I realize that I need to use the "music" tag here more regularly. Heck, I never got to push out my best of 2011 mix! (Any takers for that still?)

But right now, this post isn’t about the music of last year, it’s about a brand new track released TODAY!

The Gorillaz are releasing a series of Chuck Taylors with the fine folks at Converse (they who’s shoes I’ve almost constantly worn since age 11 or so), so they decided to release a new song with some VERY awesome collaborators.

The track is titled “DoYaThing” and it features James Murphy (formerly of LCD Soundsystem) and an absolutely stupendous guest appearance from Andre 3000.  It’s 4 and a 1/2 minutes of pure awesome funk jam, and I think it’s the perfect thing you need for your Thursday.

Download “DoYaThing” here and check out the sweet Gorillaz kicks here.

EDIT - 2/24/12 - 9:35am Want to hear a THIRTEEN MINUTE version of this song? GO FOR IT!
