Today was another day of musical education for me. Not listening to very much Gorillaz music on my own and really only being familiar with some of the stuff I’ve heard on the radio, I didn’t realize that Del Tha Funkeé Homosapien was involved with their first album until I was looking up the info for one of today’s picks. Going back and listening to the song “Clint Eastwood,” I kind of kick myself for not recognizing his voice on the track.
