Stepping into the animated world of Gorillaz's "Demon Days," two passionate music fans embark on a track-by-track exploration of the groundbreaking 2005 album that cemented the virtual band's place in music history.
The conversation delves deep into the fictional band members—2D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs—examining how their elaborate backstories contribute to the album's mystique. As each song unfolds, from the haunting intro through chart-toppers like "Feel Good Inc." and "Dirty Harry," our hosts react in real-time, discovering new layers and connections within Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's ambitious creation.
Beyond the infectious singles, this episode highlights what makes "Demon Days" a true concept album. The duo unpacks its diverse musical influences—spanning hip-hop, electronic, rock, and world music—while noting the contributions from collaborators like De La Soul, MF DOOM, and Dennis Hopper. Their analysis reveals the album's environmental themes, technological commentary, and spiritual questions that prove increasingly prescient almost two decades later.
What emerges is a celebration of artistic vision that challenges musical boundaries. From the apocalyptic narrative of "Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head" to the Beach Boys-inspired harmonies closing the album, listeners gain fresh appreciation for both the hits and overlooked album cuts. By the final segment, where both hosts share their personal top three non-hit tracks, you'll want to experience Gorillaz's masterpiece with newly opened ears.
Whether you're a longtime Gorillaz fan or discovering their work for the first time, this deep dive captures why "Demon Days" remains a landmark achievement in modern music—where animation, storytelling, and sonic innovation create something truly extraordinary.

Great, great album.
Second studio album from theGorillaz Virtual band, created

There's like four members.
It's like I don't know optimusprime and I don't know.
I'm yeah, like, uh, there'snoodle.
I know just off the top of myhead who else Russell Hobbs on
drums, yeah, noodles in there.
Murdoch, nichols and, yeah, 2d,that's right, okay, and it's
(01:17):
weird Like they all have likethese elaborate those that you
know they're fictitionalcharacters, of course, they're
virtual, but you know they'rereal to the fans.
There's a rabid fan base.
I'm looking atgorillasfandomcom really
interesting.
It's got all kinds of likebackstory stuff, like, for
example, there's there's like 2D, okay, and 2D is male, 46, born
(01:46):
May 23rd 1978, hartford,charlotte, england.
So I don't know how they getthis, but anyway, relatives are
David Tuspot is the father, themother is Rachel Tuspot, I don't
know.
There's other stuff.
It's crazy, though you can godeeper and deeper, like way, way
down.
So anyway, yeah, reallycreative backstories of all the
(02:11):
characters, the songs.
They frequently have guestartists.
I think there's a number ofdifferent people who do some
appearances, do some work onthis album.
There's De La Soul and a bunchof other people like, do you
know, do some appearances, dosome work on this album like
there's like de la soul and uh,like a bunch of other people.
Uh, yeah, we'll look through thelist, but anyway, this is
(02:34):
number one in uk.
Back in 2005 when it came outuh, six times platinum in the uk
, double platinum in the us.
Their big lead single was uh,feel good Inc.
Um, huge, you know.
No, I don't know anybody whodoesn't like that song.
Um, the band had some othergood albums too After this.
I like plastic beach that cameout 2010.
(02:55):
Um, but nevertheless, uh,really cool stuff.
Tim has seen him once, so it'dbe interesting to get his take
on it.
He's jamming out right now andhe's feeling it, he's loving it,
he's a fan and he is a littlepunk, but we love him.
Anyway, yeah, damon Albarn, ofcourse, the founder of Blur, or
(03:21):
the lead singer, leader of theband, this guy, jamie Hewlett,
really, really accomplishedartist and you know what?
Regarding the songs on thealbum, there's some good little
nuggets in there.
It's 15 songs, so we're goingto listen to all of them, but
they're quick hitters and at theend we'll listen to all the
(03:42):
songs and then we'll give youour top three non-hits.
That's always our favorite partof the, so if you want to fast
forward to the end or listenthrough it too, because as we
listen to the song we're goingto yuck it up.
We've got all kinds of funnysound bites that we're going to
weave in here and there and kickit.
(04:04):
So I think there's somecrossover collaborations that
they've had with, likethroughout their careers, tina
wayne, with the talking headstom tom club there's.
They're sort of, uh, one of thesame in, in a sense, sibo mato,
miho Hattori.
Clint Eastwood is a single froma previous album too.
(04:29):
So Clint Eastwood and DirtyHarry is on this album.
So they must have some sort ofan obsession with Dirty Harry, I
guess.
Yeah, so just sort of put twoand two together.
But yeah, that's the time whenTim's tim's packing it in, he's
(04:50):
getting a swig, he's doing thedance around as he normally does
, he, he's getting all situatedand he can't wait to get to the,
uh, the sound banks.
He's trying to be, disciplined Ifeel he's trying to be,
disciplined.
There he is.
How's it going Tim?
How you doing bud?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Round, and round we go.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here we are, yeah, yeah, wow.

