Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head - Mælstrom - 04-28-2012 09:19 AM
Watch on YouTube
After listening to Demon Days by the Gorillaz, I gained a new appreciation for music made in the 2000s. This took the cake, though. The history of European imperial conquest on aboriginal peoples is saddening, but this song brings a more lighthearted viewpoint to one of my favourite things to learn about.

FUCK I fucking love Gorillaz. Well not the new stuff but the stuff from that era, hell yeah.

I love that song
Pretty much ALL of Demon Days was awesome, actually. The 2000s had some REAL music back then x3

Yeah, Plastic Beach was a bit of a letdown. I really liked Empire Ants and Cloud of Unknowing, but the rest were substandard to that of Demon Days or their self-titled album, IMO. Did any of you see them when they were on tour in 2010?
RE: Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head - .Manicrose. - 04-28-2012 12:44 PM
Nope.
And of course their NEW new stuff, even after Plastic Beach, is just so... weird... like "Do Ya Thing." I didn't even know what to make of THAT. And the Fall album.

Damon and Jamie seem to be at the point where they'll do almost anything for money. The video was funded by Converse, with the profits going 40-60 between the band and the company. I think that Converse told them to make the song to sound more "poppy" so that it would sell better to a mainstream audience, also including Andre 3000 to get money from his fans. I wish that they would have funded the creation for a Rhinestone Eyes video, since the storyboard Jamie made for that would have given fans closure for the cliffhanger in the Melancholy Hill video.
The Fall was really weird, though I haven't been able to get the song Amarillo out of my head since it came out

Always loved this song
It's one of those ones that just gives you chills when you listen to it.
