[Damon Albarn Unofficial @DamonUnofficial]

From Liam Bailey interview with @TheNewCue1: "I wasn’t able to knock it off with Damon Albarn. I went to the studio several times with Damon and I was too starstruck, I was super nervous. And it doesn’t help that everything that comes out of my man’s mouth is near-on genius."
