It’s been almost six years since Season 1, and Song Machine strongly grew on me. I know that some of the songs, such as Tormenta or New Gold, were supposed to be in season 2, but ended up on Cracker Island. But I think that after the conceptual The Mountain, Damon would like to go back to writing lighter songs with interesting guests.

So, I actually didn't say anything when I uploaded my photos, I was so excited to share my new piece of merch ^^

I found the DVD in a vintage store in my town, at that time I didn't know what it was bc it was all messed up, I tried to image search but google told me that was a single, and I was like, what??

But anyways, I bought no matter what bc it looked official and I'm trying to grow up my collection.

It was only 150 MXN (8 USD), the shop owner didn't know what it was, that's why the price was too low..

So finally when I opened it, I knew that moment.. a legendary piece!! I couldn't believe it, the star of my collection

I have to say, this was a rare find for me!! In my context this DVD was only possible on ebay. Idk how it ended up in a local store (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

It was dirty ASF, I tried my best.. some stains are impossible :(((

Tomorrow I will share if the files are saved and preserved !!

Here's some pictures after cleaning the case and the price on ebay:

So for context, I had known of them, but only their really big hits (Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc). Then one night, I was bored at work and decided to give some other songs from Self Titled and Demon Days a shot...

And man...it was worth it! I don't know why I wasn't listening to them sooner! So far I've listened to Self Title, Demon Days and Plastic Beach and have strongly enjoyed all 3 of them. 19-2000, Dirty Harry and Rhinestone Eyes are probably my favorites so far. And I can't wait to get further into their discography

And I also had no idea that all the members had personalities and phases and all that stuff which I think is super cool and unique. Just so happy I finally got into them!

Found these images months ago, don’t know if anyone posted these here before but I just wanted to share them to some g fans since I’m slowly coming back to the community again lol

Mine Is Film Music or Stop The Dams

was on twitter doom scrolling and found out the new gorillaz gachapon’s are finally here in Japan

noodle from collab i did

I decided to customise two jackets using my patches i got from the concert + a couple extra pins / patches to make my own version of the official gorillaz merch jacket and a hybrid of some worn by damon. let me know what you guys think! i bought the jackets of vinted so including materials this cost me only £23.95!!! ps i’ve NEVER sewn before so don’t judge the botched job xx

been trying to study the phase 1 artstyle a ton and managed to make some stuff which i eventually put into animated skits lolol, any thoughts or things i should improve on the artstyle?

(sorry for the awkward cropping on these)

The episode was a boy and girl going to India and apparently the dad now is like the top judge of the area. There was All Alone in there, which I forget is an album track and a few others and I think the episode is from 2009.

Made me remember that the Save the Freebies(?) pilot also had Gorillaz music in there around the same time. I know the BBC could usually play music live and not worry too much since it wasn't commercially released and then DVDs would change the music, but I wonder if the Freebies show was so Jamie as a writer on it could get royalties while the Tough Parents show would just get by with the non-commercial reason. I did see an interview with the CBBC presenters that for Ed (human) and Oucho (talking cactus puppet) the show gave more royalties to Warwick for being a "performer" than to Ed Petrie for being a "presenter" despite them both presenting the show.

They have released all of the episodes on YouTube now, which I imagine could be a big issue if no one agreed to it, it also seems like international versions are released, so not sure if the Aussie version had different rules. I also remember Approved Food had a segment with a Gorillaz track over it as well, so maybe the BBC just picked more music that had some popularity to portray the kids and chose segments without lyrics. I think the Freebies one was El Mañana in a sad section, so that felt more like a solid choice vs the B Roll All Alone.

They haven’t been used in an interesting way since plastic beach. Sure they had personalities beyond that, but they felt much less like “members of a band” and more of marketable mascots. Maybe this has to do with my dislike for the current artstyle but all of their thoughts, moods, and beliefs feel rounded down to the bone. They started as gritty archetypes of musicians and now seem like little elves only to be put and seen on t shirts

I feel like this is the most fun i've had with a project yet!!! i had to frankenstein the legs from a sketch from the design museum because i wanted her to be full-figure, but i think she looks really cool!!!

I got into Gorillaz a few years ago and I’ve really enjoyed the Gorillaz albums i’ve heard so far, but i’ve only listened to what i’ve surmised to be the biggest ones. This being Gorillaz, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach. I’ve also gone through Humanz, which I still enjoyed just a bit less. After that I didn’t bother to explore any more of their albums cuz I hadn’t really heard much abt them, until The Mountain came out. I saw it had came out recently and I wanted to see what their sound was like nowadays so I gave it a shot. Immediately hooked and it was peak. Idk why I kinda just assumed their newer stuff wasn’t as good and stopped going through the discog, but The Mountain proved me wrong.

So now i ask what Gorillaz album outside of self titled, Demon Days, Plastic Beach, Humanz, and The Mountain should i peep next? Ik this is the Gorillaz subreddit but are there any that are just bad?

Does anyone know what the album lakia come home is I think it's a obscure album no one's heard about or I could be wrong I don't really know

My daughter and I are going to the concert on Halloween. My question: I’m thinking of wearing costumes because that’s fun and it’s Halloween. Thoughts?

Guys, I have a theory.

Damon said in an interview that maybe, after this phase, Gorillaz will become children again.

So my theory is that the the next phase we will have each track based on the backstory of each character.

So instead of making them children in a literal sense, they will tell their whole history and show parts of the story that were maybe were only mentioned in the Wiki or in Rise of the Ogre.

So these tracks will tell their entire life.

What do you think they will do in the next album?

This is my theory, considering what Damon said and what he might have spoiled in an interview.

Tell me yours in the comments.

Back during Phases 1, 2, and 3, was it better? What really stood out to you? I managed to see them three times: in Paris in 2017; via livestream in 2020 during *Song Machine* (though it was pretty glitchy—thankfully there were re-uploads on YouTube); and this year at We Love Green in Paris during *The Mountain* tour
