Sadly, the new Gorillaz has been quite dull, especially the new album "The Fall". But I can understand that since it was made with an iPad, but still, Plastic Beach wasn't as good as Demon Days or Gorillaz.
I've always liked the Gorillaz, but never got tthat into them. I should probably check out one of their LP's, rather than just listening to a few random songs here and there. My friend is obsessed with them.

Gorillaz are unreliable, but chuck out the occasional good tune. Demon Days was best, then Plastic Beach, then Gorillaz. That first album is too... I don't know. They all sound a bit pretentious and full of themselves.
Haven't listened to The Fall. I've been to busy rediscovering my old musical preferences and realising what brilliant taste I had.
I was going to post 'Your Love' by Keane, a song which I feel bad about liking but really like anyway, and features pianist Tim Rice-Oxley taking over vocal duties, which was a good move, since the man can sing. Normal singer Tom Chaplin feels the same way. However, finding the album version on YouTube was impossible. Instead a bit of the lyrics will have to suffice.
The chemicals react
And molecules collide
The poison works its way
Somewhere down inside
When we were young I really believed
Love would never leave us
But time has a knack of pulling the rug out
From underneath us
And nothing matters anymore
I'm still a victim of your love
And now I'm banging on your door
Tumbling backwards with your love
Over and over in your love
I know they're only ghosts
And memories that I'm clutching at
Maybe I'm reaching back
For something I never had
Still it seems so real to me
These ragged threads
That lead me back to you
Speaking of a) Men who can sing and b) Songs I feel bad about liking...
And guess what I got for my birthday! Normally the retro stylings of 'Pain Fade Down' get posted as representative of the game, but I prefer the sombre solemnity of 'Impact of Silence', especially as the mournful piano is prevalent throughout the rest of the soundtrack.
Why would you feel bad about liking something? Just like it, man. No matter what someone else says, you're entitled to an opinion. No reason be guilty about it.

Then you listen to it out loud to let people know that you have a diverse taste in music. If you manage to piss any of them off... extra points because they're not as open minded as you.
I'm sorry for posting so much Gorillaz lately, but damn, this song is just so beautiful. The video is really sad though, in the Feel Good inc. video you see the floating windmill island as a happy place and a symbol of freedom and in El Mãnana, the message is basically that nothing lasts long and the freedom is gone.
