it's getting to the point where i'm no fun anymore

I'm sorry my posts have been rather scarce as of late. I've been suffering from writer's block. Normally, I would post anyway, something lazy or pseudo-existential. This time, I just couldn't. I wouldn't say I'm back to full capacity but I have summoned up a few things that I can talk about, hopefully ably.I do return to you bearing excellent news. I just bought tickets to go see the amazing Crosby, Stills & Nash on June 3rd.

They're one of my favourite groups so I'm very, very excited.

Also, I feel it is my civic duty to point out (because it's not getting enough/any airplay) that the new Gnarls Barkley song is incredible. It's called "Run" and the video is, in the words of Justin Timberlake who makes a (okay, I must confess) cameo, crazy fresh. It failed the epilepsy tests so if you're prone to seizures, I'd advise only watching the first two minutes. If you watch it and have a seizure, please don't sue me, but know I'm deeply sorry. I can tell it's not going to be as big as "Crazy" and maybe that's for the best. I wouldn't want to get sick of it.

Maybe it's time to do something crazy in life. Like join the circus or become a Rock of Love contestant....that'll give you some writing material!

I saw CS&N when they came to Texas back when I was about ten...they're phenomenal, especially when you're RIGHT in front of the on-stage speakers!

Cate said...

wow, the song run is cool! have you heard about the teenagers?, i love them!
and i didn't have a fit while watching the video...well if i'm listening to hard rock or something it sometimes might look as if i'm having a fit but it's just headlessly headbanging.

I just read your comment, and how do you survive without H&M?! Can't imagine life wthout it..

Oh, and on a total random note, have your heard Alex Turner's new project The Last Shadow Puppets? It's so awesome! I found out about it here, the track on the page is so great! http://www.soundvenue.com/hitlist.asp

Great video! I have loved Cee-Lo for ages, always thought he was very hipster quirky, so Gnarls Barkley fits him, in a good way.

Carolina Lange said...

Crosby, Stills and Nash! Don't forget to post about the concert!
The video is great!

Adele said...

hope you get all your writing skills bak haha.x

bronwyn said...

I like the song and the video, I hadn't heard this song before. I think it will be hard for him to come up with another "crazy", it's one of those spectacular, brilliant, up there, genius, feel good songs.

Molly :] said...

I love the gnarls song too!

Paha. We are too cool molly :) x

ellie said...

I'm not sure if I've heard of them.

NonchalantMod said...

woah!! the video was quite something. Loved it though!

Ana said...

ahaha Justin Timberlake needs to fall in a canal.

Crazy was good, but I prefered Smiley Faces which got less air time.

You lucky spaniel, you! And I have a question for you, because you seem knoweledgable. I don't think I spelled that correctly. I have a record sleeve, and I don't know what album it's from. It doesn't say on the sleeve. So, I was wondering if you could identify it. I can't really describe it, so just look on my sidebar, because I'm going to post a picture of it.
Thanks.
