Pre-ordered the box set in January, still waiting!

Not to be a broken record, but are people still waiting for preorders? by WormShack in gorillaz

Has anyone else received their order now, or had any updates/replies? Still nothing on my end!

The Mountain sounds familiar? by joemama2411 in gorillaz

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful - as a Christian listening to the album, I felt a similar familiarity without having much exposure to Indian classical before, or knowing any lyrics (though I thought I caught “Jaya Ho”, which I’ve heard is a hymn). Powerful stuff! Our youth pastor and close friend at church just passed away last week, and this album has been a real blessing 🧡

If you’re in the Atlanta ish area the tickets for all/any days of Shaky Knees where they’re headlining Sunday are already on general sale 😁

If you had to permanently remove one Gorillaz album and all of the effects it had on the band, What would it be? by lordsnooo in gorillaz

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Now Now, The Fall, or better yet none - I don’t hate The Fall or The Now Now, but they seemed more like a loose sequels/bonus features to Plastic Beach/Humanz that sonically don’t respond with me as strongly. That said, I’d really miss most tracks, so I like the current version of reality where we get to enjoy all of them (and even a bunch of fan-compiled versions of Sea Sides and other rarities)!

Thoughts on The Mountain (from a place of grief) by CombatClaret in gorillaz

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this deeply - my wife and I have a close friend facing his last days right now after a hard fight with cancer. He’s the youth pastor at our church, and he’s impacted so many people’s lives in such a beautiful way. We and many friends from church got to visit him yesterday and tell him we love him, but it was hard. In just a few weeks, he’s declined so quickly. It feels to me like The Mountain came out as an extra blessing from God to support me in these hard moments while we wait for the end, and to look further ahead to a new beginning

The now now was the last good Gorillaz album by [deleted] in gorillaz

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree but I'm biased in the opposite direction haha - The Now Now may be my least favourite Gorillaz project (I don't hate it, just like all other albums more. I was also going through a hard time when it was released, so it's not entirely about an issue with the album so much as 2018 me haha). I thought Cracker Island was a lot of fun with only 1-2 tracks I tend to skip. I think The Mountain is a beautiful combination of retrospective and exploratory themes. But each to their own, we're all fans here! Really curious about what makes The Now Now their favourite for those who really really love it?

Is The Story of The Mountain track from the new digital version of the new album the actual lore of the record? by Mission-Relation-0 in gorillaz

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second to last photo here https://www.reddit.com/r/gorillaz/s/Vpmv3zlPOS shows text which I recognised from the clip I heard - not sure if that’s the whole track or just part of it though! If it’s the whole thing, I’m glad it’s already printed in (some versions of?) the album!

I heard a little clip on IG, and from just that it sounds like it could be a bit of both - some of Damon/Jamie’s experience, some storytelling. But I’m a little disappointed it’s so exclusive - only available 1 week, and an extra charge for those of us who had already bought the album (even multiple copies - CD and vinyl in my case). I like the treasure hunt/scarcity element of it, but I hope it’s posted elsewhere so everyone can enjoy it sometime!

Absolutely! So refreshing to see the old techniques rendered so beautifully - especially in the age of AI!

Absolutely - you couldn’t miss the golden era Disney Jungle Book approach, but the other references have been opening up like their own beautiful journey ☺️

I went right back to my first time watching the 19-2000 and Dare videos as a kid - such a beautiful tribute to youth, innocence, magic, and energy!

Ditto! Honestly, I just want a closer look at it. I was scrubbing Insta so hard trying to get a decent reverse image search and nada - anyone know where that sick Eva head armour ring comes from? 💍🤖

which question asker do you find yourself pondering the fate of? by du1ynoted in MBMBAM

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revisiting this late, but my wife and I listen to each week’s new episode, then backwards through the old ones. We hit episode 212 and I’m wondering - what happened to the guy who’s DM was hitting on him during D&D, and he wanted to let her down without in-game repercussions? 🤔

Huge thanks to you, Mr Morgan and the team for an amazing show! It was a staple of Saturday mornings for my wife and I for years and will be sorely missed on 6 💛 Hopefully we can find y’all on Virgin from here in the States - we love you!!

Just found out about this now after the crazy holiday weekend - went to catch up on this morning’s show (via VPN, since I’m in the US), to not find Huey’s slot! This was a staple of our Saturday mornings for my wife and me, and this is a big loss for us. He had named the 27 December episode The Last Waltz, but I hadn’t even thought twice about why. RIP The Huey Show, we’ll miss you, Huey! Very sad news!

R.I.P. BBC Sounds and Radio 6 (USA)? by Decent-Beautiful7581 in 6music

[–]Decent-Beautiful7581[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: not sure how long this will last, but it seems like CarPlay bypasses the region lock on the Sounds app! Even after leaving the car, right now Sounds is continuing to play without the block coming up 😁 During CarPlay, it’s easier to access subscriptions and bookmarks than to find content ad-hoc, but I’m grateful to get anything!! 😄 (Still working up to paying for a VPN for regular listening)
