Look Out To The West Now, See Where The Devil Lies

I've rarely if ever dedicated a post to a single song twice, but I've just seen Gorillaz and Sparks' performance of The Happy Dictator on Jimmy Kimmel Live last Friday and it had to be done.

You can find my original post from 12th September 2025 here.

Six months on and the world has gone even more crazy, if possible. Well, when I say 'world'...

Russell Mael is on fine form and whilst I won't be catching any of the Gorillaz live shows, I will be seeing Sparks live in concert in June. A ray of hope, in more ways than one.

Decayed III: 2005

Side 2 of Volume 3 of my 'maginary mixtape meander through the first decade of the 21st century.

2005 is especially memorable because Mrs. K and I took a month off work to explore Japan... well, Honshu, the largest of it's four islands, at least. Travelling by train, we got a snapshot (literally and metaphorically) of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and a lot of places there and back.

There were lots of temples, enormous statues, a samba festival (!), the madness of the Shibuya Crossing at night, the beauty of Mount Fuji, the heartbreaking legacy of the atomic bomb, men pissing in the gutters on their way home from a sake bar, and the then-unusual sight of people wearing face masks when out and about. It was the experience of a lifetime.

Naturally, I came home with a clutch of Japanese CDs, none of which make an appearance here. Instead, I've mined the UK singles charts of 2005 for a dozen top tunes that floated my boat, and still do twenty years later.

Two Number Ones this time, one from the Queen Of Pop, Madonna, which shouldn't come as a great surprise as Hung Up was her 11th UK #1, albeit her first in five years. Gorillaz on the other hand scored their first - and to date only - UK #1 with Dare, bringing Shaun Ryder along for the ride.

Today's selection opens with Mylo, whose brilliant song Destroy Rock & Roll is an example of some of the challenges I encountered when creating these compilations. The track was originally doing the rounds in 2003, and popped up in my longlist for that year. However, Destroy Rock & Roll the album came out in 2004, whilst the title track entered the singles chart in early 2005. 

I made quite a few errors when I created the original 1980s Decade cassettes back in 1990, without the internet to hand and relying on record sleeve info to give me a rough idea of release dates. This time around, I checked all the chart positions, which involved some last minute swaps in the final year-by-year sequencing. I'm clearly quite adept at making an 'easy' job more complicated!

Destroy Rock & Roll is built on a extensively edited sample of the Church Universal and Triumphant's Invocation For Judgement Against And Destruction Of Rock Music. A long list of artists and bands are read out as deserving "the judgement of the sacred fire in this hour before the throne of almighty God" including Michael Jackson (twice), Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, Paul McCartney, Patti Smith, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner and Madonna.

Unfortunately, thanks to a particularly incompetent preacher who was clearly unfamiliar with most of the names on the list, hapless innocents David Booey, Cyndi Looper and Jack Cougar Mellencamp suffered eternal damnation whilst their more famous nearly namesakes got away scot free.

Daft Punk weren't around then, but if they were, they'd no doubt be on the list for the perverted act of going around pretending to be robots. Thankfully, in 2005 James Murphy was hosting the most improbably gig ever, by cramming them into his humble abode. After a guest appearance here in 2002, at the controls for a single by Radio 4, in 2005 he makes a return with his own band, LCD Soundsystem. Not the last we'll be seeing of them in this series, either.

Another act who have only previously appeared on production duty is Coldcut, way back in 1990 on Telephone Thing by The Fall. in 2006, they released the brilliant album Sound Mirrors, preceded by a couple of singles, including Everything Is Under Control, featuring Jon Spencer (sans Blues Explosion) and rapper Mike Ladd.

Ben Watt also made a comeback of sorts, though as a solo artist rather than with then-partner Tracey Thorn (they married in 2009) as Everything But The Girl. Instead, the unexpectedly titled Pop A Cap In Yo' Ass has a star turn by Estelle, a spoken word tale laid over a bouncing dancefloor beat and surely a contender for the Some Songs Make Great Short Stories series at The Vinyl Villain.

Keeping the alternative/rock scene alive in 2005 were The Mooney Suzuki, The Bees and The Coral, whilst Cagedbaby and Hot Chip remixing Architecture In Helsinki were pushing my electronica buttons, even if the record buying public were less convinced.

Client was a super duo of sorts, teaming Sarah Blackwood (Dubstar) with Kate Holmes (Frazier Chorus, Technique), and signed to the Toast Hawaii label owned by Andrew Fletcher (Depeche Mode). Andy co-produced the single Pornography, Client's only Top 30 single, undoubtedly helped by a guest vocal from Carl Barât (The Libertines).

Things were about to change for the UK charts though, as 2006 would see a significant shift in the scope of eligibility, reflecting the change in formats and listening habits in the digital age. But was the music any good in 2006?

