Who would've thought that in the midst of the Battle of Britpop, that fortysomething Noel Gallagher would be enthusiastic about the idea of working with fortysomething Damon Albarn?
The pair have proved that that whole era is water under the bridge in recent times, with Gallagher even guesting on guitar for Gorillaz songs at Paul Simonon's birthday party in London last year.
Now, he has gone one better and even offered his services to Albarn for the new Gorillaz album, due for release this year.
He told the Daily Star: "He’s making a new Gorillaz album and he’s got my number, so he’s only got to ask. There is talk of doing something but I’m not sure what it is.”
He did, however, mention that aligning their schedules to make something work might be a problem.
"You can bet your life the minute I finish this tour he’ll go out on his," he said. "I mean trying to get the two of us in the same room would be a fuckiing miracle. But I’m certainly open to the idea, for sure."
C'mon, fellas - make it work. The world has been waiting for this collaboration for 20 years.
