The Now Now

The new Gorillaz album came out today. I listened to it on Spotify whilst I was web browsing, but I wasn't paying attention that much. It's pretty good though. To really listen to it I need to have it on whilst walking or something so nothing else is distracting me.

Every time I listen to a song for the first time, I usually forget how it sounds. The only songs I remember from the Now Now are the singles that I listened to before the entire album came out.

Hopefully I can snag a copy of this on CD so I can put it onto my iPod Nano so I can listen to it properly. Yes, I still buy CDs, and yes, I still use an iPod. iPods are cool and so are CDs. They aren't really that outdated.

I'm glad that there is more lore in Phase 5 of Gorillaz than there was in the last phase. The music is meant to be the main part, but I've always been fascinated with the characters. Hopefully more interesting animated music videos will be coming out soon to satisfy me.

Also, I created a forum because I was bored. Come and check it out here.


Goodbye for now!

Hello.

I was surfing the web today and I found this weird Gorillaz self-insert fan fiction that was kinda bad, but it was really addicting. It was written years ago, so the person who wrote it must be quite a bit older now. Then I found more outdated social media accounts for this person, and I spent a long time reading them.

Somebody in the future is probably going to discover all of my awful online content and cringe at it in the same way I cringed at this person I found today. I would link to the website where I found this person's work, but I don't really want anybody to tell me off for criticising the work of an innocent teenager.

Some of the stuff that I found was awful. The self insert character has literally all of the edgy tropes that OCs do, and even though she was fifteen, she still gets to date a guy in the story who's in his twenties. Then she gets pregnant from him. She's also a vampire who ran away from her parents who she thinks to have died in 9/11. There was also art work she made to go along with her stories.

Well, I guess everybody makes some cringeworthy stuff when they are a teenager. This blog is an example of that. I also wrote some pretty edgy shit on Wattpad that I immediately regretted once. Luckily it's all gone now. Another example of something cringe-inducing I wrote is probably that Mystic Messenger post I wrote on this blog a while ago. Scroll down further to read it.

I like to preserve things that I've made, but I'm sure I will be too embarrassed to look at most of my content in the future.

Anyway, that's all I have to write for now. Goodbye.

Windows, Being Annoying, AGAIN.

Today I got the self titled Gorillaz album in the post. It comes with an EXE file that allows you to "Access the nether regions of Gorillaz.com)".

After waiting for iTunes to rip the songs onto my PC,  I open the file. Sounds play,  and text pops up on the screen, saying "You now have the key to Murdoc's Winnebago. " I was excited.

Then immediately after the text shows up,  the screen flashes, and then I realise that my computer is restarting so it can update.  Stupid Windows 10. It seems like it needs an update every time I use my PC.  Now I have to wait forever for it to install everything,  and then I have to use a painfully slow computer afterwards. Windows is always slow after an update.

I wish I could disable those stupid updates. I did know that a restart was coming,  but I accidentally closed the warning message too quickly,  then forgot about it.

At least I have a billion other things to entertain myself with.

Another Useless Post

I'm super happy because yesterday when I went shopping I found a CD of Demon Days, an album I had been wanting for ages, for $8! I didn't notice it at first, because it wasn't in the area of the shop where the Gorillaz albums usually were. Normally that shop just has Humanz and I'm really disappointed whenever I go there because I already have that album. When I passed a stand full of more CDs, I immediately saw Demon Days and picked it up, not caring about the price.

Normally I am quite cheap and don't like spending money, but I really wanted this and it wasn't that expensive. I think it might actually be cheaper on iTunes, but I prefer physical CDs, because they have nice art books inside. I don't actually have a CD player anymore, so the CD is just going on to my computer and then onto my iPod. I'll probably end up listening to this album so much that it gets old for me, but I've already listened to this album many times on Spotify and Groove Music, so I don't think it'll get old.

The art book in this album is wonderful. It includes covers for all of the songs on the album. Every single song on Demon Days is amazing,  but I would have to say that my favourites are Kids With Guns, Dirty Harry, November Has Come, Feel Good Inc, DARE and Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head. According to Spotify, Dirty Harry is my most listened to song, but that's probably because it used to come up on shuffle often.

I just wanted to write about this because I can and because there is nothing else to write about. I guess I'll see you all in the next post. Goodbye!

It's Halloween...

Today is Halloween, and the birthday of about a billion fictional characters... It seems that so many of them were born on this day.

One special birthday today is Noodle's. You know, the girl whose image I have on this blog's sidebar? Happy birthday, Noodle. I know you're not real, but I don't care.

She was so small and cute back in Phase One. Now she's all grown up. I really do love her design. Noodle is extremely pretty.

I'm not dressing up or anything. I just plan to eat sweets. We have so many to give out to all of the little children, there is bound to be some left. At least after this it'll soon be Christmas! Yay!

To all of you out there reading this, Happy Halloween!
