And Nick Frost and Edgar Wright.
Throw in whoever made 28 Days Later.


the blur
the david bowie man
the Queen

Queen: Fuck yeah
Bowie: Sure
Blur: Damon Albarn, FTW. Gorillaz too. :rock:

Also: the word "bollocks". I'm a big fan of that one.

I don't think Danger Mouse is on The Good, The Bad, and The Queen at all...
AFAIK he's just on the last Gorillaz CD.

" Well one day I was sitting at home threatening the kids, and I looked out of the hole in the wall and sees this tank drive up and one of Dinsdale's boys gets out and he comes up, all nice and friendly like, and says Dinsdale wants to have a talk with me. So he chains me to the back of the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's. And Dinsdale's there in the conversation pit with Doug and Charles Paisley, the baby crusher, and a couple of film producers and a man they called 'Kierkegaard', who just sat there biting the heads of whippets and Dinsdale sayd 'I hear you've been a naughty boy Clement' and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and pulls me liver out, and I said my name's not Clement and then he loses his temper and nails my head to the floor."

:rolleyes: danger mouse isn't a rapper. he's a producer.

the rapper on demon days, iirc is black thought.

danger mouse is taking the place of dan the automater as producer. black thought is taking the place of del as rapper.

TDG only knows him because of that Cartoon Network "Danger Doom" album.

And he only know the Gorillaz because they have cartoon alter-egos.

Are you sensing the pattern here?
