BBC news tells us that the only chart that counts has entered a new epoch...
so, first download only release to get to number one! living in interesting times (chinese cursed by last post, clearly) the tune itself is pretty neat - today is the first time i've heard it, given that radio 1 usually totally passes me by, and boy do i feel superannuated as E V E R Y O N E at work asks who's playing Gnarls Barkley... it has that instant mash timeless classic effect, a tune out of nowhere that appears to have existed since pop music became.
It's the words on the Gnarls Barkley website that really seal it for me.
'Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere
“You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions.” -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs '
... so stick that in your post-everything postbag and post it!
