Damon Albarn is pretty much a god. While so many other iconic '90s musicians have faded away into irrelevance or tabloid fodder for slow news days, in the past decade he's consistently made eclectic, interesting and surprising choices: the quietly gorgeous album "Mali Music";
the staggering opera "Monkey: Journey to the West," based on a 16th-century Chinese novel;
and, of course, everyone's favorite eccentrically spelled virtual band, Gorillaz.
Through it all he's surrounded himself with supremely talented collaborators, and his latest project, an album recorded by Congolese musicians in aid of Oxfam's work in the DRC, looks set to follow. "Kinshasa One Two" can be pre-ordered, and tracks from the album can be streamed, here: http://bleep.com/index.php?page=dynamic&module=drc_kinshasa_one_two. Your ears will thank you.
Effort involved: almost none. You need new music anyway, don't you?
