(I'm so sorry)
You know how the OG Haloween movie from the 70s seems kinda basic now because it heavily influenced teh development of all subsequent horror movies? I think this is kind of the same thing, the art style of the NFT monkeys owes a lot to the art style of Gorillaz.
Isn't there a connection? I thought the ape NFTs might have been partially inspired by them.
I'm almost certain BAYC referenced these guys, thereby retroactively making them less cool (an unforgivable crime)
Also, the execs for the label Gorillaz is on made them into nfts, until Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett found out.
Gorillaz is good but have you listened to Gorillaz on repeat for 200 hours straight?
Yes. Highly recommended. Switch it up with Massive Attack's Protection as necessary.
This album really set my tastes. Before I understood what I liked genre-wise, I bought albums based on the cover art. Led to plenty of great purchases. Blindly picked up Demon Days with only the most mild exposure to hiphop or triphop before. It had so much going on, almost all of it is good enough to be a single, and the end track is transcendental shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJjQj6PkrY . I wish their future albums expanded on that gospel choir sound. Menomena is the only other band I know of that explored it outside of R&B/neo-soul and it's so damn good.
edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crvv47_MTK0 I managed to hear it in a church even. SXSW used to be an amazing paradise where you could wander around drunk into any building to find your favourite obscure bands playing off-hours. I heard one of their melodies coming from a church at like midnight and it turned out to be one of the best concerts I've been to.
somebody make the right side look like irish nationalists pls
