I was actually just comparing Clint Eastwood and Feelgood, Inc, not their respective albums, as I hadn’t heard anything on Demon Days save Feelgood, yet, at the time…having gone ahead and listened since… I prefer Demon Days, but, as you say…is all a matter of taste.

And Scott…you shouldn’t be looking at Noodle like that…she’s a little kid, and looks it. \>_\> (She’s also my favourite of the Gorillaz characters, but not like **that**. \>_\>)

If Fat Albert and the Junkyard Gang had cut an alblum or had more air-time they would be Kings, but the Chipmunks beat them, with or without balls

**Tengu** , I have seen 0\_o, \>\_\> What doe it mean? Also, you might notice that I also briefly consider all cast members of The Banna Splits in terms of physical attractiveness in the same post. Make of that what you will. 😃

As I said a few posts ago, Albert was a track on an album first,([1964!) and a show second. He has cut a record, one year after the show started, but it was a comedy album, compiling earlier skits and new ones, and not actually musical numbers.

It’s one half of \>_\> \<_\<, which is looking around shiftily.