Well, I saw Damon and the Gorillas whatever iteration
that was at the Merriweather inColumbia.

Yeah, that was.
I want to say 2011 or something.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, so this one had been out by.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It was Plastic Beach, I think, was the most recent
album, and there's right, a lotof hip-hop, a lot of rap and um,
they mostly played new stuff,which is cool.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
They really didn't play any old stuff all pretty
much from there maybe a couplebut uh and it's like a lot of
david, uh or damon damon albarnis what I meant to say.

He makes no qualms that hemakes these songs still like a
middle school child on like apreset recorder.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He's like low tech, Low tech, and then it becomes
high tech.
I think is the way the bandoperates.
He wants to show his range, andyou know yeah, they sort of
spit a little riff around andthen go for it well, they, they
weave in a lot of differentmusical styles.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean, because most of the time he's with, he's got
a recorder and then he's gotrappers.
Like you know, there's somehip-hop, there's electronic,
there's world music.
You know they do some latinsinging, there's all kinds of

whole script.

because now I'm starting tothink well, well, but there is
music videos where they do thesesongs and right they're on

This is Dennis Hopps.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Story time everybody.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
Sounds familiar.
So, this is part of the litanyof excess and violence that was
growing in the world belowSounds familiar.
Harmony with the spirit of themountain called monkey was
enough.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
So this is part of the concept, this evil kind of a
thing.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Yeah sunglasses.
They came in camouflage, hiddenbehind dark glasses.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Get some sunlight in your eyes, folks.
Come on now.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
You saw shadows.
You see without the truth ofthe eyes the happy folk were
blind, falling out of airplanesand hiding out in holes Waiting
for the sunset to come.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
People going home Jump out from behind them and
shoot them in the head.
Now, everybody dancing fordance of the dead.
For dance of the dead, thedance of the dead.
The dance of the dead.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
We're leaving this wide open.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
This is so freaky.
It's home, it's home In time.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
Strange folk found their way into the higher
reaches of the mountain, and itwas there that they found the
caves of other lands.
I'm not afraid anymore.
With sincerity, and beauty.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
By chance they stumbled upon a place where all
their souls come to rest thestrange folk, the strange folk.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
You know what's up.
Shout out to the band StrangeFolk.
Never quite caught on.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
That was an actual band, was it?
Speaker 2 (50:33):
good, they're okay, we'll check them out.
Speaker 5 (50:36):
The happy folk slept restlessly, their dreams invaded
by shadowed figures Diggingaway at their souls Every day.
People would wait and stare atthe mountain.
Why was it bringing darknessinto their lives?
Speaker 2 (50:50):
That actual wind.
Speaker 5 (50:51):
There's just somebody going deeper and deeper into
the mountain holes began toappear, bringing with them a
cold and bitter wind thatchilled the very soul of the
monkey.
For the first time, the happyfolk felt fearful, for they knew
that soon the monkey would stirfrom its deep sleep.
And there came a sound, distantfirst, that grew into a
(51:13):
castrophony so immense that itcould be heard far away in space
.
There were no screams.
There was no time themountain-cold monkey had spoken.
There was no time the mountaincold monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
And then there's like a whole story here.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
I just Some throbbing maybe.
Yeah, oh, when it all comesdown to me.
Speaker 1 (51:50):

Get lost in heaven.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
More God.
It's like heaven and hell.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
There's a lot of that going on in this.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
It's tricky, very tricky.
Technical it's technical.
Speaker 3 (52:18):
It's technical Crack on the corner and someone dead,
far coming out of the monkey'shead the mountain Monkey.
Okay, I got locks on the gate.
Speaker 1 (53:01):

