That's the first thing I've ever seen from Gnarls Barkley that made me think "Hey, that's kind of cool". The music certainly blows though. It must be popular in clubs as mixes or something.

It's more fun with the sound turned off.

Man those people look like THEY are the ones having the seizures when you can't hear the music.

I don't get it. You watch it and nothing happens except a puddle of drool forms on your lap.

I thought the video was awesome. I love those type of effects and patterns.

Good thing I'm not epileptic like my mom is, I suppose.

I was going to say the same thing. I like how they refer to Danger Mouse (unpictured) as if he wasn't a part of Gnarls Barkley.

Yes it must. Because nobody who only casually listens to music enjoys it, right?
Douche.

I love Cee-lo but i HATE dangermouse. Nothing worse then a pretentious hack of a DJ whose big breakthrough was that mediocre Beatles/JayZ mashup album. Bleh.

I'm happy for their success though, Cee-lo deserves the success even if suckmouse doesn't...

Hey, I defend cambie's comment. Not necessarily for cambie's sake but because it seems a lot of clubs play a lot of shiat a lot of the time. I figure it's because 1.) when you're drunk you'll dance to whatever the top over played song it because it's familiar and 2.) no one's really listening that closely anyway.

I'm happy on both accounts, I thought Cee-Lo was unappreciated as an incredible solo artist and I loved the Grey Album. A couple tracks I even like more than the original Black Album versions. DangerDoom and his album with Jemini were good too, and the fact that he made a 40 minute repetitive song of Paris Hilton saying "that's hot" for the fake cds Banksy put in stores with the altered artwork is the icing on the cake.

I didn't watch the video but anything done by Jack White cannot be done any better as far as I'm concerned. He is just too amazing

That thought actually did pass through my head when the colorbars started coming on. I guess it might make a difference that the seven nation army video had pretty muted colors.

Now, excuse me while I give $2500 to the McCain campaign.

That look and sound appears to me as quite unoriginal.


Seems to be attempting a "retro" hip kinda thing.


Outkast meets Fatboy Slim maybe?

I don't know anymore.

I can't keep up with these things.

They were surprised this failed the test? It's like every tongue-in-cheek epilepsy video joke rolled into one.

I loved the Grey Album, loved the first Gnarls cd, but that song kind of leaves me cold. Oh well.

I just don't get it, I've listened to it over and over again and every single song feels forced and trite IMO. I listen to all sorts of music that treads in these woods and Dangermouse is just mediocre (for me)...

here is your cracker-translation.: replace "Gnarls Barkley" with Jethro Tull, "Cee-Lo" with Ian Anderson, and "Danger Mouse" with Martin Barre.

 
redstarr01 2008-03-05 12:43:37 PM  
And they still air Megadeath's "Peace Sells" video occasionally? That thing is such a stobe nightmare that it makes me physically ill to watch it for more than a few seconds. I can't be convinced it wouldn't cause a seizure.

 
Aughsum 2008-03-05 12:43:38 PM  
I don't even know who skeelo is.. I confuse ceelo with TiLo, the other half of methods of mayhem.

In the world of clod9, Jack White taking a dump is a greater work of art than the Mona Lisa.

This is the first Gnarls Barkley song I like.

Wait.

Is that the video with bunches of people in ugly clothes and ugly jewelry jumping and pointing at the camera while they stand around some fancy cars they rented?

Is that the one?

 
Jamdug! 2008-03-05 05:51:43 PM  
How do they test for this? Do they place a bunch of seizure prone children in front of a television and make them watch the video to see if anyone falls over? Because if they do, I would pay money to watch the tests.

/Window seat.
