EP.269 - Jamie Hewlett & Damon Albarn AKA Gorillaz

Adam talks with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz about not giving a f**k, being born in the 60s and growing up in the 70s and 80s, duetting with Mark E Smith and Lou Reed, why Damon isn't as impressed by Van Morrison and Coldplay as Adam is, partying too hard with Ant and Dec, trying to get The Spice Girls into Stockhausen, Dads, the new Gorillaz album 'The Mountain' and the experience of trying to make peace with mortality in India that inspired it.
