Was that Mick Jones and Paul Simonon?

yup.

I thought it was Mick by his stance/skinnyness..

app. Melancholy Hill, To Binge and Superfast Jellyfish are to go out on the Friday edition.
mick-n-paul have been doing the live tour band for all the recent low key gorillaz shows from what i've heard.

Last time I saw Mick, it was at the Velvet Underground gig.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 09:39 (fourteen years ago) link
There. Name dropped spectacularly there.

Saw him in Marks & Sparks in Tottenham Court Road, and sort of followed him around surreptitiously, one of the only times i've ever been excited seeing a celeb in London

Low-key, no-profile gigs like Later With Jools, Colbert Report, Coachella...

Low key as in "They play as backup behind the cartoon representations"?
Or do they not do that anymore?
― Mark G, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 10:46 (fourteen years ago) link
no they don't do the 'behind a screen' deal anymore.they recently performed a few shows as a 'proper' band - no visuals/no screens etc.as a warm up to the coachella performance.as far as i know, mick-n-paul were part of these shows.

The Demon Days tour didn't have a screen either* Mick & Paul are properly in the live band for the foreseeable future, bless 'em

*though they sent "Gorillaz Sound System" with an "unprecedented 360° visual show" to Australia in late 2008. this turned out to be a drummer and two guys playing In Da Club and Smells Like Teen Spirit off CDJs to a crowd of 10,000 while the exact same slide projections showed on two screens at the front, and one at the back, of the room. it was horrible.

New video for 'On melancholy hill' is great as usual. The 2d/3d blend between characters is a bit strange but manages to feel natural.
It seems they're trying to sell the video through itunes so youtube links are dead almost immediatly. Let's see for how long this holds out:

who the fuck is daley, and how does he feel to have the cheapest ever looking (and sounding) gorillaz video ?
beginning to think its time to get off this train.
the new track is just dull dull dull.

Oh cool- didn't realize this album was still producing singles

lol nm. Non album single

next stage app. is a new album all done on US tour and written/made on damons ipad.
already dreading the advertising campaign. the team up with the times was an indicator that things were going off the rails - not to mention the sheer crapness of the website these days.
― mark e, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 13:59 (thirteen years ago) link
So am I the only person who liked this? Maybe unduly influenced by the cute singer, but still.
Definitely not the cheapest video, at least it's not this:

i would suggest that the snoop video is not really a video per se, as welcome .. was not released as a single.that video is used for the live tour visuals as snoop cant tour with the band, so they project this while the live band play along.
― mark e, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 09:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Cheap video is a minor problem compared to the fact that bits of it sound like "Dancing in the Moonlight"

This is the new Gorillaz album created by Damon Albarn on his iPad as he toured the U.S. It will be released for free on Christmas Day.
In an interview on Australia’s Triple J radio, Damon Albarn confirmed that the forthcoming Gorillaz iPad album is called The Fall and is indeed due out for free on Christmas Day. (Via Some Kind of Awesome.) The record was recorded while Albarn was on tour in America in October, hence the autumnal title. And while a few non-iPad sounds were added to the LP, the bulk of it was indeed made using Apple’s famed slab computer.

Probably won't be arsed with this, I couldn't really get into Plastic Beach. Still love Demon Days though.

This is mostly noodly instrumentals, but there are a few tracks worth hearing. My favorites after one listen are the one featuring Bobby Womack ("Bobby in Phoenix") and "The Parish of Space Dust", which incorporates samples of Texas-area radio and news reports and really nails a isolated road-trip vibe.

Revolving Doors is brilliant. the rest's pretty much wanky waffle. a few nice bits here and there but really how is this anything other than another 'DemoCrazy' style Damon solo album? most of it sounds like blur '13' era cast offs or Good, Bad and The Queen instrumentals.
sounds like a very rich man, bored and stoned in a hotel room, gazing out at a sunset and prodding away at an Apple gadget. or like a soundtrack to the next terrible Sofia Coppola movie.

nice update of 'Time Becomes' by Orbital on 'The Speak It Mountains' mind.
i wonder did he have to pay for that sample of Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman that pops up suddenly?!
― piscesx, Monday, 27 December 2010 15:06 (thirteen years ago) link
if for nothing else, this gorillaz project is worthwhile for inspiring the term "wanky waffle."
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 27 December 2010 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
really how is this anything other than another 'DemoCrazy' style Damon solo album?
is it really pretending to be much other than that, though? it's a free stream posted online for fans. sure, most of the tunes are slight sketches, but i enjoy 'em as such.
anyway i agree that "Revolving Doors" is the best thing here. also liked one of the slower numbers toward the end -- "Amarillo" i think?
― swvl, Monday, 27 December 2010 16:12 (thirteen years ago) link
mm well i mean it's no big deal or owt but it's advertised all over the world and such as a Gorillaz album, which is only available to get a copy of if you've registered as a paid up member of the Gorillaz fan club. so yeah it's meant to be a Gorillaz album free stream or otherwise.
i just think he sounds knackered. there's some great bits here and there, but he's basically turned into Mccartney circa 78.
― piscesx, Monday, 27 December 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, that's fair enough. i have a fondness for mid-period mccartney the stoned noodler too, so that may explain why i don't mind this :)
― swvl, Monday, 27 December 2010 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
but really how is this anything other than another 'DemoCrazy' style Damon solo album?
in the Australian radio interview/acoustic session where he confirmed the album and announced the title, he specifically said it's another DemoCrazy made on hi-tech instead of low-tech, and with other people joining in