Yeah, okay, oh, wow Okay.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
All right, when are we at?
Oh Demon Day.
This is the last one, right?
Speaker 6 (54:12):
Who like to live in an environment of constant noise
and to keep their minds busy.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
Alan Thanks.
Speaker 3 (54:24):
Alan Wong.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
Nice strings.
Huh, Nice little touch.
Speaker 3 (54:38):
A little transcendence in here.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
Little beach boys.
It's kind of like a pet sound.
It's kind of a vibe to it.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Good call there.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
A little bit of Prince mixed in.
It's like that annoying fuzz inthe background.
(55:43):
I don't like it.
Settle lines in your 20.
Yeah, a little raga, a littleraga.
Settle lines intertwining yeah,a little raga, a little raga.
(56:05):
Is it supposed to be Noodle?
Doing this, I keep forgettingthe characters.
Now, you don't want to go there, so I've been trying to be
disciplined to not go back intothe characters I'm dancing, I
(56:36):
don't know.
We're getting deep here now,Not yourself drugs and TV.
(57:07):
Wow, this is an upliftingmessage here, right?
Oh yeah, so this is supposed tobe sort of like a parody of or
not a parody, but just sort of acondemnation of technology,
just sort of a condemnation oftechnology.
(57:28):
Yeah, the disconnect withnatural world I would say so.
Speaker 3 (57:33):
I mean it's ironic, but because you know, it's not
like just guitars and drumcircles, but heavy layering of
musical instruments andtechnology.
So the conundrum there is maybethey're just trying to wrestle
(57:59):
with it themselves, with itthemselves and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
Is this an environmental type of a
statement?
Turn yourself around into thesun.
I think so, I think so.
Speaker 3 (58:14):
Their inner cupboards have like pictures of junkyards
with characters on them.
Speaker 2 (58:20):
Yeah, this is all supposed to be thought provoking
in some way.
This is there's a lot going on.
We're doing a lot, alan.
Speaker 4 (58:31):
Is not the isolated conscious ego.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Oh, alan Watt, Okay.
Speaker 4 (58:36):
That is only a game.
Speaker 2 (58:38):
Alright, we've got to get to the top three.
Let's get into this.
What do you got?
I mean, I got a list here forus.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
I'm more of, maybe, a melancholy nude usually.
I think if it was honorablemention to Kids With Guns, last
Living Soul, last living soul,el Manana, yeah, all alone.
(59:09):
But I'm going to go with, themore I think, touching songs for
my top three, starting withnumber three being every planet
we reach is dead.
Has that?
Speaker 1 (59:20):
Oh yeah, sort of uh we were really yucking it up
during that time right, it was agreat song.
Speaker 2 (59:27):
It was a good song.
Speaker 3 (59:28):
Regardless it was.
It was smooth Again, maybe hadmore qualities, like you
mentioned about the green.
You know being green andenvironmental and what have you?
Speaker 1 (59:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:42):
Because if their comic is in the future and
they're looking back on a deadearth, that's kind of sad.
So Right.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:50):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:53):
You know what I'm going to go with.
That was for my number three aswell.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:56):
Every planet we reach is is dead.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Yeah, because I just I just thought it had a great.
Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I mean, I felt good when I was listening to it.
It didn't feel as sullen assome of the other things so it
had a good beat to it, so I'mgoing to go with that well,
carrying right along with what Isaid I would do, which is the
more sensitive tracks.
Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
I'm going Don along with what I said I would do,
which is the more sensitivetracks I'm going.
Don't get lost in heaven.
It's a yeah that has thetouching violin helps round out
this sort of concept album feel.
Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
You know, what's interesting about that is like,
aside from the intro, that haslike the least number of listens
, like I mean, when we look onSpotifyify, I mean that's
transient.
Yeah, I didn't know, I justit's uh, it's like I think it
speaks to the point that, um,people aren't listening to some
of the really good songs thatare at the end of the albums you
(01:00:58):
know like we're overlookingthings, so that's, I mean, I
think it's a good option.
That is a great song and I'mgonna go with, like demon days
is my number two wow, okay, Ithought it was.
Uh, I think I got you know likea, a meaning that I didn't get
you know.
Um, it had a good message andit made me think, and so for
that reason I'm gonna make thatmy number two.
(01:01:19):
Wow, okay yeah, wow, we're atthe last one.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
We what's your number one?
I'm going demon days.
Ah, number one again.
Uh, let's, let's all,collectively, as a society, you
know, try to drug ourselves withTV and, you know, reality TV
shows and bullshit, uh, and getout in nature and, uh, fight for
(01:01:46):
it.
Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Yeah, yeah, no good good comment there to piggyback
off of my comment from numbertwo.
And uh, yeah, I was going tosay don't get lost in heaven, is
is my number one.
I thought that was uh it wasreally deep stuff, it was heady,
it had uh, I like it, I likehow it didn't.
Uh, you know, I think, like the, the songs are kind of fighting
(01:02:09):
with one another.
There's, like you know they arethe songs about heaven, the ones
about hell, and it just allkind of like, uh, it's all a
package, it kind of go hand inhand for that, for that.
You know they play off of oneanother.
So yeah, all right, man, sowe'll put a bow on this.
(01:02:30):
Good, good call on this.
Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Yeah, yeah, excellent album.
Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
All right, well, thanks for listening.

