SO I went and saw "juiceboxx" at the flying monkey monday night. (huntsville AL)
Wow. Energy. it was really cool. Everyone was jumping up and down and he was just shouting along to a cd. it was in a cramped little "room" (more like a giant cubical)that's a record store. his show was shooooort. like 18 min short. He ended the set with a song called "sweat" and the chorus was "sweat,sweat,sweat drippin off", It was pretty much an old school house tune. (the 12in is really good!) It seemed pretty appropriate in the setting.
Second up was a thrash band called "holy shit". Now I saw them about 4 years ago,(on their first tour) and they were not very good. However, they were pretty damn amazing this time. Everyone was on beat/tune, and man were they hard. I wish I had bought a record of theirs.
I didn't hang out for the last band "the thomas function", because janette was ready to go home. but I hear they're really good.
*GO SEE THEM WHEN THEY COME TO YOUR TOWN!*

gnarls barkley- the odd couple.
I didn't think music made in a modern context could be so good. it's fucking beautiful.
Sure there are some stinkers on this one, but the diamonds outshine the rough. My absolute favorites are "My neighbor", "whos gonna save my soul" and "a little better"
The modern context thing could be debated though, this album is definitely 100% soul, but dangermouse's drum loops keep it from being TOO much of a throwback.
Cee lo has grown better by leaps and bounds, both in voice and lyrics. I didn't think dangermouse's production could get better, but honestly it has...this album is astounding.
avoid "whatever" and "would be killer"like the plague though.
P.S. damn it, I think "going on" is a fav as well.
