A band with two members, Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse. They got a hit single called Crazy and everyone over here at the .org seem to love them.



I saw them for the first time last night on Leno. I must admit...I like them! They're different! I like different! thumbs up!


see, that's what's keeping me "pro-gnarls", even though i'm getting a little sick of all the hype around them and hearing "crazy" all over the place as if everyone thinks they just discovered the freakin' lost continent or something. lol

this is what pop music SHOULD be sounding like these days. this is what should be on the radio, this is what we SHOULD be getting tired of hearing about all the time. it's catchy, it's mainstream-friendly, and it's UNIQUE (as far as top 40 pop goes, at least). i really look forward to getting more tired of them, and i hope it inspires a trend of other cool music getting popular. more power to 'em, i say!

I don't like today's music much, but I didn't like much in the 80's either. In the 80's I listened to a lot of 60's & 70's music.

I thought early-mid 90's music got pretty decent, but enter Britney Spears and now music is like the 80's again. superficial pop.

thumbs up! And what I love best about this is that I didn't have to go looking for it. Well, kind of. In my first 2 attempts to purchase the CD it was sold out. giggle
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

The thing that blows my mind about the Gnarls Barkley tune is that it sounds a lot like an old school R&B tune. And the fact that people are hailing this as a revelation makes me believe that stuff with that old school kind of production value is what people are hungry for.

and, you know, we could gripe all day and deconstruct their music until it's just a wriggling little bean of a trifle that couldn't possibly mean anything significant to anyone in their right mind, or we could appreciate the fact that - YES - a song with a real hook that beckons classic r&b (not the overmelismatic, mid-tempo bubblegum plainchants that we're forcefed today), is being given a second glance by the mainstream public.

they're not the next great musical revelation, no - but they're a step in the right direction. i mean, hell - even nirvana was just a pixies tribute band, right? lol

But I haven't bought ANY of that shit! Why aren't they listening to me?! fit

I can't believe I'm admitting this but....redface
I only buy music that sounds like shit. I know that it's shit, but I can't help myself.
When I'm alone in my house, I'll listen to it at full volume, & always the cops come a'knocking, telling me "Sir....we've been recieving complaints about the music."
Then I'll say, "I'm sorry pi..oh..I mean...officer. I'll try & keep it down."
And they're always like, "Oh no, they're not complainin' about the loudness. It's just that it's shit."

Illustrator said:

It happened again.
Yesterday, the cops came knockin' on my door, sayin' that they've been gettin' complaints on how shitty the music comin' from my house was.
So, this time I told 'em,
I says,
"Well, then, you gentlemen (actually one was a female, but I figgered that 'gentlemen' would put more zing into my zinger) must feel right at home, cuz from what I hear, pigs love shit." And as I said it, I was doing that twirly head thing....
They responded by beating my ass down with their billy clubs & then draggin'
my half conscious carcass to the slammer for the night.

I just got back.

And I don't regret it a single bit.

It's through my taste in music that I 'spress myself, dammit.
If I couldn't do that, the terrorists win, don't they?

My shitty music is my middle finger to the world, maann.

Now...
if y'all will excuse me,
I'm gonna have me some Afternoon Delight,
followed by the Rapping Duke
& then Xtrina's Beautiful.
I'm covering every decade baby.

Illustrator said:

Well, since I'm not sensing any love on this one,
guess I'll just have to start my own 'Shitty Music Appreciation' thread.

Fuck all y'all one-sided thinkin' bastitches.

YAWL ! Illu .
