I'm a little underwhelmed with "Demon Days" for the most part, but it's still a damned fine album over all.

Well, I've just totally bought into the image of the 'band', with the individual cartoon characters and their personalities and aspects and so on, so that probably helps. I love it when artists/writers/musicians create fictional alter-egos, and Hewlett portrays them really, really well. I covet his talent.

Anyway, I uh, acquired the album two days ago and I've been listening to it pretty much nonstop since then. I only realised quite recently that Albarn is the brains behind the whole operation, and before then I was like, "Hey, this album reminds me of Think Tank, I WONDER WHY THAT COULD BE". It's not mind-bogglingly amazing, but I can't really think of any album that I would assign that label to... the various styles of the contributors to DD just carry it that extra bit higher, IMO, and I think it just works really well as a polished album, as opposed to just, y'know, a collection of songs. A few of the songs really get inside my head and monopolise it.

I read somewhere that Albarn "sounds like an artist who knows his strengths and uses them as an anchor so he can go off and explore new worlds," which is a bit wanky but sounds about right. I'll probably get bored of it within a couple of weeks, so I'm getting as much out of it as I can before then by being totally obsessed with it.

Gorillaz made a magazine cover this month! Not a music magazine, but rather Wired, the geekiest magazine I've ever read.

Sweet. Kinda wish I could see the rest of it though.

I feel I should link to the Feel Good Inc. video, just for posterity. The visuals are seriously awesome. Everything about this vid is cool. 'Tis apparently .asx file, whatever that is. Plays in Windows Media.

56kers, you lose.

Also, Gorillaz Jeep Simulator!
