...been told that you want to come and live in America. You're more than welcome to come and live in my house." OZZY OSBOURNE, rocker and TV phenomenon, offering Prince William a place to stay...
...lucky breaks and happy coincidences. Like the time last year when, after three years of being ignored by record companies, the Thrills' demo tape suddenly sparked a bidding frenzy that led them to Virgin Records. Or the time that same demo landed in the lap of Mancunian gloom-rocker Morrissey, who invited them to play their first London show - opening for him at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall last September. Although Deasy insists "it's the lazy assumption that this is just a summer album," these tunes wouldn't sound quite right on a rainy day. Take the opener Santa...
...quite a night. Liam Gallagher of Oasis came by to pick up an award on behalf of the Who's Roger Daltrey, who has helped build eight hospital wards for the U.K.'s Teenage Cancer Trust.

In the works is a historical fantasy about 19th century America. And several members are writing solo novels under the names Wu Ming 1 (Bui) through Wu Ming...
...tracks feel like they were laid down in the midday sun. "Inevitably it seeps into the sound of the vocals," says Albarn. "It is a very elemental record, it is informed by the weather and environment it was made in." But Think Tank is more than a grown-up-rocker-discovers-Afropop indulgence. The production involvement of Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) and remix-master William Orbit was an inspired stroke, but their hand is light, quelling fears that this would be Blur's dance album. The opening track, Ambulance - which would sit easily on David Bowie's Low - begins...
