋訪談是Damon， 怎麼樣就是要買一下（上次登上封面是幾年前的事了……？- -;） 結果今天在敦南誠品發現了！ 二十種封面幾乎都有！ 但是Damon版只剩一本（是被版友買走的嗎:P） 訪談很短，不過內容蠻有趣的， 也有提到Blur未來的動向（……） 這邊跟大家分享一下： DAMON ALBARN Renaissance Man. - How are you? I'm very busy. But much further on than I was last year in the eternal quest to be rounded, genuine, nice person. - Where are you right now? I'm in the auditorium of the Apollo in Harlem. - What does Q mean to you? Q's been there longer than most, and it's a good format. But I don't buy music magazines. - What were you doing 20 years ago? I was 18 so I was probably worrying far too much about my hair. And playing a gig with [early band] Real Lives at Stanway comprehensive school in Colchester. Graham [Coxon, former Blur guitarist] was on drums. - What's your high point of the last 20 years? My daughter Missy. - And the low point? I don't want to get into all of that. I've been self-destructive over the years. Anyone who's interested in me will have a rough idea that I've kept a lot of things quiet. I choose not to define my low points. - Will you ever write the no-holds-barred autobiography? Even though I say to myself, I think I've had an incredibly interesting life. But I'm too conscious about everybody else involved. - What was it like working with Dennis Hopper on Gorillaz's Demon Days? He's a fabulous man. The only reason I went to the Grammys this year is because he put on this incredible party for us the night before. He has this wonderful house on Venice Beach which is like a live-in art museum. And Al Pacino's in the corner having a casual drink. - What was the first album you bought on CD? Dunno. It wouldn't be an honest answer because I'd just choose something that sounded cool. - And the first track you downloaded? I've never downloaded anything. I don't know how to. I'll listen to the expert and then go and find the record. - Who's your favorite artist of the last 20 years? There isn't one favorite, but the way it happened for Ibrahim Ferrer [Cuban singer rediscovered by Ry Cooder for the Buena Vista Social Club album] was amazing. It was one of the fairy tales of our time. - If you could talk to yourself 20 years ago, what advice would you give? Stay away from the late nights, drugs and fast women. - Really? No. Honestly... don't let people bully you into things you don't want to do. Try to be true to yourself. - Your favorite drug of the last 20 years? The most inspiring drug has been marijuana. Yes, I have taken drugs. But marijuana has stayed with me, and I love to smoke while I'm making music. The process is accompanied by a haze. - Your best and worst haircut? I'm not answering that. It's a stupid question. - What was the most money you spent? What do you want to know - whether I'm rich or not? - Are you? I'm a little bit rich. - What else have you been up to? I've just completed an album [The Good, The Bad And The Queen] with [Afrobeat drummer] Tony Allen and [ex-Clash bassist] Paul Simonon. I'm also working on an opera about [cult '70s TV show] Monkey, which is a classic piece of literature in China. And there's a musical I'm writing for the National Theatre. It started off being about 50 years of London music. But I'm determined to let it evolve. I know how it starts, but not how it finishes. - And Blur? I'm really committed to Blur, too, but I'd really just like it to be four people again. I hated playing old Blur songs without Graham on the Think Tank tour. Am I saying no more Blur records unless Graham comes back? No. But it's got to be something really brash ans stupid. There are real problems to be overcome before I feel right about it. - Where will you be in 20 minutes? Thinking about eating something small before I go onstage. ※ 編輯: JO87 來自: 218.184.9.231 (10/21 07:11)
