Gorillaz for your face

The Gorillaz have just dropped their new album, "Plastic Beach", the first single from which has been waves for the past week or so. Stylo featuring Mos Def, Bobby Womack (and Bruce Willis???) is a super chill tune and delivers exactly what we've come to expect from a group whose members seem to be entirely computer generated. For all that though, they do make some serious music videos.



You can usually gauge the heat of a track on the charts by the speed with which beatmakers scramble together remixes



Chiddy Bang have proven their worth before, cranking out one of the hottest remixes out there for the track that at least for me really defined 2008, MGMT's "Kids"



I can't get enough of the dude doing the Harlem Shake while riding a skateboard at 0:42. Someone also tipped me off as to the uncanny similarities between this video and the N64 big head cheats on such classic video games as NFL Blitz and Goldeneye.

...although to be fair there were quite a few contenders for the title of best remix.


To send you on your way, a little something for the "I been lovin' 'em since..." die hard Gorillaz fans, who could forget the classic:


SoulChild also thought it'd be fun to drop a pretty hot remix for 19-2000 as well. Can't decide which I like better.
