Gnarls Barkley

Posted about 4 years ago
You can probably tell by my play lists that I'm, well, not really a current music guy. I'm definitely not into hip hop or rap (though I'm a big reggae fan, which preceded both genres...), and I'm just the least bit suspicious of "alternative" music, which leaves the buttons on my radio set to NPR and the local Christian and Jazz stations most of the time.But, as a high school principal, I'm forced by my charges to occasionally listen to music outside my comfort zone (thank goodness!)...and I have tripped across Gnarls Barkley--and love them! I recently downloaded "The Odd Couple" thinking that it might not be as good as their first outing...but I was very pleasantly surprised! Give it a listen...

  1. democlez says It's always great feeling finding music to love outside your comfort zone. I haven't heard much from their new release besides the single "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)" but I've liked quite a few tracks from St. Elsewhere. I have troubles thinking of Gnarls Barkley as Hip Hop since I have troubles differentiating that genre from Rap. Since the lyrics are more sung than rapped, I think of them more as a blend of R&B and pop.

  2. MrFrost says their new video from The Odd Couple is actually pretty good (if not just plain weird)...
