Blur bassist Alex James has told fans he plans to call estranged guitarist and former bandmember Graham Coxon. Coxon has stayed in London to promote his solo album while his three former bandmates travel with Fatboy Slim to Morocco to finish their next album. On Blur’s official website James admits he is wondering where Coxon is, and says that he’ll call him.
Talking about the new album he continues: "Norman has a musical compass and he leads us places we haven’t been before. It’s good to get a fresh perspective on a few tracks and hear some new jokes. Norman isn’t scared of anything, oh except the thing with 10 legs that eats marbles that lives behind the studio, but he has a fearless perspective that people who know they are good all enjoy. We had a good time with a couple of songs that we hadn’t seen for ages, and a whole new one arrived. It sounds a bit like a cross between Blur and Fatboy Slim. "
