Re: Girls and Boys reaches 100 million milestone on Spotify
On Melancholy Hill originally was meant to be a TGTBTQ song Thanks - didn't know this - but now I can hear how Paul's stuttering dubby base would have worked wonderfully with this track 🙂 They played it in 2011 at Coronet, London. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crkw9pDHwzg http://vblurpage.com/gig...

Re: Girls and Boys reaches 100 million milestone on Spotify
Surprised to see ghost ship up there, I mean I love the song but is weird that it has more streams than the universal I think a theory I saw before was the algorithm heavily pushing it to Gorillaz fans, which does make sense. But agree it looks so weird to see it that high up. Surely a certain incl...

Re: Gorillaz - Song Machine
Doesn't seem to be getting recognition in any of the end of the year lists. Very surprised it didn't make Rough Trades top 100. The Guardian still to announce rank 1-8 but ignored by Pitchfork, Stereogum, Quietus etc. I didn't expect it to be topping any of these, but didn't think it would be total...

Re: new Graham gig | Live For Beirut | Jazz Cafe 12 December 2020
The set up seems fine to me, looks from the seating plan like tables only and suitably distanced
No worse than being in a restaurant

Re: Gorillaz dream Collaborations
Heh a quick google and it looks like there's some quotes from each other but it is odd that they haven't crossed paths more publicly. Looks like Damon attacked Radiohead's touring for one reason or another in 2006 but the original quote comes from "The Sun" so it's probably a load of rubbish Althou...

Re: Gorillaz dream Collaborations
David Byrne, Alex Kapranos and Thom Yorke are all great ideas
I’d add:
Bon Iver
The Horrors (I know it has been done but would love it to see the light of day)
Hot Chip
Ghostpoet
The Flaming Lips
Yannis Phillipakis
Paul Weller
Nick Cave
Guy Garvey
Christine and the Queens

Re: Humanz live?
The whole album is transformed live. Average tracks become 10/10, even something like Carnival.
The only one that for me is average both live and on the record is Submission (I wish Graham was higher in the mix)
Charger was unbelievable at Brixton Academy

Re: GORILLAZ ALBUMZ RANKED
2. Strange Timez - the closest Damon has got to matching Demon Days for quality for a long time. Could have been number 1 if it lost Chalk Tablet Towers (maybe with Opium included instead) I'll never understand why so people have a problem with Chalk Tablet Towers. Even Fantano and Brad Taste didn'...

Re: Gorillaz - Song Machine
Still waiting for my copy to be delivered from Gorillaz Store. Was due to come bundled with the Deluxe Almanac, then they said last week the Almanac was delayed a month but the CD would be sent separately. Nothing came over weekend, then Monday I get an email saying Almanac and CD had been shipped....

Re: Fred Perry Polo Shirts ban
It's only the black and yellow twin tip though: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/28/fred-perry-withdraws-polo-shirt-adopted-by-far-right-proud-boys Not sure Damon ever wore that one - maybe back in the nineties? He wore a similar one for almost every 2009 show - wasn't twin tip though, so...

I reckon with some falsetto it could fit on the debut, maybe after Starshine
