Time to go (Bananaz)

Well, I'm off to Whitby Gothic Weekend this weekend, which is a gothic music festival for those of you that don't know. However, I'm heading out today, so I won't be updating this blog for the next few days. I'll have a lowdown on how it was when I return, though I don't know when, as I have to catch the coach back at some stupidly early time on the Sunday morning, so I'l probably be in a zombiefied state.

On a completely different topic, Ceri Levy has released a documentary called 'Bananaz' on the world-famous animated band, the Gorillaz. However, unlike past Gorillaz projects, this is a real-life behind the scenes look at the band in action, so it unleashes them in a whole new perspective. I've been fascinated by the entire Gorillaz concept for years, so I find it interesting to finally see how it all came together, and the (often hilarious) relationship between Jamie Hewlett met Damon Albarn. Oh, and the music is awesome too! It's not a short-lived documentary either, covering the bands' progress from 2000 till 2006, with a 91 minuite run-time. It's a must-watch for any hardcore Gorillaz fan. It's certainly more than enough to tide anyone over till the next Gorillaz album.

The official website can be found at http://www.bananazfilm.com/, and a link to the free streaming version can be found there too.

Enojy your weekends people!
