Gnarls Barkley = poor man's TV on the Radio?

Or TVOTR = The bastard child of Salvador Dali and Stevie Wonder's (assuming they have the reproductive organs capable of producing offspring and a mutual interest in propagating) Gnarls Barkley?

basically: I am glowing with love for Return to Cookie Mountain, and for some reason felt the need to denigrate Gnarls Barkley...Who else finds '...Cookie Mountain" astounding?

In what universe does this comparison make any fucking sense?

Please to be desisting from posting while drunk.

I hate the internet so much right now.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

I understand the comparison. But both kind of blow dead bears? Gnarls a little less than TVOTR, even, whose sound is so dead and samey that it blows my mind that people are still into them.

So, uh, I was coming here to post how ridiculous this notion is, but, uh, I see that is territory that's been covered...

oh Young Fresh Danny D...the comparison is about as contrived as your title.

ban this dude

if by "poor man's" you mean "blue collar"...

... still no

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

so, posting an intentionally forced thread in support of an unpopular opinion = banning? hmm...then ILM would truly be sinking to new levels of bullshit.

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

CONFORM OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES

I don't think they regard your opinion as 'unpopular', just woefully misguided.

― Space Gourmand (Haberdager), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think "I like TV On The Radio more than Gnarls Barkley" is a particularly controversial position to take on ILM.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

and by neccesity, the position i take should be more controversial?

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

dude, it's not about the how 'controversial' the position you've taken is, it's about the argument you've used to express that position, and whether it seems to make any sense.

― Space Gourmand (Haberdager), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

And your obnoxious schtick.

― struttin' with some barbecue (jimnaseum), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

i mean, i think the Beatles were the band of the 60's. omg uncontroversial opinion ban him now etc etc.

― Space Gourmand (Haberdager), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

granted, i had no solid premises on which to state my argument, i wasn't out to write the book, just offer something, as "woefully misguided" and senseless as it was. doesn't exactly warrant a ban. but anyway...pink floyds "wish you were here" just came on the muzac in the Seattle Westin lounge..taking me far from you all. David Gilmour via horns. Look for that in my next bullshit post.

oh shit...i hope to gain your sensibility, with time.

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think you're misguided or controversial. i just think you're an idiot.

now you know what it's like to be mildly patronised after having said something a little petulant. happened to me. still does. and is probably about to.
