Damon Albarn Brings “Darkness to Light” on Fallon: Watch
Damon Albarn celebrated this week’s release of his new album, The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows, by stopping by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday night (November 12th). As the evening’s musical guest, the musician delivered a stunning rendition of his song “Darkness to Light.” While most of us are more used to Albarn rocking out as the frontman of Blur or taking on an animated persona with Gorillaz, his solo work positions him as a soft-rock crooner. With a full backing band, Albarn was able to stick to vocals alone; with a black-and-white filter placed over the footage, it makes for one arresting performance. (Notably, his mullet is still in full force.) Watch him sing “Darkness to Light” on Fallon below. Albarn first conceptualized The Nearer th...
Madonna Confirms She’s Making a ‘Visual Autobiography’
“The reason I’m doing it is a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me,” she told Fallon, “but they’re always men.” Universal tried and failed. The studio sent her a draft script, which she described as “the most hideous superficial crap I ever read.” And the studio tapped a “total misogynist,” in her words, to direct. “Why would these people make a movie about my life?,” she continued. “There’s nothing true in the script, the guy who is making it has no understanding of women, no appreciation of women, no respect for women.” Finally, as she sees it, “I just threw down the gauntlet.” There’s no more in the way of specifics, on financing, casting or indeed if Madonna’s completed the outline. Moving off-topic, Madonna recounted the “magic” moment when she first heard one of her so...

It’s the type of setup that makes you want to curl up in one of the big upholstered chairs in the corner and watch Barnett’s magnetic songwriting unfurl in front of y...
