Damon Albarn apparently bored, doesn’t like money.
August 10th, 2007Albarn blocks Pet Shop Boys remix.
Gorillaz founder Damon Albarn has blocked the Pet Shop Boys from releasing a remix of the Blur single ‘Girls and Boys’, say reports.
The ‘West End Girls’ duo are releasing new album Disco 4, which will feature songs by The Killers, Madonna and David Bowie and wanted to include a reworking of the popular Blur track.
However, Albarn has apparently placed a ban on the song’s release, claiming that the remixed version was too good.
A source told The Sun: “Damon complained that they had made the song sound like their own.
They added: “He was also annoyed when he heard Neil Tennant supported Oasis in their 90s chart battle with Blur. Neil said Damon was pretentious.”
Ah, The Sun.

Ah, to live somewhere where Pet Shop Boys remixes are things considered newsworthy. This did answer my question about that, however.
