[gaza-evacuation-funds]

Today's vetted fundraisers

My name is Ayaa, a 24-year-old teacher from Gaza City. I used to live a peaceful life with my family in our home, a 6-story building that we built through years of hard work. Sadly, it was completely destroyed, leaving us homeless.

My brother and I ran a language training center where we taught English to kids, teenagers, and adults. We were passionate about our work and had big dreams, but the war shattered everything. One morning, we woke up to the news that our center had been destroyed, along with our family car, which my mother had bought by selling her jewelry.

We have lost everything, and now we turn to you for help. Your kindness and support would mean the world to us as we try to rebuild our lives.

Please don't ignore my story 🇵🇸🥹💔

I am Yousef, a father of three children: Aboud, Adam and Lana. I currently live in the destroyed Gaza Strip of Khan Younis in a dilapidated tent alone. I have suffered a lot with the children; we had to flee from the north to the center, then to Rafah, and back again to Khan Younis.🇵🇸

We live in very difficult conditions, my daughter Lana suffers from severe malnutrition,💔 and her condition has worsened due to the effects of the war, I cannot provide for their basic needs due to the scarcity of resources and the high prices.💔🍉

Please help me take care of my children. There is no safe place in Gaza; every place is at risk at any moment. I need a small donation to help me evacuate and travel outside Gaza. I need 2000 but it takes a lot of money. I lost our home and all our sources of income.

I trust in your humanity, and I kindly ask for your support. Please don’t turn away from us. Help us achieve our goal of leaving Gaza and finding safety for my children 💔🇵🇸

This blog? outstanding. It's def what I needed. Hell, I didn't even knew some of the stuff here! It's making me miss the old 2D and everything.

Thank you, I so appreciate that! I haven't posted to this sideblog in MONTHS but the number of positive comments I'm getting are making me think I should get a backlog going over winter break so I can keep feeding you morsels

The problem is it just takes a while to scrub through audio, clip out what I want, and then write down a transcript. I may get back on this eventually though. It makes me so happy to see people enjoy it.

It really is like finding buried treasure, listening to these old recordings!

[gorillazsoundbytez]

Thank you so much for adding transcripts under your audio!! I’m HoH and sometimes hearing accents/fast speaking trips me up and I have to replay things which can be frustrating-I’m so grateful I can listen to the clips u post and read along!! I’ve recently gotten into Gorillaz and am rlly excited to dive into older interviews and vids of the band members irl and fictional interacting :-) I hope running this blog is fun and joyful and ur having a good week!! 💓

Anon ilysm and am so glad the transcripts are useful because whoo boy. Yeah, the accents, man, it's sometimes impossible for me to make out what these guys are saying without replaying the audio like 8 times

So glad you're enjoying! I haven't posted clips in a long while between school, life and hobbies but maybe I'll get back to it eventually. Thanks for the kind words.

2D (Nelson De Freitas) DJing. I just love his inflection here!

2D Takin’ Over, Iceberg Radio, 2005 (original upload by blurarchiveproject)

Transcript under the cut:

2D: Hoi! This is 2D from Gorillaz. Uh, and that was New Order. Comin’ up next are the very influential Kraftwerk! band. (awkwardly, as if reading aloud) The-they, along with [another artist’s name] were the pioneers of minimalist electronic music. I think this track is about, uhh, sexy robots, or something? tHE mODEL,,,

[gorillazsoundbytez]

Haha, I feel like in the older radio clips, they originally written 2-D to be more cruder than he is now, what with the Uncle Ben's Rice joke and others lol.

Definitely! I miss him being a little crude and wild; he used to have more personality and depth, in my opinion. The writing on all the characters has improved in some ways but they all feel a little sterilized. In some respects, that's good, as Noodle has moved away from being a potentially offensive caricature and the writing around 2D feels more respectful in sone ways, but he's been reduced to a Soft Boy and lost some fun quirks and personality. Part of it could be mellowing with age but some of it feels like a weird honing in on the "haha he's stupid bleh blah hehe" while dancing around trying to look pc at the same time. I don't know how to express it but it feels bad

Transcript under the cut:

2D: Okay, yeah, hello! This is, ah, 2D from Gorillaz, and we’re doin’ the Hijack on XFM, an’ I’d just like to say that nobody got hurt and no animals were hurt and nobody’s been hurt.