David Tuspot is the father, themother is Rachel Tuspot, I don't
know.
There's other stuff.
It's crazy, though you can godeeper and deeper, like way, way
down.
So anyway, yeah, reallycreative backstories of all the
(02:11):
characters, the songs.
They frequently have guestartists.
I think there's a number ofdifferent people who do some
appearances, do some work onthis album.
There's De La Soul and a bunchof other people like, do you
know, do some appearances, dosome work on this album like
there's like de la soul and uh,like a bunch of other people.
Uh, yeah, we'll look through thelist, but anyway, this is
(02:34):
number one in uk.
Back in 2005 when it came outuh, six times platinum in the uk
, double platinum in the us.
Their big lead single was uh,feel good Inc.
Um, huge, you know.
No, I don't know anybody whodoesn't like that song.
Um, the band had some othergood albums too After this.
I like plastic beach that cameout 2010.
(02:55):
Um, but nevertheless, uh,really cool stuff.
Tim has seen him once, so it'dbe interesting to get his take
on it.
He's jamming out right now andhe's feeling it, he's loving it,
he's a fan and he is a littlepunk, but we love him.
Anyway, yeah, damon Albarn, ofcourse, the founder of Blur, or
(03:21):
the lead singer, leader of theband, this guy, jamie Hewlett,
really, really accomplishedartist and you know what?
Regarding the songs on thealbum, there's some good little
nuggets in there.
It's 15 songs, so we're goingto listen to all of them, but
they're quick hitters and at theend we'll listen to all the
(03:42):
songs and then we'll give youour top three non-hits.
That's always our favorite partof the, so if you want to fast
forward to the end or listenthrough it too, because as we
listen to the song we're goingto yuck it up.
We've got all kinds of funnysound bites that we're going to
weave in here and there and kickit.
(04:04):
So I think there's somecrossover collaborations that
they've had with, likethroughout their careers, tina
wayne, with the talking headstom tom club there's.
They're sort of, uh, one of thesame in, in a sense, sibo mato,
miho Hattori.
Clint Eastwood is a single froma previous album too.
(04:29):
So Clint Eastwood and DirtyHarry is on this album.
So they must have some sort ofan obsession with Dirty Harry, I
guess.
Yeah, so just sort of put twoand two together.
But yeah, that's the time whenTim's tim's packing it in, he's
(04:50):
getting a swig, he's doing thedance around as he normally does
, he, he's getting all situatedand he can't wait to get to the,
uh, the sound banks.
He's trying to be, disciplined Ifeel he's trying to be,
disciplined.
There he is.
How's it going Tim?
How you doing bud?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Round, and round we go.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here we are, yeah, yeah, wow.
What do you think?
What can you tell us about thisalbum?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, I saw Damon and the Gorillas whatever iteration
that was at the Merriweather inColumbia.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, maryland.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, that was.
I want to say 2011 or something.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, so this one had been out by.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It was Plastic Beach, I think, was the most recent
album, and there's right, a lotof hip-hop, a lot of rap and um,
they mostly played new stuff,which is cool.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
They really didn't play any old stuff all pretty
much from there maybe a couplebut uh and it's like a lot of
david, uh or damon damon albarnis what I meant to say.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah but, recorder.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He's got the recorder .
He's dancing around.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
He's running around the stage.
He makes no qualms that hemakes these songs still like a
middle school child on like apreset recorder.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He's like low tech, Low tech, and then it becomes
high tech.
I think is the way the bandoperates.
He wants to show his range, andyou know yeah, they sort of
spit a little riff around andthen go for it well, they, they
weave in a lot of differentmusical styles.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean, because most of the time he's with, he's got
a recorder and then he's gotrappers.
Like you know, there's somehip-hop, there's electronic,
there's world music.
You know they do some latinsinging, there's all kinds of
stuff.
So it's a, it's good stuff andI'm I'm looking forward to
getting into it.
So, uh, any last words beforewe uh click the.

