Dec. 22nd, 2010 05:29 pmWe've got a half confirmation about Gorillaz and its current status, but it's pretty much the way many of us predicted it would. It's not really confirmed and everything could be read in multiple ways: 'it is ending'; 'it will have a break'; 'we just don't know'. It's coming today rather than a few days ago because people had to do some confirmation work. (Again, why Wikipedia peeves me off, but that's not the point.)
The heart of Gorillaz and what it stands for will never die, even if there is never anything produced again. I don't mind as a band if there's never any new songs. I mind as a collective and an artistic experiment. There's no possible way anyone else's live show will be like their current lives, just as Phase I lives were nothing like Phase II lives and Phase III lives are nothing like Phase I As the same, Gorillaz lives don't really have any particular, coherent relationship with the CD recordings.
The idea and heart of it isn't going to die, even if nothing is made again. Some might say it can't really die then, even if the name is never put on anything else. This is a lot more than a band performing. I honestly don't think we'll ever get more of a confirmation than this. I feel as that if is particularly okay, though I did not feel that way when we still did not know about a Phase III. I am really not sure what's different now.
The only way Gorillaz will die is if they say it's dead. Putting it the way it is now never closes the doors, and there are a million reasons why they shouldn't be closed. Of course, it's frustrating not to really know, but I'll take that frustration over finality any day. I'm sure that's part of why it's like this. When you can end something you've put twelve years of work into with just a few words, would you ever do it, either?

Dec. 22nd, 2010 06:33 pmDecember 24 is the 10 year anniversary of my Dad having his strokes. December 28 will be a decade having passed without him.
Right now, the only thing I can commit to between now and January 1 are the things I need to do for JBBS. I'm going to try to be online. I'm going to do my best to make holiday wishes and to write the presents I have for people. But please give me (and Patrick) some leeway until January. I will do all the Christmas things in January if I haven't by then. I apologize in advance.
It's enough to deal with on its own, but hitting a decade adds different levels to it altogether, so... yeah.
