Another observation. (and one that isn't rock!)


During my usual news rounds, I have run across the name of Gnarls Barkley too many times to ignore. So, last night, I finally took the time to research this artist whose been causing all the buzz. Turns out, it's actually two guys making the buzz. Namely, Danger Mouse and Cee-lo. Alright, alright, looks good so far. But how does the music sound? Brilliant, that's how it sounds. Mixing together their musical talents to produce something a little bit old (think Marvin Gaye-esqe), and a little bit new (beats that you can't help but feel), Gnarls Barkley certainly deserves the press and chart-topping success that they've received. They're new cd St. Elsewhere is out on May 9th, and so far, it's on constant rotation here at the scenester headquarters (a.k.a. my room). Each track is just as catchy as the last, and has been classified by my roommate (who is hard to please musically) as "fucking awesome". Check out their single "Crazy" which is out now, and buy the album on the 9th. You probably won't regret it.
