Blur “Certainly Going To Rehearse” In 2009, Says Damon Albarn

Photo: Cattermole/Getty This is probably the umpteenth time we’re reporting news like this, but according to Damon Albarn, he and his Blur mates will all enter the studio in 2009. “Blur are certainly going to rehearse and see if we’re into it,” Albarn told the BBC this afternoon. Guitarist Graham Coxon, who left the band while they were worked on 2003’s Think Tank, also factors into the reunion equation. The band reconnected numerous times this year in non-musical situations this year, first meeting for lunch and then attending Albarn’s performance of his Monkey: Journey to the West at London’s O2 Arena. If Blur were to reunite for albums and the lucrative festival season, they’d have to compete for Albarn’s time with his other project Gorillaz, as Albarn stated in September he hopes to begin work on the follow-up to 2005’s Demon Days in January.

Zach de la Rocha Completes Solo LP, J.Lo Considers Spice Girls Collabo, iPhone Goes Overseas

Rage Against the Machine frontman Zach de la Rocha has finally ended his Chinese Democracy-esque journey by revealing that his first solo album is finished. The record, which de la Rocha started after leaving Rage in 2000, will feature Zach playing keyboards and former Mars Volta member Jon Theodore on drums. A source close to the recordings called it a cross-pollination of “Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre.” While no decision has been handed down yet, some reports claim Britney Spears will temporarily relinquish custody of her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline following allegations that Spears’ former bodyguard would testify regarding drug use, and the voluntary exile of her lawyer and manager. In what would be a career move only slightly less devastating than Gigli, Jennifer Lopez has expressed interest in joining the Spice Girls onstage during their reunion tour after striking up a friendship with Posh Spice. Apple’s platinum-selling iPhone will make its U.K. debut on November 9th. The phone will be available exclusively on wireless carrier O2 and will cost a meager £269 ($540). The principal members of Shudder to Think reunited onstage last night at New York’s Mercury Lounge, marking the first time since 1999 that the Washington, D.C. band has played together live. The group performed six songs, including two tracks from 1994’s Pony Express Record.
