Jarvis Cocker of Pulp vs Damon Albarn of Blur/Gorillaz

I like Jarvis better.

Jarvis was so hot before he hit 35. His dong must be filled with hot smegma. Awesome!

Who?

Isn't Damon from wealth?

The Blur bassist was so hot. He's the guy who literally blew millions up his nose due to his coke habit.

Alex James has a history of issues.

What other issues? I don't know much about him, except he was very good looking. Blur was one of those bands, that I listed to the music, but didn't follow much about their personal lives.

I do remember seeing documentary about the band, think it was on BBCAmerica. He supposed got his shit together and now has a goat cheese business with his wife. Then again, thta documentary wa son many years ago, things change.

R6 Lots of hard drugs, groupies, etc.

The drummer sounds like he was worse. He had some major cocaine-ridden freakout at that Nardwaur interviewer comedian guy way back and that caused a ruckus. Later, he ran for some kind of UK political position and it had caused some issues bringing brought back up.

I had such a love for Jarvis, going to see Pulp next year

I thought Liam Gallagher was the coolest back in the day.

R8 Which show?

I have heard they might be adding new shows to the tour after the holidays and possibility of them doing a gig with Blur.

[quote]Lots of hard drugs, groupies, etc.

Yes, I knew that, it was part of the documentary I saw on BBCAmerica. It's not much of a revelation that a good looking member of a famous rock band fucked a lot of groupies and did lots of drugs.

The shocking part was the millions he spent on cocaine alone.

Damon is mean. He upset Taylor Swift, alleging she is not a songwriter. He also forced fat Adele off the stage one year at the Brit Awards, which was insulting. He has issues with women.

Alex James became a preachy anti coke advocate. Mind you, he did this after he'd had his fill, settled down and became lord of his manor.

That's rich, considering one of his ex-GFs looked like a man, the former Elastica singer Justine Frischmann.

R12 Damon is correct, and I'm glad someone told her.

Damon was so pretty

Justine was quite unattractive, Damon was prettier! Makes you wonder. Both of them were heroin addicts during their relationship, that might have something to do with him being with her.

I'm always astonished when people date outside their attractiveness level. What does his wife look like? Is she mannish too?

Could be has issues with women because he's closeted?

Just found a photo of Damon's partner, I don't think they are married but they do have a daughter.

Is she biracial? Part East Asian? Whatever she is, she's not attractive either.

Damon has terrible taste in women.

The one who sang It'll Lift Us Up Where We Belong

The Massive Attack guys tried to join him on stage but were stopped by security. Only Jarvis made it up there.

Justine was also with Brett from Suede, she left him for Damon.

Groupie with a guitar. See also Courtney Love.

I love the work Jarvis Cocker did with Nancy Sinatra.

The recording on the album is much better, but I still appreciate their live performance.

Those relationships would be totally pimped out now by their PR reps. Taylor Swift has made an entire career around who she's dated.

Beetlebum was at one time reported to be Damon's paean to Justine's hoo-hoo

[quote]Justine was also with Brett from Suede, she left him for Damon. Groupie with a guitar. See also Courtney Love.

Justine now lives in Colorado with some guy she married. Probably became a MAGAt! She claims to be an artist. Don't they all.

Still shocked how plain Damon's partner is. Plus, she looks older than Damon.

His wife's name is Suzi Winstanley, she's supposedly a working artist. She works with a collaborator under the name Olly & Suzi.

I love Blur's music and, to a lesser degree, like Gorillaz as well.

I didn't quite love Pulp as much, though the singles were interesting. But I like a lot of what Jarvis has to say. He also had a radio show for years on 6 Music that I really liked.

One of my favorite records, Kissin Time by Marianne Faithfull, has songs/production and/or vocals by both of them (on different songs). It's quite fun.

Always had a crush on Damon in younger days, but I think Jarvis is actually quite handsome now as an older man. He definitely has BDE in a way Damon never has.

I saw Jarvis at Webster Hall back in 2006 or so when he was promoting his first solo album. It was an incredible show, he had the audience in the palm of his hand. He’s a very charismatic performer. I’m a Damon fan too though I’ve never seen him live.

