Gnarls Barkley
We think rumors are for losers, but we can't help being intrigued by the buzz surrounding the upcoming appearance of Gnarls Barkley on the White Stage on Friday. It's entirely likely that had the scheduling been carried out now rather than two months ago, Gnarls would have been headlining the day since his single, "Crazy," is already the most downloaded song in British music history and the album from whence it came, St. Elsewhere, has been hovering around number one for most of the last nine weeks. It's currently at number 8 on the Blillboard chart, so even the US isn't immune to his charms.
You can call him a bona fide phemonenon, I'm sure he won't mind, except, of course, that "he" doesn't exist. Cee-Lo Green and Danger Mouse, the minds behind the masks, not to mention the wigs, will be ready to step out, so the only question is: which costumes will they wear? And how many of them are there? The buzz is mostly about numbers. Reportedly, up to a dozen people occupy the stage doing God knows what. I think it'll be crowded, both on stage and in front of it.
