Damon Albarn: "Blur", The "Gorillaz" and Other Fables unofficial book coming 25 October
Atomic Grenade sends the news that a new book about Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn is being released on 25 October 2007. Called "Damon Albarn: "Blur", The "Gorillaz" and Other Fables" it promises to cover the Gorillaz story up to the present day, as well as giving a history of Damon's other projects.
Fans should be aware however that this is book is not authorised by Damon or any of the other people behind Gorillaz, and the authors have almost certainly not spoken to anyone connected with Gorillaz in the process of writing the book. A review of the book will appear on Gorillaz-Unofficial.com when it is released. The book can be pre-ordered from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com now.

Wow, that seems like a bit of an over-reaction. :/

Though, of course, it does seem likely there might be a few (how can I put this?) exaggerations in the book.

I'll probably browse it in the bookshop and download some scans (there's bound to be some adorable baby pictures or something in the middle) but not buy it.

If you want a baby picture of Albarn, you can find it in ROTO.

I've got mixed feelings. I guess I'll read it if GU gives it a good review.

Bullshit. I'm not wasting my time/money on it. How he even got a book deal is beyond me.

If it's not authorized than the content probably isn't that good.

I'm willing to bet this will be very gossipy, and the Blur mess will undoubtably be shown in unfavorable lighting conditions. Out of curiousity, I will read it, but not buy it. Books like these tend to be quick reads; you could probably plow through it in an hour or two.

Though the book is unofficial, if you read the description on amazon it would appear that the authors aren't that terrible. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

Fortunately Martin Roach has written one of the best Blur books, Blur - The Whole Story. David Nolan has written a few music bios as well.
