...says Nakamura), Gorillaz have remained as bizarre and unpredictable as ever. Their new album, G-sides, “a compilation of remixes, a couple of older songs that weren’t on the album,” according to Nakamura, betrays a flare for hip-hop that was only hinted at with Del’s slightly kitschy raps on Gorillaz.

Young, cutting-edge international designers, DJs and artists beg to visit his apartment-studio when they're in town. Heck, even kids on the street...
