why do i fight it?
been avoiding gnarles barkley, certain that i would not like it, based on dangermouse's involvement in the most unfortunate grey album. this morning, one of the local hip-hop stations exposed me to the single crazy. oh, what a fool i've been. guess i should read stereogum more often.
i feel so reconnected to the youth (i.e. the myspace generation)! is disco returning to the mainstream for real?

said: i still haven't heard this. been avoiding it 'cause of dangermouse too, but also kind of wanting to hear it 'cause i really like cee-lo. actually i just went to sfj's best of 2006 page and followed the link he has to a live version. it's pretty nice.
said: I downloaded the whole dilly. I don't really like Dangermouse. The Grey album was overhyped. I finally listened to it the other day. Not that great. I'm also turned off by groups with really bad names because if I'm ever listening to it out loud, and someone asks me what I'm listening to, I'll have to say the name and sound stupid. Also, I was kind of turned off by the fact that I learned about the collabo from Best Week Ever. Does that make me a nerd?
Crazy is a good single, but the rest of it is kind of hit or miss. There's a cover of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone" is horrible. I also don't like all the little outfits they wear in press photos. It's obnoxious.
But I do really like Cee-lo, too. You should check out Soul Food by The Goodie Mob, especially if you like early Outkast.
said: it's hard to imagine obnoxious little outfits being a bad thing, but the clockwork orange photo on gnarles' wiki entry is rather stupid and uninspired. i suppose the bar has been set a bit high, though
