    Damon Albarn Hints At New Blur Material And Tour

    Damon Albarn has left the door open for the possibility of new Blur material, revealing that the band having been meeting "regularly" and even recording together.

    In an interview in this week's NME Magazine, the Britpop graduate reveals he recorded a spoken word piece with the recently-reformed band as well as poet Michael Horovitz earlier in the year.

    The track, which was a kneejerk reaction to rumours of the Notting Hill carnival being cancelled by the authorities, may or may not ever surface publically.

    "If they'd have cancelled the carnival – and thank God they didn't – maybe we'd have put it out. It had its moment: it was a perfect plea to reinstate the carnival," he told the magazine.

    "So it wasn't relevant – it was relevant for about 12 hours."

    But Albarn admitted he still gets an "amazing feeling" from playing with the 'Park life' group and hinted at his intent to play a series of dates with the band sometime next year.

    However, the frontman might be just a little bit busy at the moment - having recently formed a rock supergroup called 'Rocketjuice And The Moon' with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which you can hear some track from here.
