I'm making a habit of posting, now...
The new Gnarl's Barkley album has some fun lyrics:
Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need, I want nothing to do with.
And to do what I want and to do what I please is first on my to-do list. ("Going On")
Did you know I could be a would-be killer?
If suddenly I should be, I would be killer. ("Would Be Killer")
I just wanted ya’ll to know that I don’t know it all,
So when that big ole smile ends up being just a disguise, don’t be surprised. ("Surprise")
Sadly, there are no tracks on this album (The Odd Couple) that grab me like "Crazy" or "Who Cares?" or "Transformer" did from St. Elsewhere. "Surprise" is probably the one that I'll really take away from this album. I wish there were a few more, though.
It's absolutely a fine and dandy album - I just very much look for "hooks" in music that pull me in and keep me, and I think "Surprise" would be the only track to do it. After St. Elsewhere, I was hoping for more.
Chuck's Unrelated Fun Fact of the Day: There are actually (at least) three popes, the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church (the one we are usually familiar with), the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria and the Pope of the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria. There are probably a bunch more I'm mostly unfamiliar with spread around the Eastern Orthodox Church, too. But seriously - three popes!