music videos where they do thesesongs and right they're on

Speaker 5 (48:52):
This is Dennis Hopps.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Story time everybody.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
Sounds familiar.
So, this is part of the litanyof excess and violence that was
growing in the world belowSounds familiar.
Harmony with the spirit of themountain called monkey was
enough.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
So this is part of the concept, this evil kind of a
thing.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Yeah sunglasses.
They came in camouflage, hiddenbehind dark glasses.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Get some sunlight in your eyes, folks.
Come on now.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
You saw shadows.
You see without the truth ofthe eyes the happy folk were
blind, falling out of airplanesand hiding out in holes Waiting
for the sunset to come.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
People going home Jump out from behind them and
shoot them in the head.
Now, everybody dancing fordance of the dead.
For dance of the dead, thedance of the dead.
The dance of the dead.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
We're leaving this wide open.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
This is so freaky.
It's home, it's home In time.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
Strange folk found their way into the higher
reaches of the mountain, and itwas there that they found the
caves of other lands.
I'm not afraid anymore.
With sincerity, and beauty.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
By chance they stumbled upon a place where all
their souls come to rest thestrange folk, the strange folk.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
You know what's up.
Shout out to the band StrangeFolk.
Never quite caught on.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
That was an actual band, was it?
Speaker 2 (50:33):
good, they're okay, we'll check them out.
Speaker 5 (50:36):
The happy folk slept restlessly, their dreams invaded
by shadowed figures Diggingaway at their souls Every day.
People would wait and stare atthe mountain.
Why was it bringing darknessinto their lives?
Speaker 2 (50:50):
That actual wind.
Speaker 5 (50:51):
There's just somebody going deeper and deeper into
the mountain holes began toappear, bringing with them a
cold and bitter wind thatchilled the very soul of the
monkey.
For the first time, the happyfolk felt fearful, for they knew
that soon the monkey would stirfrom its deep sleep.
And there came a sound, distantfirst, that grew into a
(51:13):
castrophony so immense that itcould be heard far away in space
.
There were no screams.
There was no time themountain-cold monkey had spoken.
There was no time the mountaincold monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
And then there's like a whole story here.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
I just Some throbbing maybe.
Yeah, oh, when it all comesdown to me.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Did you call me now?
Speaker 3 (51:53):

Get lost in heaven.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
More God.
It's like heaven and hell.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
There's a lot of that going on in this.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
It's tricky, very tricky.
Technical it's technical.
Speaker 3 (52:18):
It's technical Crack on the corner and someone dead,
far coming out of the monkey'shead the mountain Monkey.
Okay, I got locks on the gate.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Oh, this is, this is trippy.
What Is?

