Gorillaz : G-Sides
How do you remix a cartoon? Answer: like this...
This B-sides collection is aimed at the Japanese market, and the sleeve gives the game away. For once, Noodle (the Gorillaz girl whose parents are Manga cartoon characters) is the star. Apart from an X-Box or Julian Casablancas, it's hard to imagine Tokyo youth getting more excited about anything else. A cartoon character and the singer in Blur ! What's the Japanese for...

Gorillaz - D-Sides: Wikipedia Album Entry
D-Sides is a 2007 compilation album by Gorillaz. The album contains B-sides and remixes from singles and bonus tracks for the band's second studio album Demon Days. It was released on 19 November 2007 in the UK and on 20 November in the United States and is available in standard and deluxe editions.The standard Japanese edition features two extra tracks while the Japanese deluxe version has no extra tracks. The creature on the album cover is Pazuzu.
D-Sides performed similarly to its 2002 predecessor, G-Sides, reaching #63 on the UK Album Chart, while it only managed #166 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
Background
In a 2006 interview with Verbicide magazine, band members were asked if a new remix album would be produced for Demon Days as there was for Gorillaz. They answered that it was a possibility and that might involve the Space Monkeyz again. In the same interview, they were asked if there might also be another G-Sides. Again, their answer was that it might be possible. In January 2007, websites began listing a March release date for a Phase 2 B-sides album. One of the websites, musictap.net, later pushed this back to 3 April. According to Gorillaz-Unofficial, the reaction of official parties behind Gorillaz is that the release date is just a rumour for now. On 29 August, musictap.net reported that the B-side album would be titled D-Sides and would be released on 20 November. On 18 September 2007, the official Gorillaz fansite confirmed the release of the album, as well as unveiling the album artwork and track listing. D-Sides was released on 19 November 2007 in the UK and on 20 November 2007 in the U.S.
