I'm in there cooking dinner and Mr. B is listening to some concert on TV and I said "Hey baby, what is that?" and he says "Gorillaz." and I say "I've heard of them but I thought they were rap not spoken word poetry slam gospel choir stuff." and he says "Well you were wrong then weren't you, Ms. Square?" and I say "Well I guess so."
Have you heard this .... errr... ensemble? What is their genre? What do you think of them?
And they dont really fit any genre..
At lastfm.com, for example, the user tags most added to them are alternative, hip-hop, rock, electronic, indie, trip-hop, pop and electronica.
That pretty much spans the entire music scene now, doesnt it? :wink:
Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyy
Hey Bay-beeeeee
I wanna know-oh-oh
If you'll be my girl . . .
Cool. That's a MUCH better pick-up line than, "Hey, baby, what's your sign?" Brand new series of categories needed. I'd say I'm sort of sci-fi noir. So what's YOUR genre?
Oh yeah! And then she'll say "I'm all, like, Gorillaz" and you will be left wishing the answer was as easy as "Libra".
Mr. B's description: Pink Floyd meets Parliment Funkadelic.
I say: But you ignore the pinch of Beck and the dash of Cirque de Soliel.
Mr. B says I make it too complicated!
He's so silly.
Oh - and the Kinks circa "Sunny Afternoon"
I like them. They make for really good workout music.