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Yeah, okay, oh, wow Okay.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
All right, when are we at?
Oh Demon Day.
This is the last one, right?
Speaker 6 (54:12):
Who like to live in an environment of constant noise
and to keep their minds busy.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
Alan Thanks.
Speaker 3 (54:24):
Alan Wong.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
Nice strings.
Huh, Nice little touch.
Speaker 3 (54:38):
A little transcendence in here.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
Little beach boys.
It's kind of like a pet sound.
It's kind of a vibe to it.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Good call there.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
A little bit of Prince mixed in.
It's like that annoying fuzz inthe background.
(55:43):
I don't like it.
Settle lines in your 20.
Yeah, a little raga, a littleraga.
Settle lines intertwining yeah,a little raga, a little raga.
(56:05):
Is it supposed to be Noodle?
Doing this, I keep forgettingthe characters.
Now, you don't want to go there, so I've been trying to be
disciplined to not go back intothe characters I'm dancing, I
(56:36):
don't know.
We're getting deep here now,Not yourself drugs and TV.
(57:07):
Wow, this is an upliftingmessage here, right?
Oh yeah, so this is supposed tobe sort of like a parody of or
not a parody, but just sort of acondemnation of technology,
just sort of a condemnation oftechnology.
(57:28):
Yeah, the disconnect withnatural world I would say so.
Speaker 3 (57:33):
I mean it's ironic, but because you know, it's not
like just guitars and drumcircles, but heavy layering of
musical instruments andtechnology.
So the conundrum there is maybethey're just trying to wrestle
(57:59):
with it themselves, with itthemselves and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
Is this an environmental type of a
statement?
Turn yourself around into thesun.
I think so, I think so.
Speaker 3 (58:14):
Their inner cupboards have like pictures of junkyards
with characters on them.
Speaker 2 (58:20):
Yeah, this is all supposed to be thought provoking
in some way.
This is there's a lot going on.
We're doing a lot, alan.
Speaker 4 (58:31):
Is not the isolated conscious ego.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Oh, alan Watt, Okay.
Speaker 4 (58:36):
That is only a game.
Speaker 2 (58:38):
Alright, we've got to get to the top three.
Let's get into this.
What do you got?
I mean, I got a list here forus.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
I'm more of, maybe, a melancholy nude usually.
I think if it was honorablemention to Kids With Guns, last
Living Soul, last living soul,el Manana, yeah, all alone.
(59:09):
But I'm going to go with, themore I think, touching songs for
my top three, starting withnumber three being every planet
we reach is dead.
Has that?
Speaker 1 (59:20):
Oh yeah, sort of uh we were really yucking it up
during that time right, it was agreat song.
Speaker 2 (59:27):
It was a good song.
Speaker 3 (59:28):
Regardless it was.
It was smooth Again, maybe hadmore qualities, like you
mentioned about the green.
You know being green andenvironmental and what have you?
Speaker 1 (59:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:42):
Because if their comic is in the future and
they're looking back on a deadearth, that's kind of sad.
So Right.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:50):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:53):
You know what I'm going to go with.
That was for my number three aswell.
Speaker 1 (59:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (59:56):
Every planet we reach is is dead.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Yeah, because I just I just thought it had a great.
Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I mean, I felt good when I was listening to it.
It didn't feel as sullen assome of the other things so it
had a good beat to it, so I'mgoing to go with that well,
carrying right along with what Isaid I would do, which is the
more sensitive tracks.
Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
I'm going Don along with what I said I would do,
which is the more sensitivetracks I'm going.
Don't get lost in heaven.
It's a yeah that has thetouching violin helps round out
this sort of concept album feel.
Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
You know, what's interesting about that is like,
aside from the intro, that haslike the least number of listens
, like I mean, when we look onSpotifyify, I mean that's
transient.
Yeah, I didn't know, I justit's uh, it's like I think it
speaks to the point that, um,people aren't listening to some
of the really good songs thatare at the end of the albums you
(01:00:58):
know like we're overlookingthings, so that's, I mean, I
think it's a good option.
That is a great song and I'mgonna go with, like demon days
is my number two wow, okay, Ithought it was.
Uh, I think I got you know likea, a meaning that I didn't get
you know.
Um, it had a good message andit made me think, and so for
that reason I'm gonna make thatmy number two.
(01:01:19):
Wow, okay yeah, wow, we're atthe last one.
Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
We what's your number one?
I'm going demon days.
Ah, number one again.
Uh, let's, let's all,collectively, as a society, you
know, try to drug ourselves withTV and, you know, reality TV
shows and bullshit, uh, and getout in nature and, uh, fight for
(01:01:46):
it.
Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Yeah, yeah, no good good comment there to piggyback
off of my comment from numbertwo.
And uh, yeah, I was going tosay don't get lost in heaven, is
is my number one.
I thought that was uh it wasreally deep stuff, it was heady,
it had uh, I like it, I likehow it didn't.
Uh, you know, I think, like the, the songs are kind of fighting
(01:02:09):
with one another.
There's, like you know they arethe songs about heaven, the ones
about hell, and it just allkind of like, uh, it's all a
package, it kind of go hand inhand for that, for that.
You know they play off of oneanother.
So yeah, all right, man, sowe'll put a bow on this.
(01:02:30):
Good, good call on this.
Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Yeah, yeah, excellent album.
Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
All right, well, thanks for listening.
Folks Take care.
Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Woo.
