Mike Skinner admits he did not know Damon Albarn

In an interview with Rolling Stone The Street's Mike Skinner has admitted he didn't know who Damon Albarn was when he was introduced to him at a London club recently. Skinner met Albarn after his show at the London Hammersmith Working Men's Club last month. "I didn't really know who he was," Skinner says. "He was just like, 'Welcome to being famous' or something . . . I was just like, 'Oh, shut up, you pansy.' He seems all right, but he's just a different kind of person from me. I kinda get on the train and go see my girlfriend and get on with makin' the music."
