Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" became my theme song for a while. I still love this song. It made me feel less crazy than what I was actually feeling. LOL

Crazy I couldn't get out of my head. It still pops into my consciousness at random times during the pay. Maybe it's an exercise in mind control. If it is, it's working!

I guess I am product of the media culture, because I agree with most of it!! The Chili Peppers song "Dani California" was a blow out and a great riff. That song sounded very similar to their older style. Great tune!! The song "Crazy" was a splash of fun....sounding very retro and having very entertaining lyrics. "Steady as She Goes" is a very catch song (I had know idea the White Stripes guy was involved in it-no wonder I like it so much!!!). I am not real big on that style of music, but just the same that one is a favorite of mine of 2006.

Yes, Jack White is one of the leaders of the band, I forget there's another guy in the group who's from another well known band. I actually haven't heard much of the Raconteurs, but that Gnarls Barkley is incredibly infectious....
