Just downloaded this song supposedly recorded by Matt Sharp & Damon Albarn
(Blur.) Is this correct? I couldn't find it anywhere searching Blur's
discography. Apparently it's a cover of a song by Gary Numan. I was just
curious.

It's the real deal, but that was Damon and Matt, not the Rentals and Blur.
Furthermore, it ain't exactly new. I think it was recorded for a tribute
album to Gary Numan. I think...

No I didn't. Perhaps I misunderstood what he was trying to say, I was tired
beyond belief. In any case, the point I was trying to make was that it a:
was not a Blur song (he did list Blur after Damon), b: that it was made for
a Gary Numan tribute album, not that it was simply a cover song. I thought
that was pretty fucking obvious. c: I also stated it wasn't exactly new. All
true and he didn't mention any of it. Did you read my reply? I'm not trying


to be a dick or anything.
