Damon Albarn, now in holographic form!

Last post for the night, I promise.

Yewknee pointed out this link to where you can download the video of the Gorillaz performing live at the European MTV Video Awards. If you didn't know, the Gorillaz are a cartoon band and don't exist in real life (don't tell Damon Albarn). So, Jamie Hewlett and his team got together with Industrial Light & Magic and whipped up some kickass digital animations to perform at the show. It's pretty damn cool, if you ask me. And according to this article about how the performance was created, the technology is only going to get better, leading up to the insanely-hyped Gorillaz World Tour in 2007.

Could it be? 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel coming to North Carolina? Let's hope so.

ALSO: See the new video for the song "DARE."
