It seems that anti-war movement gave to Damon Albarn some musical ideas. The singer of Blur want to record Blur's next album in Baghdad. He hopes that it will help to change the way Islamic culture is understood in Western societies. "I love the way the Iraqis arrange strings and vocals", explained him. He also made a joke about "concurrents" Oasis: "It makes me laugh every time I see how obsessed Oasis are with the Beatles and block all other influences." "Even the Beatles left England for almost a year and got to know Indian culture. When they came back home they were the political Beatles."
