Gold Plated Cheese

Everything Danger Mouse touches turns to gold. The most recent CD i’ve been enjoying is Gnarls Barkley / St. Elsewhere (released this month). Gnarls Barkely is the combo of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse. Together they put together a soul/funk/R&B/hip hop/beats extravaganza that can’t really be labeled (and therefor can’t really sell well…).

He is also behind DangerDoom which is a Danger Mouse/MF Doom/Adult Swim mash-up. Yes, you even hear from Space Ghost.

Never before have I tracked down a producer to see what’s hot in music. Everything he’s involved with turns out really great. But enough gushing…

If you haven’t checked out Danger Mouse head to the website to listen to some samples.

Looks like a sweet little laptop. I may be selling my 17inch here shortly!

This weekend was Free Comic Book Day. I think this was the first time in ten years I’ve set foot in a comic book shop. The last time I was collecting comic books Spawn was the hot comic. I think it’s a good idea for the publishers, I got to sample some comics – and enjoyed the experience. I really enjoyed the Simpsons comic (I even bought a Futurama comic!) and I got a Donald Duck comic for my 18 month old.

While I’m geeking out:
