Video: Gorillaz Feat. Snoop - Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach

The mighty Snoop teamed up with Gorillaz earlier this year for the intro song on Plastic Beach, with Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach and they have just released the video to it. Snoop is on Plastic Beach and looks quite dapper in this top hat and embellished tail coat but I don't think you could expect anything less.

Video: The Mystery Jets - Dreaming Of Another World & Gorillaz cover version.

Ahead of the release of their third studio album Serotonin out in a couple of weeks, Mystery Jets have dropped the first official single from the album Dreaming Of Another World.
It's accompanying video was filmed in a French mansion on the outskirts of Paris, embracing a wistful 60's sentiment and directional duties is courtesy of Yoann Lemoine.

William Rees takes on the lead vocal on this shiny, summery pop number and I bet anyone who gives this a listen will be humming/singing along to Dreaming Of Another World in no time.

Serotonin is released on Rough Trade Records on July 2nd (Irl) and 5th (UK).




Also check out the Mystery Jets cover version of Gorillaz' On Melancholy Hill. Apart from being huge fans of the band, it was Blaine Harrison's love of zoo animals, particularly gorillas, that inspired this cover for Pocket TV. At 2.40 is where the cover version begins.

Gorillaz live on Jools Holland 27.04.10

Last nights Jools Holland was always going to be quite special with Gorillaz in the lineup and they proved why with two stunning performances. With both Mos Def and Bobby Womack on vocals, Stylo was their opening choice and rightly so as the flagship single from Plastic Beach.

This was followed by the special Record Store Day single White Flag featuring The National Orchestra For Arabic and the MC talents of Kano and Bashy.

Have a peek at the performances below, I am sure Damon Albarn is a proud man today.

Gorillaz - Stylo remixes (DJ Kofi and Labrinth)

Today I bring you two new remixes of Stylo from Gorillaz, the first from DJ Kofi and the second from Labrinth. My preference lies with the Labrinth remix which has a bit more impact and who also did a fantastic remix Hockey's Learn To Lose last year. Enjoy!

Gorillaz release Plastic Beach on March 5th (Irl).
