Nah, it's mostly because Damon and Jamie have had a bit of a falling out
They sort of put their friendship on hold at the end of 2010 and Damon's been pursuing a number of other things, namely the Dr Dee opera, rekindling Blur for another album (reportedly, but it seems to waver between 'yes we're doing it' and 'no we're not') plus Jamie's working on more things other than Gorillaz art. Also Zombie Flesh Eaters who did the G character animations went belly-up last year and Damon and Jamie changed Management.
Mostly though, it's because EMI didn't make as much money from 'Plastic Beach' as they'd hoped, but since they did fuckall marketing for it, I'm not surprised, even though it's a brilliant album. EMI canned the 'Rhinestone Eyes' animated video which would essentially have been the next chapter in the whole story, and it just never got made, and made 'Doncamatic' instead, which was great for Daley, but not for Gorillaz.
Gorillaz were essentially 'on hiatus' when the Converse deal was struck and they did the 'Do Ya Thing' release with Andre 3000 and James whathisface, but at the moment, until Damon and Jamie kiss and make up and want to work together again, it'll be a while before we see anything new from Gorillaz. The Converse gig wasn't worth much when you consider Damon was said to be worth $40million just this week, he's not short of a quid. G fans are all hanging out for the 'P Sides' of Plastic Beach, but no sign of such a thing at the moment.

I think that was the intent,
but animation is horrendously time consuming and exxy, hence them using CGI for more of the PB stuff, the dressing room vids, and the Converse thing, because once they've got the base forms programmed, everything else is just easy to add really. I like the traditional animation, but when time and money is a constraint, I'll take anything, these characters crack me up, although I couldn't care less for Noodle and Russel to be honest.

A biro normally refers to the clear plastic (or sometimes orangey yellow) ones with a cap.
But since they all write the same I guess any ballpoint would do for this compo.

Boris or Ken?
I quite like our bumbling current mayor on comic value, but to be quite frank I simply can't find any ounce within me to ever justify voting for a Tory; the concept simply seems dark and repugnant. But Ken, I actually have grown to really dislike him. He seems wrapped by ego and some god given right to be London's mayor. Though I do approve of his pledge to lower public transport costs, which are obscene these days.

But we did have a chat in the pub about Boris on Friday, and we all reached the conclusion that people vote for him because of how bumbling and incompetent he is, because the public figure they're going to get fucked whoever they vote for, so it might as well be someone funny.

That seems like a fairly reasonable assessment of what's up. Poor old Brian Paddock seems quite likeable but his party well and truly lost the plot getting into bed with the Tories.

the green party candidate, the only other candidate with a hope, is a hippy with long facial hair, a track record of vegan activism and lead singer of a band called something like 'TreeBeard', and the 'socialist and trade union alliance leaflet reads like a mix of citizen smith and school newspaper.
it's all so disappointing, its made me seriously think about standing as an independent looking represent local micro issues.
