Grab Bag

Not much to say with this update, but wanted to share a few more great songs with you all. First, we've got Gnarls Barkley from the new album The Odd Couple, which I think is as varied in quality as their first album. This track, however, stands out to me:

Gnarls Barkley - A Little Better



Next is a track I first heard in a club in downtown Jax. This version, however, has a bit more bite and a great bridge which sent the dancefloor into a frenzy, despite its shortness. From the Brazilian group CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy, or 'Tired of being sexy'):

CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above



Finally, for Cas - a song from Queens of The Stone Age's last album Era Vulgaris which, to me, continues to draw parallels to Jack Bruce and Cream. I mean, I've heard the similarities before, but damn this sounds like they hired Bruce to sing on this track. Cream was always known to have at least one tongue-in-cheek song on their early albums, typically full of that trademark British wit. This fits that mold, I feel. I mean, you tell me: does Josh Homme's falsetto and phrasing sound just like Jack or not?

Queens of The Stone Age - I'm Designer
