"Run" Tell Dat-Gnarls Barkley Returns

Trying to find leaked, bootlegged, live or even voice recording of these cats on the Internet is like looking for "Morpheus" inside the "Matrix!" Can't explain how they manage to do it, in a time where another artist's whole album gets posted on the net... Gnarls Barkley are digital ghost (lol). Crazy huh? No pun intended..well maybe (sue me.) But at last patience prevails, because today I finally got a glimpse of hope that one of few favored groups I actually long to hear has a song circulating the "waves" now. After the first listen, then running the song back twice before I formed an unbiased opinion. I gotta, say number one, that I like it. And secondly it reminds me of something that would've gotten into the Cloverfield soundtrack, or at least the end credits. Here you have a listen, I'm not stingy wit mine.

OOPS (I spoke too soon, file has been removed, sorry)

"The Other NY Giant(s)" -Cloverfield Review

After all the on-line hype, the countless trailers and the 30 some odd TV spots every other minute,
I honestly was excepting to walk into a disaster... literally. Nothing these days usually lives up to the hype. You know what I'm talking about...
Spiderman 3
, Superman, the last Matrix, shall I go on? But for some reason this felt different, new even.
To call it "Blair Witch meets Godzilla" would not do it justice. There's a little bit more to it, and that something is
humor. Yep, besides the raw emotion of genuine fear, a good laugh of two are thrown in at the characters expense. The "party scenes" that you've seen in the trailer are just used as a plot set up for back story purposes, and for you the viewer, to even care about the folks involved. At one point I got so into the dialogue, I had forgotten that the action hadn't even started yet (lol)! But once it does start, it's good money.
My only true beef with the movie was, there was not a lot
of emotional investment felt from the characters. Real talk,
it would've been WAY more "WTFs" and "Oh S#its! " And one good,
"Dude, you're bugging the eff out right now, & it's not cool!"
If you ask me. All and all, I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it...on DVD. Just kidding. (wink)
