Make My Day

A taste of the new Gorillaz!

Gorillaz - "Dirty Harry"

I hear 2D is hooking up with Lindsay Lohan. Poor Jem.

UPDATE: Thighs writes in:

oddly enuff, part of the new 'Dirty Harry' song comes from the song 'I Need A Gun' off of 'Democrazy,' the limited edition solo disc Damon Albarn recorded in hotels while on tour in america. you can listen to the mp3 here.
Thanks Mike. There's also an acapella version of "Dirty Harry" on the Internerd if anyone's itching to make a mashup.

It's not too bad. Not as pop/catchy as their last album, but not too bad.

this track isn't too representative of the rest of the album, which has some serious bangers on it. it will definitely be better than the first album. dangermouse is on fire these days.

Am I in a time warp? "Dirty Harry" was on the first Gorillaz album, wasn't it?
