New music alert (for those that are saavy with the internets, you've heard a lot of the buzz already):
DJ Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo (of Goodie Mob fame) combined to form Gnarls Barkley and have just released their first album, St. Elsewhere. It's one part hip-hop, one part R&B, one part electronica with a dash of soul. I checked it out over the weekend and really liked it.
The first single is "Crazy", (you can download it here) which is a catchy one, but there are lots of others on the album that are sure to rock your party. Go get it.
Props to LongMan for pointing out this album to me. When I break in the new facility with multiple parties this month, St. Elsewhere will definitely be in the rotation. Whoo-hoo!
UPDATE: Check out Ray LaMontagne's cover of Crazy if you like acoustic grooves. TheGirl really likes Ray LaMontagne and Ray did a good job (and quickly, too) with this song.
Big Ups to MusicMatt for finding this cover and letting me know. He is always mining the internets for new music and frequently comes up with good stuff.
UPDATE: If you're a do-it-yourselfer, like Me and LongMan, you can check the Gnarls Barkley tabs here and a discussion and some ideas on the Ray LaMontagne tabs here. Looks like Ray plays it in a different key than Cee-Lo sings it, but it's not hard either way.
