[singing] No war, no war It's cool, isn't it?

Zane Lowe· Host0:09

I mean, we're not gonna call it a retrospective, but it's fucking nice to look back over the last 25 years.

Jamie Hewlett· Guest0:15

Yeah, it's a reminder.

Zane Lowe· Host0:16

Thank you.

Jamie Hewlett· Guest0:17

Shall we say reminder? We don't do nostalgia, you say.

Zane Lowe· Host0:20

Jamie Hewlett· Guest0:20

Jamie Hewlett· Guest0:37

Zane Lowe· Host0:51

This is the House of Khan, Los Angeles style.

Damon Albarn· Guest1:05

Yeah.

Jamie Hewlett· Guest1:05

Pazuzu's here.

Zane Lowe· Host1:07

Yeah In the biggest packing crate ever.

Jamie Hewlett· Guest1:09

When they opened it, it was full of rats. We had to put the guitar to hide his serpent penis. [laughs] 'Cause i- it's, it's built just like the real statue of Pazuzu, and he has a giant snake for a penis. And then we thought, "Well, there's gonna be kids here, so- Yeah ... we're gonna have to do something about that."

Zane Lowe· Host1:26

That was very thoughtful of you.

Jamie Hewlett· Guest1:27

Yeah. They have been busy, haven't
