Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
Since the members of Gorillaz are cartoon characters, I figured that I would get a few of my middle-age cartoon buddies to help me review the tracks on their new album, Plastic Beach.

Quentin Beck – Orchestral Intro
"This stuff is as sweet as communicating by Numbers Stations."

Daphne Blake – Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach
"We could barely see out of the windows of the Scooby van from the thick smoke provided by one canine member of the medical profession."

Flattop – White Flag
"This punches as hard as Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots!"

Jughead – Rhinestone Eyes
"Next time the girls come over I’ll make sure to have this music on in the background, tonight might be the night."

Wolverine – Stylo
"I use my claws as a stylus for a real supersonic sound."

Fred Flintstone – Superfast Jellyfish
"Wilma would never do the dirty with me to music like this."

Silver Surfer – Empire Ants
"I would travel galaxies away to listen to music like this, that and to pick up some of those nachos from the Orion Belt."

Gigantor – Glitter Freeze
"I mean, I’ve always wanted a friend that wanted me for what I am and not just for what I can do."

Mr. Magoo – Some Kind Of Nature
"Back when I hung out with Lou Reed, I never really saw him smile."

Dick Tracey – On Melancholy Hill
"God damn it I lost Pruneface again; I was distracted by a P&O ad on my watch."

The Flash – Broken
"Thanks to the Thorazine I can now slow down long enough to enjoy music this slow and sunny."

Captain America – Sweepstakes
"Why can’t any American bands play like this."

Plastic Man – Plastic Beach
"After my porn career wound down I retired to Florida and started listening to music by musicians who wore white shoes."

Nightcrawler – To Binge
"No wall or glass will prevent me from acquiring my midnight Pringles fix."

Magneto – Cloud Of Unknowing
"I’m going to use all the metal in the room to make bigger subwoofers."

Batman – Pirate Jet
"When I’m all-alone in the Batcave and nobody is watching, I like to shake my tail feathers to music like this."

Thanks guys and girl, I couldn’t have done it without you.
