Hallelujah Monkeyz: A Gorillaz Fancast

To kick off a brand new season of the show, Dillon and Trevor say "better late than never" and exchange Christmas gifts! Then, in an exciting new segment, we take our first dip inside the Hallelujah Monkeyz Mailbag! After that it's back to 1991 to meet Britain's newest hitmakers Seymour, their precocious five-year-old frontman Damon Albarn, and their debut album "Leisure". With a bit of luck, the boys will do their best to bring a very blurry album into focus!

After a month away, Dillon and Trevor return to finish off season five of Hallelujah Monkeyz with a review of Damon Albarn’s solo record, Everyday Robots. Sure, there may only be one gorilla’s name on the cover, but there are a whole lot more monkeying around behind the scenes!

Having completed their journey to the west, Dillon and Trevor muster up what courage they have left to sit down with The Bravest Man in the Universe. Face your fears and join us this week for a discussion on the life and times of Bobby Womack, including his final solo album, which was co-written and produced by none other than Gorillaz patriarch Damon Albarn himself!

Dillon and Trevor embark on a Journey to the West and discuss Monkey, a Mandarin opera from 2007 featuring music by Damon Albarn and art design by Jamie Hewlett. With only the stars to guide them, it’s an odyssey unlike anything the show has seen before!

As Hallelujah Monkeyz approaches the end of its December hiatus, Trevor pops in with a few quick updates and a special holiday gift: the first episode of “One-Hit Wonders of the World” — an upcoming podcast starring friend-of-the-program and honorary Hallelujah Monkey Maxton Stenstrom.

In lieu of a massive Thanksgiving turkey of an episode, Dillon and Trevor are back this week with a measly tablespoon of cranberry sauce. But like the piilgrims setting forth with promise of an undiscovered world, they announce an exciting new Patreon exclusive! You can be like the Native Americans who generously shared their corn with the settlers by going to patreon.com/hallelujahmonkeyz and supporting the show. We know what we're thankful for: you, the listener.

Cor blimey! After taking a spin through two high-concept hip hop records by notable Gorillaz collaborators, what’s next for Hallelujah Monkeyz? Why, it’s only the Good, the Bad, & the Queen, innit! If you ain’t ‘eard of it, it’s a very, very English record by that bloke from Blur, along with a few other famous faces that have played important roles in the history of Gorillaz both before and since. There are dark clouds in the sky and the tea kettle’s on... just another day in the Kingdom of Doom.

hi it's me dillon i stayed up late editing this fast and i forgot to have trevor send me the episode description and i am too tired to write a good one, but hey there are 14 new gorillaz songs and we talked about ALLLLL of them episode features the new single "Belonging" by Infinitefreefall so go Google all dat

Just in time for Halloween, Dillon and Trevor turn on Adult Swim and sit down with The Mouse and the Mask, a one-off hip hop record from 2005 starring phase 2 Gorillaz collaborators Danger Mouse and MF DOOM. This episode may not seem too spooky at first listen, but if you play it backwards I’m pretty sure you can hear what sounds like an undead spirit rattling its chains and calling out for Phi Life Cypher to come be on the show.

In the first episode of a special family-oriented season of Hallelujah Monkeyz, Dillon and Trevor take a quantum leap to the distant future and check out Deltron 3030, 2001’s epic sci-fi hip-hopera starring Gorillaz collaborators Dan the Automator and Del the Funkee Homosapien. From rap battles to robots, it’s our most instupituous episode ever!

Something is gonna happen tonight! And by “tonight” I mean Thursday October 5th, which is when Dillon and Trevor had the great fortune of seeing Gorillaz live at the Forum in Los Angeles, California. Will all of their Gorillaz live dreams come true? Or will they end up busted and blue? Most importantly... who’s Arthur?

There’s plenty of news to get excited about this week, as Damon Albarn premiers a new Gorillaz song and grows ever closer to his dream of seeing his beloved musical children brought to life via holograms. After that, Dillon and Trevor hop into the studio with various incarnations of the Gorillaz live band to check out the Demon Detour — a series of live tracks recorded to promote Demon Days in 2005 — as well as the group’s live iTunes session from 2010. Not all the performances are great, but hey, even the duds make for some “lively” discussion!

This week, Dillon and Trevor take in a night at the opera, heading to Manchester circa 2005 to see Gorillaz perform Demon Days in its entirety. Well, they’re actually just reviewing another DVD, but hey, at least this way you don’t need to use those dumb little binocular things. What’re those called, anyways?

In what will surely go down in podcasting history as the worst episode of Hallelujah Monkeyz ever, Dillon and Trevor grit their teeth and sit through every excruciating minute of the nine phase two remixes included on the special edition of D-Sides. You're gonna need a lot more than a panda to hug if you want to get through this episode.

After trying to figure out the most passive aggressive way to gaslight the firstborn son of Jamie Hewlett into appearing on the show, Dillon and Trevor take a better look at two former Gorillaz producers by checking out a pair of promotional mixtapes they created while working with the band: “Gorillazish Mix” — a phase one compilation tracing the musical influences of Dan “the Automator” Nakamura — and “Roadkill”, a phase two showcase of the group’s new collaborators directed by Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton. It’s a level of content-scrounging unlike any the show has seen before!
