best news all day!!
Stoked.
Their creativity is something else.
Subscribing. The first two are among my all-time favorites.
Can’t wait.
An anonymous person sends the news that Barstow, California based newspaper Desert Dispatch is reporting that a Gorillaz video shoot took place on Sunday (December 12th) in Calico Ghost Town, California.
The newspaper reports that a representative from HSI Productions, who refused to be named due to a confidentiality agreement, said the video has a ‘Mad Max’ style theme and will most likely premier on music and entertainment television stations early next year. Calico Ghost Town is a preserved mining town from the days of the Old West which is now a park and tourist attraction.
You can read the full story on the Desert Dispatch site here. Also featured on the site is a photograph from the shoot, possibly showing Pete Candeland , longtime co-director of Gorillaz video shoots (the man in the hat).

get. fucking. hype.
Can’t wait for the videos. I demand more Murdoc shenanigans and pelvic thrusting.
Soooo fucking hyped! Loved this band from the beginning. Peep my name for gods sake =)
Interested to see the direction this album is going so far. This sampled, electric feel is a bit nostalgic of 80’s new wave/pop with the traditional gorillaz collabrative touch. Regardless of how it turns out i’m gonna love it. I’m really digging Stylo so far.
Cannot…Effing…Wait.
Good news to hear indeed, I’ve been needing something new and fresh to listen to.
Remixes of Gorillaz album already in the works:

Gorillaz make an appearance in Uncut magazine (cover dated February 2010) this month as part of Uncut’s preview of 2010 feature. There is an all-new piece of Phase 3 artwork and Murdoc make some comments about Plastic Beach although he doesn’t name the guest stars, rather he describes them. The magazine says

**SUMMARY OF THIS POST-
- Single out by end of month, January 26th
- Russel Hobbs is rumored to be dead
- Tracklist
- Bruce Willis to be in video
- New Fan Site coming**
Hot on the news that Gorillaz have signed a deal with All Access (see the news item below) to provide them with some kind of fan site, is the news (thanks to The British Sushi for sending this in) that an official All Access site is listing a Gorillaz single ‘Stylo’ with a release date of 26 January. You can view the information on the site here, scroll down to 26 January on the calendar to see the Gorillaz listing.
In related news, German Shake sends the news that some of the uploads to Youtube of the demo of Stylo, played by Damon on his Radio 1 takeover in January, have been blocked due to a copyright claim by the IFPI. Some are still available however.
orion70 sends the news that the CNN website reports here that Gorillaz have signed a deal with All Access Today (a company that delivers online and digital solutions and projects, such as ‘Fan Clubs’, Merchandising, Ticketing, etc - their site here )to provide them with a ‘fan site’ (in the sense of a site for fans rather than an independent site by fans) based on the Cisco Eos ‘social entertainment’ web platform. You can get an idea of what the Cisco Eos platform is capable of by looking at the Cisco Eos site. Key features are the ability to create accounts on the site, interact with other fans, share and view content, etc.
Below is a alleged tracklisting which has been doing the rounds:-
- Intro
- Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach

"==Death==
- On December 27th Russel Hobbs died, supposedly of a heart attack. Murdoc release this information on January 7th in an interview that is yet to be released to the general public. Murdoc doubt that it was causes by a heart attack, he stated that theres more than meets the eye. Gorillaz are currently looking for a replacement drummer to contributed to up-and-coming Phase Three projects. The interview will be released on 12th january 2010."
That was added to Wikipedia (the Russel Hobbs article) by the same guy who added the second album tracklisting. So make of that what you will
