Damon Albarn on Blur vs. Oasis

Blur frontman Damon Albarn talked about the division that many fans saw between northern, working class Oasis and southern, middle class Blur.

"The whole class thing was just insane," he said in an interview. "But we were young and we let ourselves get caught up in it. And the competitiveness was ridiculous for a while, but, you know, I was never gonna beat Noel [Gallagher , Oasis frontman] in a war of words."

However, the two singers recently became friends and collaborators, and making an album with Gallagher is a "distinct possibility" in future, according to Albarn.


"I still see Noel from time to time. We text a bit," Albarn said. When asked if the pair would be making a record together, he replied, "I can imagine that being a very distinct possibility at some point in the future. But, as yet we haven't really talked about it, although…"

"OK we have a little bit. We're talking. It's not anything to get excited about yet. I mean, he's doing his thing. He's finishing a new record. I've got my record coming out, but the principle of us making music together is something…you know, it would be fair to say, we have discussed it at least once." he added.
