Programming Notes

Damon Albarn is guest DJing on Radio 1 right now (he’ll be on through 4 p.m. ET), and apparently there are some new Gorillaz demos on the docket. Plus, you know, he probably has some news to share about other activities he’ll be engaging in over the course of 2009. [BBC]

    During what time period is the show airing online? Sirius’ Radio 1 feed is time-shifted so that it matches U.S. East Coast Time (i.e., the Chris Moyles Morning Show is broadcast in the morning). So I’m guessing Damon’s slot will play sometime this evening?

    @Ned Raggett:
    i was going to put down “in more ways in one”, dont know if you heard the show but murdoc introduced it and he sounded like he he was… eh you know… the lonely shuffel…

    good show, we dont get that kind of content here in ireland.

    So yeah…I’m totally vindicated in my Damon obsession right?

    I listened to this live at work while pretending to do some very important data entry. I think the Girls Aloud and Razorlight were sort of tongue in cheek choices right? Or did I interpret Murdoc’s prattling wrong? So happy to hear Blur’s Peel Acres snippets again, and the Gorillaz demos were so great.
    God I love Damon. He said at the beginning that a lot of the artists he played will be on the new Gorillaz album, so any guesses as to which ones?
    I’m about 90% sure that the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is going to be on there.

    I’m scarily in love with Damon Albarn. I don’t think those June dates can come soon enough.
