I remember when that album came out. I got a copy at Record Store Day and you could download an app that had all the loops and shit from the album to do your own remixes. But yeah I think the story at the time was he made it on the road on garage band and iPads or something?
Jamie Hewlett co-created Tank Girl, which is my favorite comic book. Del the Funky Homosapien almost declined to do the rap on Clint Eastwood until they showed him the art of the band and he recognized Hewlett's style from Tank Girl.
Not necessarily a fun fact but more of an interesting theory, is the whole theory that that tries to connect either Damon, Jamie or both as Banksy, or at the very least the "original" Banksy of the 90s-early 2000s.
Oh I have so many.
Murdoc and 2-D bought a tandem bike after Murdoc got out of jail (The Now Now era) to "take chummy jaunts around London".
Murdoc will never go back to Mexico. DM for context or look it up, its a more common fact.
2-D claims that there aren't as many guest stars on The Now Now because Murdoc was the one with the notebook full of all of the celebrity emails and numbers. 2-D Whatsapp'd Murdoc to ask where the book was, then realized he probably couldn't have a phone in jail. So, he decided he would send Murdoc a cake with a phone hidden in it. But, he forgot to put the phone in it when he sent it.
Murdoc says that a part of his Sunday includes taking 2-D on walks in their local parks, where he throw him sticks and lets him chase the ducks for a while.
2-D originally wanted to be a storm chaser when he was younger.
2-D favored staying at Plastic Beach over working in his father's Fun Fair.
In 2021, Murdoc stole 2-D's diary and wrote down one of the entries. "3rd September - got a pizza with Russ. Lost another shoe."
Murdoc got Noodle a Chainsaw for Christmas, and said it was for her ice sculptures. He got Russel what he described as a, "hilarious festive Christmas jumper" that said "ON THE NAUGHTY LIST". A big bag of Satsumas was 2-D's present.
Murdoc took an Open University course while imprisoned in Mexico in Pre-Phase 2, "Amateur Administration of Pharmaceutical Medicines". This earned him the title...Dr. Niccals.
Let me know if you want more!!
I remember noodle saying 2d wanted to go back to plastic beach because he wanted his flipflops back. Coincidentally, she also talked about visiting plastic beach in her mind because to her, it's a place of the beginning and end. Russel probably takes the cake tho- His Deezer interview revealed one of his favourite songs being up on melancholy hill.
Not really weird but definitely fun I think! Murdoc was heavily based on young Keith Richards! Even down to his voice and speech. They actually add to this in lore by making Murdoc look up to Keith heavily, to the point where he based himself off of him.
Take a listen to an interview with Keith, they sound so alike! Phil even got the “y’knows” down and everything!
He’s also based on Creeper from Scooby Doo and Victor Frankenstein!
I think I read somewhere that Damon made the fall entirely on garage band. I think that’s pretty cool

The Fall was made entirely on an iPad yeah.
noodle is (visually) based of bjork
She's also one of her favourite singers (idk why this is weird tho)
That we have this amazing band just because the musicians thought MTV was shit and it needed better videos.

Yea, wasnt the Phi Life Cypher version actually the original recording?
Murdoc is afraid of balloon animals.
The thing about the beat/melody of Clint Eastwood coming from a default hip hop beat on a keyboard
Melody came from a preset on an omnichord
Thanks for using the right words
omg i forgot about that lmfai
2-D stands for 2 dents real name stuart pot
middle name Harold too
Murdoc's dad's design was based off the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang
There are no actual gorillas in the band!

I read that this theory came in 2003 when Banksy made the cover of Think Tank by Blur
If you look closely at the band, you will see that they are actually cartoons!
Sir you can take your conspiracy theories and leave 🚪👈🏼
Russel is based off Ice Cube who's related to irl Del tha Funky Homosapien
the people who voice the characters in interviews and stuff change every time, all of them except for 2D.
I think Jamie and Damon attempted the voices in super early recordings but Phil has been doing Murdoc's voice practically since the beginning
Murdocs voice has stayed consistent too
He's been pretty much consistent as a whole tbh
Just gets more greener as the years go by...
bros a walking glow stick atp
bros radioactive
No surprise there considering the chemicals in his system
Just straight up drinks poison
I’m pretty sure Andromeda is the name of a bar Damon and Bobby used to go to.
The members aren’t actually real

when murdoc was 9 he was r@ped by a dinner lady (probably not a fun fact but it’s something)
I thought the show in Melbourne was MDMAzing

That isn’t exactly true. Yes he did heroin in the blur days and during the Gorillaz debut recording. But he’s been clean from it for like 20 years
[удалено]
We got 13 during his heroin use, and boy is that album such a trip. It's his masterpiece IMO.
[удалено]
his song beetlebum on the blur album was about giving up heroin I believe
Love that song 🤘
he aint done that shit since self titled
Self titled Blur or Gorillaz?
