Anything but Ordinary

Not sure if this has been posted here already (if it has been, I'll delete!) but today whilst snooping about the internet I came across this new gem of an ITV program.

http://www.itv.com/entertainment/popstartooperastar/

COMING SOON TO ITV1

Can eight singers from the world of pop transform their voices and master the art of opera? Find out as we join hosts Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh for ITV’s sensational new singing show, Pop Star To Opera Star.

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh and McFly singer Danny Jones join a glittering celebrity line-up preparing to warble their way into the nation’s hearts.

They've already conquered the pop world - but will they hit the high notes en route to operatic success? See all the celebs taking part below.

And guess who will be taking part??

None other than...

Alex James: The Blur star swaps Glasto for Grand Opera.

All I have to say is I hope this will be brilliant(ly awful). I cannot wait.

Ttile: Five times Damon incurred Graham's wrath, and one time he didn't.
Rating: PG-13. Swearing, boykissing.
Pairing: Damon/Graham.
Era: All over the place.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Any similarities to Damon Albarn or Graham Coxon are purely coincidental.
Notes: Riddled with factual inaccuracies. Apologies!

( 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. )

Title: 80's Life

Rating: R (snogging, lots of dirty filthy language, sexy sex, adult situations)

Era: The 80's (duh)

Coupling: Damon/Graham

Summary:  Aqua-Net, Bad hair cuts, Bad clothes...yep its 80's life.  Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are just two social outcasts lost in a world full of teenage angst.  Will they make it out alive? HOW EXCITING!

Authors Note: Do. Not. Own. ~LE BLUR~ Thanks fuzzybuni for betaing. I love her! btw if there are typos, its my bad.

What do you get if you cross 4,000 litres of punch with a swimming pool and Alex James from Blur? Bompas & Parr’s Architectural Punch Bowl of course!

The “food architects” responsible for last year’s brilliant Jelly Banquet have flooded the billiard room at 33 Portland Place with enough punch fill 25,000 glasses. Alex James helped launch the installation last night.

lol oh alex

oh and re: gorillaz, apparently the new album will be released on march 8.

I can't believe I wrote this, but Graham's today's tweet was just too good to pass up.

Title: There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Chapter 4)
Pairing: Graham/Damon (& some Graham/Alex)
Era: MLIR Tour (in America), somewhere around 1992-1993
Rating: R
Disclaimer: I don't own Blur, I'm not making any money, I'm just spreading the Blur love, so don't sue me! 8O

Notes: Set during the Modern Life Is Rubbish tour of America (also known as "the tour from Hell"). Graham gets caught breaking windows on the tour bus, to both Ifan (their tour manager) and Alex's dismay.

Like the last chapter, a lot of this was based off the early events documented (and elaborated on by me) in the Blur biography, 3862 Days. Thanks tokickthehobbit as always, for being a lovely beta.

Previous Chapter(s): Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3
