In Gnarls Barkley news, Danger Mouse is set to work with acclaimed producer/songwriter Van Dyke Parks and John Cale on a forthcoming album, so maybe the next Cee-Lo single will feature beats by Mo Tucker and Joanna Newsom? You know he's totally got the same taste in hats. [NME]

Cee-Lo Green (Should Be) Your Next American Idol


Many people watching American Idol last night seemed to have the same revelation about contestant Jeffery Lampkin simultaneously; to quote reader StuntKockSteeev, that Mr. Lampkin "answers the age old question: just how would Cee-Lo act if he was possessed by the spirit of Luther Vandross." (Good looking out on the Luther part of the equation.) Hence we can only hope that if Mr. Lampkin wins the evil Idol braintrust will allow him to make a video as batshit insane as this one. You know he's got in him. [YouTube]

Leak Of The Week Day: Amerie's "Control" Issues

Discobelle has the new Amerie track, "Take Control," produced by Cee-Lo. Since Amerie's "1 Thing" will go down as one of the greatest singles of the '00s—if not of all time—we were a little disappointed that "Control" finds her veering into Beyonce territory. It's not a bad track, mind you (the looping guitar squiggle is fantastic), but after listening to "1 Thing" over and over again for the past year and a half, we were expecting something revelatory. Judge for yourself: More »