Like this? Then why not dip back another couple of decades with my selections from 1985 and 1995?

Upon A Mouse #9: A Stomach Full Of All Bran

For the last of this week's look at my votes for The 20 Greatest Eponymous Albums Of All Time, as prompted and published by No Badger Required last month, I'm skipping #10 and focusing on #9 and #8, respectively occupied by Blur and Gorillaz.

Yep, it's a Damon Albarn double bill.

If this has immediately got your hackles rising, then I can only offer by way of consolation that you will not be seeing Mali Music (2002), The Good, The Bad & The Queen (2007) or Rocket Juice & The Moon (2012) in next week's final three posts, as none of these Albarn-fuelled projects made it to the NBR longlist, let alone shortlist. 

So, let's start with Blur, the self-titled fifth album by Blur from 1997.

I didn’t mind Blur, but I was just never really into them. And I only really rooted for them during the fabricated Blur vs. Oasis face off because I found the Gallagher Brothers and their band tedious. Truth be told, I couldn't really give a shit either way.

In February 1997, I didn't own any Blur albums and I was not inclined to buy their latest release. I ended up hearing it a lot because my friends Vicky and Simon played Blur by Blur pretty much every time I visited them for a couple of months in early 1997. 

That in itself was weird as, with the exception of Pulp who they both loved, their music tastes veered very much towards either the Spice Girls and Kylie, or the kind of kitsch deep cuts and 60s and 70s TV theme tunes to be found at the World Of Cheese club night in Bristol that we frequented.

But there was something about this album that clearly appealed to them both, and then me. And not just for Song 2, which is still bloody brilliant, nearly thirty years later. 

I've mentioned previously that, with a few exceptions, the Britpop movement did little for me and although Blur predated the label, previous albums Parklife and The Great Escape were cited as defining records.

The eponymous Blur was something of a reaction against this, angry and introspective with sharper edges yet losing none of the singalong melodies that the band were renowned for. Each of the four singles displayed a different facet of the band, and there was more to be found in album tracks, such as Death Of A Party and Movin' On. 

Although I didn't bite straight away, Blur's fifth ended up being the first album of theirs that I acquired. Given how fragmented the band reportedly were at the time of writing and recording Blur, it has stood the test of time as a surprisingly cohesive record.

 

 

Gorillaz beat Blur by a point in my scores because frankly it’s the best thing that Damon Albarn’s done. Ironically, Albarn has been quoted as saying that On Your Own, the third single from Blur's eponymous fifth album, is "one of the first ever Gorillaz tunes".

Collaborating with Jamie Hewlett and Dan The Automator and (possibly literally) a cast of thousands and hiding behind simian-based cartoon alter egos may have looked good on paper. In reality, their 2001 debut album was even better than that. Geniuz, even (sorry!)

Subconsciously, what I like about Gorillaz the band and the album is that although Damon Albarn is clearly the creative driving force, he's also in the background, regardless of whether it's a true democracy in reality. Yes, you hear his voice pop up throughout, but on singles like Clint Eastwood and 19/2000, the stars of the show are Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Miho Hatori.

And, if you're a fan of Jamie Hewlett's art, as I was, then the visual aspect of Gorillaz, which shaped not only the music releases and videos, but also the translation to live performances and the interactive elements of the website were unlike anything else out there.

My love of Gorillaz' debut extends to it's remix companion, Laika Come Home, released later the same year. In characteristically contrary fashion, I ended up buying this one before the album that birthed it. I'd never heard of Spacemonkeyz before (or since), but the promise of Gorillaz songs given a dub and reggae rinse was irresistible.

 

 

At the top of the page, the unrelated telly swipe is a scene from the Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, the 1954 film adaptation of Daniel Defoe's 18th century novel, directed by Luis Buñuel. 

The titular character is played by Dan O'Herlihy, seen here having just taken a big glug from a barrel of grog, discovered in the bowels of the shipwrecked vessel that marooned him in the first place.

Decayed I: 2001

Side 2 of an imaginary compilation cassette, travelling through the 2000s.

Troubling the upper reaches of the UK's best-selling singles of 2001 were Shaggy, Atomic Kitten and S Club 7. Not to forget yesterday's reference to Westshite, who must have had a sideline commission on bar stools, the amount of time they spent with their arses glued to them whilst inflicting another ballad or cover version (or both) on us.

Yet, there was hope. Kylie Minogue was experiencing a purple patch of perfect pop songs, arguably none more so than Can't Get You Out Of My Head. Bucking the trend of one-week-only #1s, Ms. Minogue spent four weeks at the top, seven in the Top 10 and the best part of six months in the Top 75. 

Can't Get You Out Of My Head was apparently offered first to S Club 7 (well, their manager) then Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who both turned it down. I bet they've been kicking themselves ever since.

