New Gnarls Barkley Video - "Crazy"

"Crazy" is already in your head, but now Danger-Lo are trying to get inside your mind, man -- rorschach stizz. Crazy enough for you? Watch the indie soul phenoms' first video here (ASX). UPDATE: Or, just watch the YouTube...

Even more exciting? Gnarls live on Top Of The Pops!

Pretty cool. Yet it seems like such a waste of those awesome publicity photo outfits.

RIAA just sent a cease and decease letter against iguessiamfloating instead of the usual email.

I love Top of the Pops. They've always got quality production values on their performances. BBCAmerica used to show TotP every week, but they don't show it anymore. I guess they need the timespot to show their 11th and 12th episode of "Cash in the Attack" per day.

Excellent find, I was wondering what they were gonna do for a live show...now I know.

Raj, they were doing Officer and a Gentleman, which goes with their previous publicity photos. Personally I'd like to see them do a Willy Wonka look. You hear that GB?

good LORD, is this good. believe the hype yo. give me this, the new tv on the radio, some solo andre 3000, and maybe a remix or two of the new prince joints and i'm all set. i say new soul revolution coming. i say love is in the air. i say let's take it to the streets y'all. yes? who's with me?

on a somewhat related subject, aesthetically speaking, i say 2008=1968. anyone else feeling this way lately? hillary first, then how about obama/olmos in 2012? let's cure AIDS already. and why not college for everyone? let's create MORE access to opportunity and self-actualization and self-reliance and less borders, less barriers, and less restrictions to the same. more yes and less no already. it's called the american dream for a reason. and end the ignorance. and end the fear. end this goddamn irrational FEAR of a brown slash gay slash female planet. and end poverty too, while we're at it. share. it's not so hard. why is it so difficult to tear down the walls that separate people from OTHER PEOPLE? that separates "our" world from "theirs"? let's end this "us vs. them" mentality. no one stays on top forever, george. just ask the romans. and let's end these goddamn WARS already too, once and for all. the one here AND the one over there. you know what I mean. the battle isn't being fought in the sand as much as it is being waged in our hearts and in our minds. this is all so silly, right? i mean, if your really stop to think about it. it's time to change. and we ARE changing, whether we like it or not. it's called evolution bitches. say it with me, eh-VO-LOO-shun. SCI-ence. still going strong after all these years. amazing, isn't it? can't close that door once it's been opened. can't shove those secrets back in the box now, can we? the age of reason? the enlightement? high-school biology class? any of these ring a bell, you spineless gun-toting and bible-thumping "moral majority" nutjobs? you know who you are. for the rest of us, i say look...we can do this people. if we all just stick together. strength. strength in numbers. walkout, stereogum, WALKOUT. peace is yours if you want it. clarity too.

sorry. it's just the paint fumes. really. thanks for the videos. later.