(cut)

2D: Yeah, this is still 2D and Russel from Gorillaz, and you’re still listenin’ to XFM, an’ we’re doin’ the Hijack! But, like we said before, no one got hurt and no animals were involved. 

Russel: Thank you, thank you, uhhhh, this track comin’ up is, ah, an old favorite for R&B-heads, and especially my dear departed friend, Del, uhhh, the rapper who been livin’ inside me as a spirit. And, uh, “Clap Your Hands” is a great track.

2D: Y’know, “Clap-Clap Your Hands” is actually a good track, cause...clap-the clap was the first thing I ever picked up. If you know what I mean.

Russel: Uh...ah, that’s...that’s--that’s kinda strange, man. 

2D: Yeah.

Russel: Well, thank you.

2D: That’s okay.

Russel: I’m sure the people will be very happy to know that.

2D: I’m sure they will. 

Russel: Just don’ be shakin’ my hand from now on.

2D: Okay. Whatever you like, Russ. 

(long pause)

Russel: Uh, should we play the track?

2D: Yeah, alright then.

2D and Russel (Nelson De Freitas and Remi Kabaka Jr.) talk about Charlie Parker. No, the other Charlie Parker. And 2D’s unfortunate piano teacher.

Gorillaz: Hijack on XFM, March 25, 2001. Uploaded by Lily

Transcript under the cut:

2D: Ah- Russ? 

Russel: Yeah?

2D: Y-you said that was Charlie Parker, now I used to go to school with Charlie Parker an’ I don’t remember ‘im doin’ that!

Russel: (quietly, defeated) No, I mean, you got--you got the wrong Charlie Parker, 

2D: No! ‘E was in my class. Charlie Parker, ‘es a carpenter now, but I never remember ‘im doin’ that track. 

Russel: This Charlie Parker, he-he-he din’t grow up in, uh, in Crawley, man.  

2D: Well, no, I din’t grow up in Crawley, I actually grew up in Hertfordshire! Din’t know that, did you?

(Russel laughs)

2D: I actually-we actually moved to, to Crawley, cause we ‘ad a lawsuit against us cause I broke my piano teacher’s hand. Ivana Brabanovitch, y’know, she was a classical pianist so, we had to move, but we’re not allowed to talk about that, so--

Russel (overtalk): Thank you, thank you very much. 

2D: It’s not a lie.

Russel: That was Charlie Parker. Uh, y’know, Charlie Parker burst his lungs tryna (I have no idea what he’s saying here), but what they really wanted was his eternal slowdown. Uh, you may remember Forest Whitaker played Parker. I love Forest Whitaker, man.

Gorillaz: Hijack on XFM, March 25, 2001. Uploaded by Lily

Transcript under the cut:

2D: You-y’know, Russ, speakin’ of orgasms reminds about a story about a person who’s got Uncle Ben’s rice in his jizz. 

(long, awkward pause)

Russel: Don’tcha mean ‘jazz?’

2D (audibly smiling): No, I mean Pearl Jam.

(Russel laughs in background)

2D: Anyway, right, I’d like to go on to the next track, which is “Ghost Town,” an’ I’ve gotta…say, that th-the man who plays the-the ivories on, on this track, his name is [sorry, can’t decipher it], and he is to me, yeah? what Satan is to Murdoc. Brilliant!

Transcript under the cut:

Noodle: Hi! That was “Block Party,” and coming up is a band called Ladytron with “They Only Want You When You’re Seventeen!” Ah...that sounds a bit like a kind of...Logan’s Run sentiment, but I’m only thirteen, so I’ve got bags of time yet! And you’re listening to Noodle’s Marshall Music Mix!
