Blur's Alex James will fill in for radio presenter Tom Robinson on the BBC's digital music station 6Music in June. He will present the 'Evening Sequence' show for two weeks from 31 May.

Elsewhere in Blur news, the trio are back in the studio this week to record a new EP. The EP project is one of three musical ventures for Damon Albarn, who is also recording an album with the surviving members of Fela Kuti's band and working on a new Gorillaz record.

On the latter he told 6Music he is planning on using The Bees as a house band for the project and among the producers on the bill: "I've been working with Dangermouse. It's gonna be great. Gorillaz is just pure unadulterated pop fun for me."

Back on Blur matters Albarn reiterated his hopes to bring Graham Coxon back into the band: "Blur's like a family with one brother no-one talks to. It is a realistic prospect - the only reason he's not in the band is because he didn't feel he was getting enough say. We're totally capable of making music together. I can forget about all the other things."