Saw Gorillaz last month and Damon is still adorable but like so many of us is an old man now. He puts on a great show. I like Jarvis but he’s not attractive to me at all. I love his bit on the Sondheim tribute. He did a video for “I’m Still Here” directed by Todd Haynes.

(10) the dubin show

Adored Blur's take on Serge Gainsbourg and Last Year at Marienbad. Blur oozed 'art college', Oasis were 'building site and bookies', Pulp bridged that gap.

R22 A classic.

I never hear any kind of tea on Jarvis. Only times were when he was with Chloe.

Anyone?

Jarvis is adorable!

And Gorillaz latest album is really good. Consistent good music.

There was chat years ago in the early days of the net - a blind about some big party where a "Britpop star" pulled out his very large penis and performed auto fellatio, to completion.

The conventional wisdom was that it was Jarvis.

R34 Bet you that was Liam Gallagher or Brett from Suede!

Can't see really Jarvis doing that....but you never know! He seems too reserved in that aspect.

R12 Absolutely hate Taylor Swift and she's an overrated hack who just has a record company round table songwriting team that writes all of her lame, boring, repetitive, drawn out drivel.

R14, he’s told us he likes girls who want boys /Who like boys to be girls / Who do boys like they're girls / Who do girls like they're boys

I have definitely wondered about Damon...

This is why Jarvis is better and he honestly could be a full on comedian or actor if he wanted to. And fun to hear him talk about his film school days and seeing clips of his college film project.

There's also something strangely hot about this one:

This is hot too.

Pulp comes in midway. Jarvie is so cute.

Damon is a very intelligent man but can sometimes come across as super pretentious. Might also be the area he is from and it just seems that way but isn't.

Damon has never written a song as succinct as Jarvis' Cunts Are Still Running The World

R43 Amen to that!

I mean, I'd ride both of them until their foreskins wore off.

R45 Are you male or female? Because if a certain one, that would be weird in odd places.

Everyone in Blur had massive addiction issues. Graham got hit by a car at the height of his alcoholism.

Alex claimed in his memoir that he fucked Courtney Love. She denies it, though.

Jarvis is a brilliant man. Saw Pulp at the Warfield in 2012 and they were terrific.

Has anyone here met Jarvis? Or any of the band? His new solo band is great. But really excited about this 2023 Pulp reunion. Can't wait to see them.

[quote]Alex claimed in his memoir that he fucked Courtney Love. She denies it, though.

Who hasn't the junkie fug Courtney Love fucked? What did all the non-addict/non-boozer men see in her?

Her middle photo face and current face were created in a plastic surgeon's office. Would have most of these famous men have fucked her when she looked like the photo on the left. Courtney looked like Nancy Spungen, who wasn't exactly attractive.

They both are having reunion tours going on as we speak and both were so fucking great this weekend. I think Jarvis is incapable of aging.

All of the previous nights show is on YouTube now.

But the Weekender was 100 times better and bigger.

I think both Blur and Pulp are at a new height right now, but Pulp wins this one.

seen Pulp tonight in Dublin, they were brilliant and Jarvis is sexy as ever!!!!!

I put Gorillaz above Blur and Pulp, but they make pretty different music to be fair.

The Clash’s Paul Simonon playing bass for Gorillaz was cool as hell.

r52 - jealous! Wish they'd tour the U.S.

To tell you the truth, Father, I'm rather fond of Neil Hannon myself

Or how about the Aesthete of Suburbia himself, Mr Brett Anderson?

R12 That's what I like about Damon. One of the few in music industry who dared to speak the truth on Taylor. If I'm not wrong, one of the Gallaghers also trashed her.

I've seen both a few times and when I lived in San Diego there was a bar that did Brit Pop night which was fun. Different Class was one of those Desert Island albums for me in my youth. Plus, Jarvis Cocker was my celebrity doppelganger when I was younger and skinnier.

As I've gotten older though, I've gravitated towards Gorillaz more than either Pulp or Blur.
