A fan page dedicated to all fans of CeeLo Green, Danger Mouse, Gnarls Barkley & the mighty Goodie Mob! π₯ Trying to make the biggest CeeLo Green collection on the internet.
This week, I am on vacation. I write to you from the seaside address whereupon I spent much of my childhood.
Although it occupies the same geographic location, this house, which I have rented for the week, bears little practical resemblance to the elegantly shabby cottage of my youth. When I was a lad, my family would place buckets under the leaks in the roof, boil the water, and use if for cooking and drinking. Now, an upper story has been added, and there are no holes in the roof. Water runs from taps in the sinks and bathtubs, and a large refrigerator preserves the fresh produce. The floorboards are new and do not creak.
I must confess a bit of the sentimental nostalgia for the place in its earlier dilapidated condition. How strange, and old mans' confusion when the problems of his youth are put right.
Compared to St. Elsewhere, this land is rife with bustle and competition. In its place, competition can be exciting. (I am a tad chagrinned that, upon my public challenge to him, my rival Tsar Christopher promptly disappeared from public view I was pumped for an invigorating campaign against him in the fall. So it goes.) But I fear that the folk of my homeland have forgotten the purpose their competition was supposed to serve: the greater good of all people. As we attempt to one-up each other, we must continually re-examine the goals we are pursuing: if the ends of our contests and struggles are not valuable, then neither are the games themselves.
Last night, I ate a large plate of spaghetti and took in a rock and roll show. The band, Balderdash, had at some point invited a particularly witty heckler on stage to insult them at close range. This arrangement worked so well that the heckler became a member of the band, and now performs with them on tour. I found it a clever gimmick, though the members of Balderdash, including the aforementioned heckler, we far too drunk to properly pull of their cover of The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore.
I will return in a few days time. Next week, I will address St. Elsewhereβs most pressing concerns, including any that may have arisen in my absence. Fear ye not.
#TBT of when your worries and fears become your friends... And end up smillin' at you. π Are yall ready to go back to St. Elsewhere?
Gnarls Barkley, at Later... With Jools Holland.
Since this is the year to be a Gnarls Barkley fan,Β @ceelogreenΒ reminds us how Crazy was born. Crazy is one of those classic songs, that no matter how much time passes, still resonates with us.Β #CRAZYΒ isn't it?!
π°ππππ ππππ πππππ π πππππ ππππ... But what about us ππππππππ? π₯
Gnarly Davidson. One of @ceelogreen 's CRAZIEST gigs! ππ₯
I pity the foooOoOOoOooOoll, that have not yet listened to CeeLo & The Scarlet Fever band play FU in an acoustic way! π₯ @ceelogreen should go acoustic more often!
"Everything I heard on the radio and saw on TV became the music of my mind that Iβm still listening to closely. Iβm always thinking in circles and patterns, and cursive calligraphy. I always see these beautiful things in my mindβlike my life is one long-running TV show with a fiercely moving theme song that Iβm still writing."
No wonder some of @ceelogreen 's music looks and feels like a movie. Feels like scoring, as a soundtrack to something bigger. No wonder we had the amazing mixtape - "CeeLo Green: TV On The Radio", in which he explores the theme songs of many shows and movies that he grew up with. If you've never heard it, you really should! It's fantastic. πΊπ»πΆ
I'll die when I'm done... But are you done? β’ Gnarls Barkley makes me feel like a super hero. π΄πΎπ₯ Crazy, live at Later With Jools Holland. A classic! | @ceelogreen
π»ππ πͺπ π¦ πππ π¨? Gnarls Barkley's first album (St. Elsewhere) almost had an entire different name! π€― πΏ
Back in 2006, during one of the first interviews to Gnarls Barkley with their recently released 'St. Elsewhere', CeeLo & Danger discussed about the title of the album and of the duo. Danger revealed that 'Gnarls Barkley', contrary to popular belief, has nothing to do with the basketball player - Charles Barkley. It was just a fun name that came up in a restaurant brainstorm, and they liked the sound of it.
CeeLo also revealed that the famous freshman album - 'St. Elsewhere' by Gnarls Barkley was to have a totally different name! "We almost called the album Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo: Who Cares?" He says.
Gnarls' success was #CRAZY , but before it was something, it was only a shot in the dark. CeeLo had a great album, but not the fame he deserved as a solo artist; Danger was only starting to be seen as a (in)famous artist... So, "who cares" about them?
We do. And now we can barely wait for GB's 3rd album. π₯π₯
Oh, this is the art of 'Who Cares' as a single. Interesting to know this now, as this song has more than 4 album covers/special arts.
"Now, a revolution if done right, It won't be a rumour that's repeated." This is POWERFUL! This is Goodie Mob. π₯ You have to listen to "Survival Kit", by the MOB.
In 2016 CeeLo brought us to chuch, with a beautiful song about his early days, with his mother, grandmother and sister. "Sunday Shoes", a song about beliefs, the Atlanta "not-so-Dirty-South" days and his early passion in soul and gospel music - through his experiences in church.
Pick up your sunday shoes and listen to this hidden gem, lost in time! "A sweet lil song about humble beginnings. I was made a man by some very great women. I dedicate this one to Atlanta SUNDAY SHOES. Enjoy, Lo"
