Gnarls Barkley Contest
Gnarls Barkley, an enigmatic presence in the entertainment business, formally introduced himself in 2006, to the tune of the popular song “Crazy.” He released the acclaimed LP St. Elsewhere, garnered two Grammy Awards (and six nominations), and became a global phenomenon without ever appearing in public. He doesn’t care for the word “should.”
With fame came attention, and Gnarls doesn’t care for attention, either. Thus, to protect himself from the public gaze, he split himself in two, the yin and the yang. This opened a tunnel through the forbidden underworld of popular music and human psychology, a world explored on Gnarls Barkley’s second LP, The Odd Couple.
We’re giving away a Gnarls Barkley prize pack, consisting of:
-a limited edition “The Odd Couple” double vinyl record (one record plays the album forward, the other plays it backwards)
-a copy of “The Odd Couple” CD
-a copy of their first album “St. Elsewhere” CD
-a copy of Estelle’s upcoming album “Shine,” featuring an appearance by Gnarls Barkley singer Cee-Lo (and other artists like John Legend, Kanye West, Kardinal, etc.)
To enter this contest, you must comment on this post, complete with your email and a funny joke. Simple. Funniest joke wins! (Decided by me, of course.. and I have an odd sense of humour.)
The deadline for submission is Monday, May 5th. Gareth Jones is the winner. Congrats Gareth.
Here’s the first single from The Odd Couple, “Run”
