#33Three more facts about the song Clint Eastwood: 1. The drum beat is just the Rock 1 preset of the Suzuki Omnichord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDX6l9_58RA 2. Del tha Funkee Homosapien wrote the full lyrics in 30 minutes with the help of the book "How to Write a Hit Song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq2qSq6NpNY#t=373 3. The first version of the song didn't feature Del, but the British group Phi Life Cypher:…
> The drum beat is just the Rock 1 preset of the Suzuki Omnichord I wonder if you need to pay royalties or get permission for that kind of thing... or is license to use it commercially included in the price of the instrument?
IANAL, but you don't need a license to publish yourself playing a piano or a guitar, and synthesizers are also musical instruments. That said, I'm not sure that's ever been tested in court, so if someone wanted to be a right-wing asshole about it, like take over Suzuki and try to get royalties from every hit song that used it, I guess it might be interesting.

#34Ahh... nostalgia. Gorillaz, one of my favorite bands and listened to Gorillaz, Demon Days and Plastic Beach many times. "I'm useless, but not for long The future is coming on"
is coming on is coming on

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
What does 55:55 mean? I know ifkyk but idk and would like to k.
I wish I could but literally can't explain it because it's something I came to know via symbology and not via words, so I don't have the words to try and pass it on to others :( Have you ever seen Interstella 5555? It's a documentary actually.
I cannot parse this response

#36Thanks for posting this. I 'member seeing this video originally on MTV at like 3AM. Instantly captivated. I'm a huge fan to this day, but there's something uniquely special about all the Phase 1 stuff: the album, the B-sides (or “G” Sides lol), the explorable Flash Kong Studios site, the DVD, Jamie Hewlett's art†, the fact that the eponymous album as originally released is 55:55 (iykyk) There's also a track on Deltro…
I don't think Robert Del Naja is Banksy? I think that's kind of an urban legend.
Re: Making the video that made Gorillaz
#37I know they were a hugely popular band, but I the only song I know is the one from the video.
You're missing out! Gorillaz, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach are all great albums. Their other albums are ok. Blur is a great band too, pretty sure I like all of their albums. Also, if you like that rap verse, check out Del the Funky Homosapien/Deltron
If you love Demon Days and Plastic Beach, one of the things you probably also love (know it or not) is De La Soul.

>Deltron 3030 (an album I liked a lot more when it was new than I do now)
I only discovered Deltron 3030 a couple of years ago, fucking love it. Why do you like it less now? Is there a controversy around it or him?

This came up recently, but generally musical instruments include a license for any music performance with that instrument.
Includes: "STYLES, VOICES, PERFORMANCES, PATTERNS, ARPEGGIOS"
