Christmas Questions
NME, October 2001
Murdoc: It’s an old record but as the label say’s it is the “Very best of.” It’s the best of ABC, it’s the very personification of the look of love. I defy you or Robbie Williams to write, “When Smokey Sings.” Picketty Witch, Pentangle and Wolfs Bane all had outstanding re releases no doubt due to outstanding debts. Sophie Ellis Bexter, her album is incredible, absolutely un-fucking-believable! Read my lips pan-face piss off! Take me home? I’ll take you home you triangular faced monstrosity, dump you in my dungeon vat and boil you till all of you flesh drops off. I’ll boil you in the bag you big fish supper. You’re nothing but cod for the captain’s table. You’re rubbish. Up your mum. While you’re at it you can take old mud flaps Futado back with you. Back to the eighties with the pair of you. Goddamn Swing Out Sister slut.
2D: They didn’t ask for our comments Murdoc they just wanted a list of our favourites.
Murdoc: I didn’t ask for yours either but I’m hearing it.
Gorillaz Top Ten Albums of 2001

What are you doing this Christmas?
Murdoc: We’ve been working very hard so I’m off to Aspen to get krunked up with Jack Nicholson and Des Lynam.
If you were holding an Xmas party who would be on the guestlist?
Murdoc: Ajax from the Backstreet boys can bring all the krunk. Umm…Cirrhosis from Catatonia. This girl I saw in a video the other day, I only managed to download twenty seconds of it but she looked like good company. Kate Hudson and her mum Goldie for some pissed up hot family action. Shirley Manson for chucking chips at when things get a bit slow. Mariah Carey because she wants to go where the rainbows are and so do I, love. David Bowie, because at about three o clock in the morning the acoustic guitars come out and he’d be great at doing an impersonation of himself.
And whose name definitely wouldn't be down?
Murdoc: Hewlett, Albarn and Barrymore. Jason Pierce because the man's got a face like a mouldy old sack of spuds. He never smiles. Natalie Imbruglia, I’ve nothing against her but her everyone says that her farts stink like mankey apples mixed with rotting herring and I’m not having it. Fatboy Slim. I don’t mind him D.J’ing but he’s bound to bring the violent bastards from that clog-dancing group he used to be in.
Party Records of the year?
Russel: Social Classics Vol. 2 - Dread Meets Punk Rockers Uptown (Selected by Don Letts).
Murdoc: No, no, no some of that Shaggy hot shit shot stuff that Noodle’s into. Banging, pumping, magic.
Are you a party animal/party pooper?
Murdoc: Ironically I have a great time by pooping them. Party pooper animal. That’s me. I’m happiest when everybody else is pissed right off
Money no object - if you could buy any other pop star and xmas present - who and what?
Murdoc: I’d get Justin Timberlake a subscription to an adult pay site so he can download the movies of what everyone else is doing to his girlfriend. The boy obviously needs a hand.
Top Hangover cure?
Murdoc: Staying drunk. If you’re going to start why stop and if you do stop don’t waste your time whinging about it. You’ve poisoned yourself. What did you expect? Shut up and drink up
