Wrong. Jamie Hewlett plays a pretty big role in both. Not sure if he had anything to do with Gorillaz musically - but he sorta created the 'band'.

Mark E Smith + Lou Reed + Gorillaz?

Could be epic, could be failure, I have high hopes.

Yep. Hewlett came up with all the visuals for both. For Gorillaz he created what we envision as the Gorillaz, and for Journey to the West he created all the stage props which were displayed during their live performances, I believe. While he doesn't really contribute musically, he's still huge.

New single up. Just click on the link and it automatically plays. I like it. Simple but effective.

I love Plastic Beach...Its soothing and danceable, its repetitive yet moves along beautifully, I haven't looked up the lyrics yet but a few lines stood out brilliantly, it was edited just enough to sound robotic without being ridiculous.....

I disagree. I demand that you mud wrestle my girlfriend.

(really, I agree, I just want to see a mud throw down)

i was nervous when you said it was bad...but after i gave it a listen i am still pretty excited for the new album.

Demon Days wasn't minimalist at all, but Stylo sounds like a minimal version of Demon Days with all the fun sucked out of it.

demon days was totally minimalist...well maybe minimalist is too strong of a word.

sure it had your typical dancy tunes that got played on the radio but i'd say a good 3/4 of the album was very chilled and toned down. just listen to their debut and then demon days and tell me then they weren't headed in this direction.
