Video: Gnarls Barkley – Mystery Man

Mystery Man is a previously unreleased cut which will be featured on their Who’s Gonna Save My Soul EP, dropping on November 11th.

On an unrelated side note, someone tried to say that Kanye’s 808s and Heartbreak is going to be better than Gnarls Barkley’s The Odd Couple. I then accused him of being the lovechild [...]

Review: Gnarls Barkley at the 9:30 Club

This isn’t even a review.
See, what had happened was…..
I drive over to the 9:30 Club nice and early, not only to get a good spot for the sold out Gnarls show, but to check out the opener Hercules and Love Affair that everybody has been buzzing about. So I roll down to U Street, find [...]

Hmm…..Gnarls drops another er….interesting video for my favorite track off of The Odd Couple. The beginning was great, the ending, not so much. That heart looks like The California Raisins from back in the day.

Gnarls Barkley’s The Odd Couple Out Now

Gnarls Barkley decided that rather than releasing their album April 8th, let’s release it…..um. Today! Well, more like yesterday, when the duo rushed their albums to digital and retail markets. I’ve listened to the leak, and this is a fairly solid album. And yes, this is about to be the next trend: The band [...]
