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, ...

It is based upon the traditional Chinese folklore 'Journey to the West'...I can't say I have any excitement for it quite yet...but I might as the games begin.

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...
