Songs, yo. Karen O oh no, Barkley yes!

'Husband' and I were talking about specific listenning habits the other day, and we came to the conclusion that sometimes, for no reason at all, we listen to songs a hundred times in a row just for the hell of it. Right up to the point where you just can't reasonably take it anymore. Apparently, he managed to listen to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest single a good 17 times or so in a row. If I may add something about it - I saw them on Mtv Europe this afternoon and got well depressed. Karen O doing promotion on the telly, talking about how much she liked the video, and how killer her single was? Oh please, kill me now.

My new obsession is a song by Gnarls Barkley. It's called 'Crazy', and I first heard it last thursday morning, when i woke up listenning to France Inter - the best radio station in France, ever. I believe I have listenned to it a good 10 times in a few hours now. It's not especially good, it's a bit of a futile song to be honest, but I find it amazing. Cee-Lo's voice is definitely unique, the beat is ah-okay, the BVs are just alright, but I am absolutely addicted.

In fact the whole cd is absolutely great by my humble standards, and the funny thing is....the funny thing is I've always hated Modest mouse (I know....shut up).

Also - who here remembers Bilal, the Neo Soul prodigy child? 'You're my soooullll sissstahhhhh'? When I was a raging Nu-Soul fanatic circa 2001-2003, he was all I was listenning to. His live performance are off the hook, man. I think he feel into some kind of heavy depression-alcholism-drugs 24-7 party right after the release of his first cd, but I had the opportunity to listen to the advance copy of his latest effort, and I am very excited.

I am also trying to find a song that could be tentatively catogorised as 'Morrocan trip hop'. The title is Hdjendjell, by a band called 'Mig'. It's mind blowing. If anyone is willing to find it somewhere, well hook me up, yo.
