"Why, you look nothing like your cartoon iteration," marvels Warner Records Co-Chairman/COO Tom Corson to Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn as they participate in a Coachella photo op that will be revered for generations. "This makes me realize we can be a lot more creative with our animated Zoom meetings—I'm going to have Mike Chester here rendered as a giant neon panda." Of course, Tom said nothing of the sort. But Gorillaz did turn in a killer Saturday night set, during which a HITS employee may or may not have whispered her innermost secrets to a saguaro. Seen vowing to coat their office floors with playa sand are (l-r) EVP Media/Head of Publicity Laura Swanson, SVP Rock & Alternative Promotion Rob Goldklang, Corson, Albarn, SVP A&R Daniel Werman, Co-Chairman/CEO Aaron Bay-Schuck, EVP Promotion & Commerce Chester, EVP Marketing & Artist Development Dionnee Harper and EVP/Head of A&R Karen Kwak.
