ARRRRRR Mp3's are the freshest!! (This could be my favorite context-free "found" google pic of all time. Thank you, Al Gore, for inventing the internet and allowing me to experience the elation of discovering this. Feel free to submit any contenders that you think top this pic.)Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Guns N' Roses - There Was A Time
Flaming Lips - Free Radicals
Prince - Black Sweat
The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes
All of these tracks have been bouncing around the upper echelons of the mp3-blog echochamber for awhile now. Three of these five albums should be super duper. The other two will only be "duper", sans super.
Gnarls Barkley=Cee-Lo w/ Dangerdoom. "Crazy" is gonna blow up this summer. The single should officially drop in April or something. This track is some hot shiz.
Guns N Roses=Awesome. Axl sounds like he never put down his Nerf-topped microphone and went into therapy. No Slash this time around, but his guitarist Buckethead is up to the challenge as he shows in the last half of this track. The opening to this song is sketchy, but it warms up by the end to the point you'll be air-guitaring and crying and smiling and smashing something. All at once. It's good.
Flaming Lips=My most anticipated release of the spring. I hope they release a special edition so I can actually justify buying the real album. I've already got the advance copy. It's been worth the wait since "Yoshimi". "Free Radicals" sounds like Prince channeling Beck.
Prince=Genius, returning. If only Michael Jackson could've returned to greatness like Prince...
Raconteurs=Genius, declining. Jack White is still one-of-a-kind, but it's getting harder with every release to be kind to him. It's still a good track by pop radio standards, but...we've all come to expect better, "Blue Orchid" notwithstanding.

I'm glad you are enjoying the tunes. I can't stop playing the Gnarls Barkley track. That Prince track is sicker than anything he's done since Purple Rain. And, that Flaming Lips track is unfadeable, so please don't try to fade me (or the track.) This album should add some doozies to their live show which will be a hot ticket this summer/fall.
Have a great day peeps.
