Interestingly, Damon reckons that the day Graham Coxon went "bugger this" and walked out of Blur, the band died. He was, however, happy to drag the corpse about for a bit, even although it was hollow:
"I got sick of the ritual of performing. I never really liked the last Blur tour. I hated playing the old material. I just found that really depressing without Graham.
"It was a painful experience to play songs that belonged to a band where one member was missing."
Oddly enough, he recently announced the band would be returning to live action. We're picturing some sort of bizarre re-animation technique, like the one Dawn used to resurrect Joyce...
I fucking love how you can think up a Buffy metaphor for everything. Although dear Damon's pining is making me want to go find angsty Blur slash.

Ha ha! I miss the Conor Oberst stuff...
