Blur's Bassist Sells a Piece of his Soul for a McNugget!

This also makes me want to shove a mcnugget up his nose! Way to let yourself down Alex! 

Blur's Alex James has found himself at the center of a 'Twitter-storm' after singing the praises of fast food manufacturers and their products.

Writing in The Sun, where he is employed as a food columnist, the bassist compared a branch of McDonald's which he was given a tour of to a "Michelin-starred restaurant'. He added: "When it's busy in a Michelin kitchen, all the chefs are doing is putting pre-prepared parts of a meal together, which is essentially the same as McDonald's."

The piece, which also saw him visit a McDonald's burger factory, Greggs' bakery and a branch of KFC, went on to say: "My day with McDonald's didn't put me off eating there at all... I was dazzled by the whole process from farm to factory to burger."

The article has now been criticised as being nothing more than a 'puff piece' by users of social networking site Twitter. They have accused cheesemaker James of selling out, promoting unhealthy food and penning a free advert for the fast food chains, with one user, Richard King, branding James the "indie [Jeremy] Clarkson". James is pictured with Clarkson and Prime Minister David Cameron above.

The Real Food Festival commented that James was "looking like he's sold another piece of his soul, this time to McD and Greggs" while Munch Local wrote: "Blimey, talk about selling out Alex James. Guess the food business is down the pan then. No credibility from advertising Greggs, McD & KFC."

BLUR AND OASIS MAKE UP!!!

Well I don't know about entire bands bu former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and Blur singer Damon Albarn have definitely put their Britpop feud behind them after 15 years.

Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn have put their Britpop feud behind them after 15 years.
The former Oasis guitarist said a chance meeting with the Damon - whose band Blur went head to head with Noel's in the charts and a bitter war of words in 1994 - led to them having a beer and settling their differences.


He told Shortlist Magazine: "Funnily enough, when I was out last night, I bumped into him. I literally haven't seen the guy for 15 f***ing years and I bump into him in some club. We both went, 'Hey! F***ing hell!' and then he said, 'Come on, let's go for a beer.'
"So we're sitting having a beer, just going, 'What the f**k was that about 15 years ago? That was mental.'

"Then he said, 'It was a great time though,' and I was like, 'Yeah, it was a f***ing good laugh.' It was cool man."
While Noel, 44, has put his feud with Damon behind him, his bitter fall out with his brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam - which led to the band's split in August 2009 - continues, and it annoys Noel that he constantly gets mistaken for his sibling on the London Underground.
He added: "I always get this, 'Excuse me, mate, aren't you Liam Gallagher?' F**k's sake. Sometimes, even when they ask me, I say, no and they're like, 'You don't half look like him.'
"For all you budding famous people out there, the key is to keep a straight face: 'Are you Noel Gallagher, mate?' 'Nope.' 'Are you sure?' 'Yep.'"
