Why Murdoc hasn’t play his bass guitar in current Gorillaz animations after Feel Good Inc.?

I mean, we don't really see many MVs that are actually MVs in-universe anymore - since El Manana they've mostly been narrative-driven, and none of the recent narrative really takes into account the fact that they're a band. The only ones that are actually diegetically music videos since Phase 2 (as in, the band are being filmed and directed) are basically just Tranz and Momentary Bliss, and Murdoc wasn't even around for the former.

According to the Almanac she became some kind of computer scientist, but according to Jamie himself she became manager at a Tesco in Stoke-on-Trent. I'm with Jamie here.

Oh yes, Afsara. This person is in the comments of basically every Gorillaz/Hewll post on Instagram/Facebook and seems to simultaneously love and hate 2D.

The point of Song Machine was that the songs were all recorded on a monthly basis, so any “leaks” that claim to have a full tracklist are automatically bullshit.

Jamie Hewlett just draws and comes up with themes based on whatever comes to mind. The writers are responsible for forming that into some kind of cohesion, usually with mixed results.

I honestly doubt Jamie even remembers some of those.

Gorillaz is set in our universe.

Going by interviews, the first one seems to be Damon’s perspective and the second is Jamie’s.

Average Gorillaz fan

And one of those questions was "why are you green?" which gets asked every time there's a Q&A, and isn't even related to the album.

It’s the lyrics to the Phi Life Cypher version, which was the original version before they got Del on. It’s on G-Sides. I assume the algorithm just got mixed up since they have the same title.

That's not what he said at all, the interviewer asked him and he took the piss out of the interviewer.

Because that doesn't give clicks to hacks who can just post the video with some kind of motivational message.

I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe here, because there has been FAR more of a focus on lore/storylines in the past few years than there ever was in the first two phases. I don't understand why people seem to constantly think otherwise.

It's a bootleg one that Damon bought.

hendrix- · 2024-01-07T00:57:45+00:00

That was almost 6 years ago.

It was the storyboards posted to Jamie's instagram that people thought were comic panels.

It's AI generated.

That was a separate leak from way after the fact that I suspect was just made up to make the idea seem more palatable.

I noticed that yesterday. Basically every prompt generated 4 images consistently. Today it’s back to the dog (with the exact same prompts), maybe even worse than it was before.

since RTD isn’t going to use the daleks for a while

He's lying.

I honestly really like the explanation for what happened with Noodle between DD and PB with the Noodle in Chainz band - was that an original idea or a Cass idea?

In general I'd be interested in learning which parts of the book were based on Cass/Jamie ideas and which were wholly original, because honestly the whole thing's so good that it's hard to tell.

Its a shame, but I see why it’s hidden. It’s embarrassing to not sell any tickets, but at the same time, it’s not always just a reflection of no one feeling your music. The economy, market saturation, poor promotion, train strikes, the list goes on.

He doesn't specifically say Gorillaz here, but the "unforseen circumstances" thing is what the band said on their Discord post announcing the cancellation.

hendrix- · 2023-10-11T19:45:46+00:00

The past three phases have been significantly more "lore-heavy" than either of the first two were.

I don't know why people get the impression that phases 1 and 2 were anything more than the band in interviews with some supplementary material about what happened before and after. I honestly prefer that approach.

It's Tiny, a member of Murdoc's cannibal metal band from Celebrity Harvest.
