Gorillaz Bassist Murdoc Previews 'Plastic Beach' During Pirate Broadcast

gorillazEarlier today, AOL Radio's Top Alternative station was hacked into by Murdoc Niccals, the misanthropic, booze-swilling and entirely fictional bassist for Gorillaz. For nearly 40 minutes, Murdoc spun some of his favorite punk and pop tunes and even gave listeners a preview of various tracks from the new Gorillaz LP, 'Plastic Beach.' Though he remained coy about song titles and guest appearances, we're pretty confident about hearing Swedish electronic act Little Dragon in one of the clips.

Check out the entire broadcast, including Murdoc's DJ picks and the 'Plastic Beach' previews, after the jump.

Wow. Ha, I love this guy. Real or not, he's hilarious, and he and his 'band' write the most amazing songs!

OMG I've been so lost! I drifted off after the destruction of Kong Studios, and just got back into the Gorillaz swing about a week ago. I gotta catch up tone before I can follow the day by day events!
I was so lonely for like a year, just me and my Rise of the Ogre. Read and reread.
So psyched everyone's back!