Basement Jaxx were also wanting to know Where's Your Head At, cracking the UK Top 10 in December. Featuring Damien Peachey on vocals, the song is built on the riff from Gary Numan's 1979 song M.E. and was accompanied by a memorable video.

Speaking of samples, there's a serendipitous connection between today's playlist and the original Decade mixtape series. In October 2001, Felix Da Housecat charted with the single Harlot, sampling the synth percussion of The Sound Of The Crowd by The Human League. That very song featured in my 1981 selection, having reached #12 in May of that year. It's almost like I planned it...!

Missy Elliott had previously scored a UK #1 in 1998, but it was a guest on ex-Spice Girl Melanie B's single I Want You Back. Get UR Freak On got to #4 in April 2001 and would prove to be Missy's highest charting single in the UK as a solo artist. It's a magnificent record, and Timbaland's production and the tabla frenzy underpinning the song cannot be underestimated. Yet, it wouldn't be half as good without Missy herself: her delivery is spot on and a breath of fresh air compared to many of her male contemporaries.

This was the year that we were introduced to The Strokes. I wasn't as blown away by them as the gushing music press appeared to be, though I found myself morbidly fascinated by Last Nite, both the video and the song. Both were unashamedly retro, yet there was something compelleing about their sound and look, even to an old cynic like me.

2001 also saw the first collaboration between Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams, a partnership that would really pay off a decade and a half later. Here, The Neptunes (Pharrell and Chad Hugo) get their hands on Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and take it in a completely new direction.

The Charlatans, Depeche Mode, Faithless and Damon Albarn all came back with strong songs, reasserting their relevance in the 21st century. Albarn especially so, as in a radical departure from Blur, he co-created 'virtual' band Gorillaz to great critical and commercial acclaim. 

Trevor Jackson is the brains behind Playgroup, the only non-charting single in today's picks. Never heard of him? Break 4 Love by Raze or House Of Lovers by The Rapture? Two of the many record sleeves Trevor designed. The Underdog remixes of Massive Attack, House Of Pain, U2 or Everything But The Girl? That's Trevor. Late 1990s releases by Fridge and Four Tet (Kieran Hebden) on the Output label? Trevor ran it.

Playgroup's self-titled debut album is a thing of wonder and I will write about it at some point, here or elsewhere. Suffice to say that both it and the various singles should have been smash hits. Front 2 Back is featured here, with a strong lead from KC Flightt and a wonderful guest spot from Edwyn Collins on guitar, who nails it.

Robert Miles had a #2 hit with Children in January 1996. Nina Miranda, fronting Smoke City, got to #4 with Underwater Love in April 1997.  On paper, a collaboration between the two had 'hit' written all over it, surely? Sadly not. 

Paths is a great song, but managed just one week at #74 in July 2001. The Future Sound Of London aka Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain were no strangers to the UK charts themselves in the 1990s and they provide a stunning remix here. There is a full-length 7+ minute version on the 12" single, though everything you need is captured here in two hundred and twenty eight wonderful seconds.

Although labelled as a remix by The Future Sound Of London, Brian and Garry were revisiting another of their aliases, and this remix signposted their new direction. Stay tuned, as you'll find out what they were up to next week.

For your further listening pleasure, you may wish to head back to 1981 and 1991.

Empty And Abstracted And Full Of Rage...We Think Too Much And Feel Too Little

Gorillaz? Sparks? Together on one song? How has this not happened before?!

And, unsurprisingly, The Happy Dictator is a brilliant collaboration and an exciting teaser for ninth (ninth!) album The Mountain, coming in March 2026.

The song title and the thumbnail image of Murdoc for the 'official visualiser' are of course a reference to Charlie Chaplin's 1940 film - and magnum opus - The Great Dictator.

Whatever your opinion of Damon Albarn, it's difficult to deny that Gorillaz, created with Jamie Hewlett in 1998, has been a game changer in the music world, and still has the power to surprise over a quarter of a century later.

I'm looking forward to The Mountain as much as I did their self-titled debut back in 2001.

I am the one to give you life again 

I am the one to save your soul, AMEN!

