Kid Koala (키드 코알라, 본명: Eric San)는 턴테이블 신동이라고 불리며 현재 활동하는 DJ 가운데 최고의 테크니션을 자랑하는 중국계 캐나다인 출신으로 카툰 캐릭터를 내세운 최초의 가상 밴드 고릴라즈 (Gorillaz)의 턴테이블 스크래칭을 맡고 있기도 하다. 또한 고릴라즈의 멤버 Del Tha Funkee Homosapien와 함께 Deltron 3030이라는 그룹으로도 활동하고 있는 그는 뛰어난 만화 솜씨로도 이미 이름이 익히 알려져 있는데, 닌자튠에서 발표한 데뷔앨범 [Carpal Tunnel Syndrome]에 자신이 직접 그린 30여 페이지의 흑백 무성 만화를 부록으로 실은 것도 거기에 연유가 있다. 아기자기하고 재기 넘치는 음악과 어울리는 익살스런 만화 속 캐릭터와 유쾌한 화풍은 턴테이블리즘 앨범을 기묘한 컨셉 음반으로 변모시키는데 결정적 공헌을 했다. 사실 데뷔 앨범에 만화를 실었던 것은 순전히 음반 작업의 피로에 대해 스스로 정신적 보상과 재충전이 필요했기 때문이라고 한다. 데뷔작 발매와 동시에 음악 뿐 아니라 만화로도 호평을 받게 되자 만화책 출간을 제의받았고 결국 3년여의 작업 끝에 [Nufonia Must Fall]라는 무성 만화로 탄생했다. 이후로 왕성한 작품활동과 콜라보레이션 그리고 DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist의 2008년 투어공연 오프닝을 맡는 등 무대에서도 모습을 보이고 있다. .... ....
Good morning, houseplants(?). Yes, it's wake-up time. - Ayo, wake up! Time to get up and go to work...
(All right!)
#### Too much caffeine is not good for you, and I know it's SO easy, because I myself in the old days used to drink, uh, oh, I was up to sixty-three, sixty-four cups a day...
...and... ...and then... ...and then there are those soft, cuddly little creatures, the koala bears. They sleep by day, and make love by night - as we do, mostly.
What is this? They come out, they don't even have any instruments, they got two record players, they're going <imitated scratching noise>...
Tonight I'm going to a DJ party! You know, a disc jockey party. I feel quite honored, as they asked me to do a little of my material at the party! It will be a great opportunity for me. This is what I'm going to do for them!
Ah, come on!... Boo! Booo! - What the hell? - You know something, Scratchy? ... You got a problem.
####
Ah, come on!
...come on!
Ah, come on! Let 'em have it!
- Ah, my arm! And that, of course, is what he deserved for pretending to be a musician, when he was only a butcher.
What-what-what-what did you use mud for, in those days? - Uh, mud was the sound of a gladiator falling. When a lion knocked him down. You would just what... throw some mud? - Throw some mud, and it made the sound. And various weights of gladiators would be just various size muds. Then I'd also stick mud in people's heads, and then punch them. That was a good soft sound, it sounded like a bag of grits falling off of a car.
...'s the one thing I do on the ... stress upon you, and that is: play with records. Get your favorite records, put 'em on the machine, and play with records. ...you feel good.
...Their fingers itched for their curious profession. They hungered to ply their wicked trade.
- ...you know, it's hard to -- we didn't have anything to record with, so I had to remember 'em all.
What were the main items that you used to make these sound effects? - We used a rock, a stick, I used to kick my foot in a river to make a sound of a... a flushing noise, and then I would, uh... uh, I would take, uh, skins, of course, and I would, uh, rap on bald guys' heads...
Do you know what that was? - I think that is a... uh, an insane man pulling the hair out of a baboon's back. No, that was a blender. I know you didn't have blenders, either, back in those days. - No, no, we didn't, but we did drink.
...Thousands of people own their own camera equipment. Stamps are profitable, too, because they gradually increase in value. What did I ever do to deserve this? - I like your style. - What?! - I like your style. - What are you, some sort of a nut? ...and WOW! - Hellooo! - Are you talkin' to me, fella? Are you beginning to feel the rhythm now? Do you feel the rhythm coursing through your veins, setting your blood on fire? - I'm sorry, do I know you?
- ...um...
Don't ask her if she likes to dance unless you know how to dance. When it's trying to get the attention of the opposite sex, it will slap its great forefins in the direction of the one it wants. - What ARE you doing? - Aw, come on now, who do you think you are, you-- - Fernando, fancy-fly extraordinaire! Don't talk about yourself, and your interests, all during the meal. How would you like to spank somebody? - I beg your pardon! Don't be afraid to use adjectives when you talk to women.
- I still wake up at nights, dreaming... - I don't- I don't- I don't- I don't think you should be telling me these things.
- Hey. Hey, you! - Are you talkin' to me, fella? - Yeah. I love you. My neighbor's favorite occupation is making models of boats. - Hey, would you shut up? - ...you know, I'm, uh... heh... it's awful nice to sit here with you, I... hah... that's an awful nice record, I'd--I just thought, you know, if, uh... yeah, it's right around the corner, I don't know, you know, if you wanted to... listen to a record... I, uh... you know, I just rattle around in a big apartment all by myself... heh... just me and the hi-fi... ha ha ha! - You poor little thing. My heart goes out to you. ...And so does this poker! - Augh!
As I outlined to you in your office, we would be very happy to have the chance of handling your new twelve-inch long-playing records, and I would like to see you again, in your office, early next week.
His first date. He wasn't quite sure what to do, and what to say.
- ...see for yourself! That's her! - Where? - Sitting right in front of us! That's Sharon! - Oh... wow! The most important thing is the first thing you say! - Hello! - What do you want? - I feel I might lay an egg any moment! - I beg your pardon? - What's a beautiful woman like you doing in a bar like this? - Beat it, jerk! - Now don't sugar-coat it. Just what is it you're trying to say? - Oh, grow up!
- You're falling in love with me! - You're falling in love with me! - No time for this nonsense! - Why do men always assume that a woman alone at a bar is just waiting to be picked up? How would you like to spank somebody? - I beg your pardon? - I do love, love, love you. - I know, but I do wish you weren't so... ugly. - Would you like to come over to my apartment and listen to some albums? - What is the matter with you?!
