The damndest thing...

Posted over 5 years ago
It's the weirdest thing...I first heard of Gnarls Barkely months ago when they did that performance dressed up in Star Wars costumes. "Ok," I thought, "geeky is cool." But I listened to a few tracks, and wasn't blown away. So I just forgot about them and just politely nodded whenever somebody started talking excitedly about them to me.Today, I randomly clicked on "Gone Daddy Gone":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zc2908P7bs on YouTube because I'm a huge Violent Femmes fan, and I didn't know this wasn't a video with the Femmes in it.It was ok - cute, even. Then I saw a link for _Crazy_ and I ended up watching that.Cool. I kind of _liked_ that.Then I saw a link to _Smiley Faces_ and as I was watching that, I totally **got it**. I've listened to the entire St. Elsewhere CD, now, and, _man_, this is **good**!

  2. atman says I bought the video for "Crazy" a few months ago from iTunes. Weird and _crazy_ (good way to describe it).

  4. lemontwist says Don't you love it when music just creeps up on you all of a sudden like that? It never ceases to amaze me how quickly I can go from "I hate this shit" to "wow, I love this, I need more."
