hey all - take a vacation on the plastic beach
Gorillaz, the cartoon superband fronted and created by Blur's Damon Albarn is back with a 3rd album that continues whatever it is that was started by Clint Eastwood back in 2001. Blending elements of hip hop, trip hop, chillout vibes, and beach music from some strange future, "Plastic Beach" pleases and provides a completely different soundtrack to your day. i'm going thru my first listen courtesy of npr.org and i find it completely enjoyable and totally unexpected.
certain to be heard all summer, streaming this week until the album drops next week

oh - and if this form of electro-trip hop isn't your thing; go old school with my current favorite song "Boogie" by Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. It's like watching James Brown, Otis Redding, and the Blues Brothers all at once. if i could hire those guys to play my 40th birthday party, i would do it in a heartbeat.
