Sunshine in a Bag

Man, oh, man, the whole time we were watching music videos, I was just waiting for Gorillaz. Any Gorillaz music video. Because I love them. I was talking to Ballinger about how he didn't put on anything by Gorillaz, and he said, "Yeah, I would really love to have a whole hour just related to them and how their style changes as the years go on." And that would be awesome. But that didn't happen.

Still, it was really cool to see that live performance. I wish I could have been there for real because it's a very innovative thing they did. There was so much timing and testing that went into that. They talk about it in their biography Rise of the Ogre, which I have on my shelf right now don't judge me

"Cara Speller: So much work went into that performance. It's months and months and months and days and nights and weekends of everyone's time and the thought that anything about it could not be to its full potential is really heartbreaking. So yes, it's always nerve-wracking and there are always things that you never thought could go wrong that do go wrong, right at the last minute to keep you on your toes" (p. 118).

I was a little put off by the rap because it is not the original "Clint Eastwood" rap, which is so much better in every way, and I have it memorized, yes. I highly recommend checking out the "Clint Eastwood" animated music video for the original rap. (The lip syncing is also INCREDIBLE?! Like, wow.)

It's also fascinating to watch their early music videos and then look at their newer ones and see the difference.

"Clint Eastwood"

vs. "Do Ya Thing"

Two completely different techniques, even! One's 2D (no pun intended) animation and the other is CGI.

Gorillaz are fab, and I wish I had gotten into them sooner. I'm so excited for their new album in 2016!! It'll have been six years since their last one!

And with that, I am done with my 20 blogs.
