oh my goddddddd 😭😭😭 background info so you can understand the full scope of why this is ripping my heart to shreds
>Ace's Gorillaz performances are said to be inspired by Gorillaz Bassist Seye Adelekan
>Seye thinks Ace is great, he's said so in a few instagram stories and he even made a post one time where he took a lighter with Ace on it to the bar and called it "brother Ace"
>Ace is currently in a bunker. we do not know if he is with his gang. he has been there for at least three years now if Murdoc is to be trusted
>Ace has sent the band at least one Christmas letter while in the bunker
NOW THAT THAT CONTEXT IS OUT OF THE WAY
DO YOU *SEE* WHY IM CRYING MY EYES OUT THAT SEYE WROTE A SONG ABOUT BEING ALONE ON CHRISTMAS
like I know they're not connected but GOD it still hurts
Hello everybody! Here it is, as promised, some moments of the Gorillaz's gig I went to ! And a bonus of me and the king. Hope you'll like it ! Sorry if you hear my screaming but I was having so much fun !
Next chapter of pictures of you next Saturday at midnight!
Verified Damon-kissers by my count: Graham Coxon (x 100), Alex James, Dave Rowntree, Jamie Hewlett, Irvine Welsh, Paul Simonon, Mick Jones, Simon Gilbert, Seye Adelekan, Jeff Wootton, Tony Allen, Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher (alright, alright, cheek at least!)... undoubtedly many more. Don't think we ever caught him on film with Jarvis, but when once asked if he would kick Damon out of bed, Jarvis replied "I already have." And as discussed I don't know how he could shack up with Malkmus in his girlfriend's house and just quietly sit through the "we liked your vibe" energy with no one smooching.
Damon's love and support of black music and artists sets the standard for other white artists. He uses his privilege and platform to uplift marginalized voices without once taking credit from those artists. 2/3rds of Gorillaz collaborators are POC. In 1993 Damon called mainstream rock racist. Saying that it ignore the black creators of it in favor of white artists. Called it xenophobic and anti black. He refused to play LiveAid because of a lack of black artists. Attention white musicians with huge platforms, this is how you be anti racist. Privilege used for good.
