Frontman of the quintessentially British sounding band, Blur, he still managed to strap on some sneakers and make like a New York indie band with “Song 2” (aka the “Woohoo Song”). Together with Nakamura, Cibo Matto’s Miho Hatori and Bay-area rapper Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, plus a rotating cast...
