to binge..

If I didn't love the Gorillaz enough already Coachella just made me love them even more, more than I could imagine. Their whole set at Coachella was great! It was amazing to see the mastermind behind the band, Damon Albarn sing live and with Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon up on the stage with him. In this clip they are performing my favorite track of "Plastic Beach" called "To Binge." The song is so beautiful and relaxing. I don't see how anyone cannot love this song, the lyrics are breathtaking. In my mind I picture 2-D and Noodle singing it to each other, just like how Damon and Yukimi are singing it to each other on stage. This was definitely the highlight of the set for me. And I was so happy when they played their older songs like "Clint Eastwood" & "Feel Good Inc." The whole crowd couldn't help but sing along too. I don't think even one person was not singing along to those two songs. The Gorillaz know how to put on a good show and sound so great live. I read a lot of comments from people criticizing the Gorillaz for being boring & others saying they expected more, I strongly disagree. They delivered and made my Coachella experience complete.

Lovely view from the balcony of the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Beautiful green grass, trees, and bushes in the foreground with clear blue skies, tall buildings in the background. Corrupted by a line of smog flowing through the atmosphere.

Plastic Beach

About a month ago I posted an entry about my excitement for the Gorillaz's new album "Plastic Beach" to be released. And after owning it for quite some time now I have to say that it is simply Brilliant! I listened to it from start to finish and after it was done I had a full appreciation for it. There are so many great songs to dance along with and slower songs that have beautiful lyrics to listen to and a good number of hip-hop tracks. Collaborations with Snoop Dogg to Lou Reed, from Mos Def to Little Dragon, it just shows how many artists wanted to be featured on this album. If you have not listened to "Plastic Beach" yet you're definitely missing out.
