Gorillaz aspire to be the greatest cartoon band of all time. Of course, there is serious competition for the crown. For decades now, the Archies have sat atop the cartoon mountain surveying the competition. Yes, they really only produced one great single, but what a single it was. (What a tragic irony that the love triangle in the band both fueled their art and also rent the band asunder.) "Sug...
I love the Gorillaz. With that said if you are a true fan you should go out and get D-Sides. Some of the remixs are a little different, I'm not goin' lie. But songs like Hong Kong (my favorite song by Damon) is still amazing.
I'm currently Listening to the Gorillaz Demon Days album and I completely forgot just how incredibly produced and composed this album is. I was fortunate enough to see Damon Albarn and his extrordinary talented team for 5 nights his at the Apollo Theater 2 years ago.

These are the three things on my mind tonite as I sit here and stare at the blank space I'm trying to fill but never will. The Gorillaz have been in heavy rotation lately. 'Soundcheck (Gravity)' is like having mono without all of the nasty sick bits to contend with. This heavy track and '68 State' were my soundtrack for the ride home at lunchtime today. Shuffle, Play! That's how I roll.I mean, ...

Latin Simone and the Gorillaz first album reminds me of living in New Orleans. I remember when we first got the import edition, I was working at Tower and our import buyer Bryan comes up to me handing me a copy of the Gorillaz disc and says, "Hey we just got something in that I know you're gonna love."He was so right.After work we all went to our favorite bar in the French Quarter and spun the ...