As the shadows they are forming come and join me centre stage

Oh what a happy land we live in

If you are empty and abstracted and your broken heart is full of rage

Oh what a happy land, oh yeah

In a world of fiction I am a velvet glove 

Oh what a happy land we live in

I am your soul, your resurrection, I am the love

Oh what a happy land, oh yeah

So look out to the west now, see where the devil lies

Oh what a happy land we live in

It’s pharmakon is with you and your empire it is paralysed 

Oh what a happy land, oh yeah

I’ll propagate eternity and seal it with my kiss

Oh what a happy land we live in

So look into the coffin and let me grant your wish

Oh what a happy land, oh yeah

 

No more bad news 

So you can sleep well at night 

And the palace of your mind will be bright

Everything is slowing down yet everything is faster

Oh what a happy land we live in

While everyone is consuming I’ll save you from yourself

Oh what a happy land, oh yeah

 

Upon this world of fiction my love I will bestow

Oh what a happy land we live in

And as we march into the future happiness will grow

No more bad news 

So you can sleep well at night

And the palace of your mind will be bright

Everything is slowing down yet faster 

Consuming us I’ll save you from yourself

My love bestowed upon this world of fiction

March to the future happiness grows

Are you not better off than ever 

Are you not better off right now

When have you felt this way I ask you

When have you felt better off than right now

I am the one to give you life again

I am the one to save your soul, AMEN!

No more bad news………

(Mountains and rainbows , palaces of love)

So you can sleep well at night and palace of your mind will be bright

So you can sleep well at night and palace of your mind will be bright

Overload

Happy birthday to Jamie Hewlett, born 3rd April 1968.

 

As an 80s teen, my first exposure to Jamie's work was with Tank Girl, co-created with Alan Martin and debuted in Deadline magazine in 1988. It was a fantastically anarchic and visually stunning comic strip and if that had been the only work that Jamie was known for, that would be plenty good enough.

 

There was an inevitable move into music via record sleeve artwork and my memories of Senseless Things in particular inextricably link the visuals with the music. 

 

And then Jamie teamed up with Damon Albarn for Gorillaz. 'Nuff said.

 

Stylo is one of my favourite songs and videos of theirs.

I've only just discovered that there was another version of the video, with commentary by Gorillaz bass player Murdoc (aka Phil Cornwell).

And here's Stylo performed on Later...With Jools Holland in 2010. I can't spot Jamie, though he may well be sat at one of the tables, stage left, waiting for Jool's inevitably inane small talk between songs. But just contemplate for a second that gathering on stage: Damon Albarn, Mos Def, Bobby Womack, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. Phenomenal.

None of that may have happened had Jamie not interviewed Blur for Deadline magazine back in 1990. Jamie is quoted as thinking at the time that Albarn was a bit of a wanker but they went on to share a flat in 1997 and shortly after, the seeds for Gorillaz were planted and history was made. Wow.

 

Have a good one, Jamie!

On The Soul...De La, That Is

A tribute to David Jude Jolicoeur aka Plug 2 aka Trugoy The Dove aka one third of hip hop legends De La Soul, 21st September 1968 to 12th February 2023.

Another sad loss, all the more tragic that Trugoy was 54 years old, barely any time in the scheme of things. But what he achieved in his life cannot be underestimated. 

 

I can't pretend that I was so on it as a teenager that I immediately switched on to hip hop and rap music and got 3 Feet High And Rising as soon as it hit the record shops in 1989. But I really liked De La Soul. Over three decades later, their impact on music as a whole - not just genres - is perhaps only just beginning to be fully appreciated. After many years of legal entanglements, the release of De La Soul's early albums on streaming services next month will bring their music to a new generation.

I'm definitely not qualified to write about De La Soul's influence or Trugoy The Dove's contribution to establishing a new narrative and form of expression, but I can share a selection of songs that I love. In my usual cobbled-together-at-the-last minute style, this 10-track selection mostly draws from the earlier singles, throwing in a few songs from a budget De La Soul compilation I picked up a while ago. 

 

I also had to include their contribution to the Judgement Night film soundtrack, itself made up of collaborations between rap and hip hop artists and guitar bands, be it indie, thrash or grunge. Teenage Fanclub were the unlikely partners with De La Soul, but somehow it works. 

Gorillaz took it to it's logical next step in the 21st Century. Where else would you see De La Soul performing on stage with Damon Albarn, Gruff Rhys, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon?

Rap in power, Dave, Plug 2, Trugoy, all of you.

The Sun Has Come Again To Hold You

Today's selection shines a spotlight on guest vocalists. All of the nine tracks have electronic leanings, veering from club to dub along the course of under an hour.

There will be some familiar names - Boy George, Texas, Elizabeth Fraser, Guy Garvey - and some less so, but they all add something unique to the song, even when put through the remix rinse.

 

Most of the artists will also be well known, with a couple of surprises tucked away. Cabana was a one-off collaboration between superstar DJ Sasha aka Alexander Coe and long-term producer Tom Frederikse. The former went on to global domination whilst the latter swapped music for law in 1999, specialising in Digital Media.

 

Battle Box was also a one-off project, this time for 3D aka Robert Del Naja, who pops up again with Massive Attack later in the selection.

 

The most unexpected pairing is perhaps Paul Weller and Boy George on One Tear in 2017. I haven't fact checked this at all, but was this their first time in the studio together since Band Aid in 1984? Whatever, it was worth the wait...!
