Charles On Gnarls

Via Philly.com:

Charles Barkley says he's "flattered and honored" to be the namesake of Gnarls Barkley, the hip-hop/rock duo comprising Danger Mouseand Cee-Lo. The Round Mound of Rebound says he has their CD St. Elsewhere, and "it's pretty good, an interesting mix of rock and rap."

Despite the obvious homage to Barkley in the band's name, a Chuck Klosterman story in Sunday's New York Times Magazine says the duo just thought the name sounded cool (which it certainly does) and aren't necessarily huge basketball fans.

We've got a Klosterman contest coming up, for all you "readers."

It's a good thing GBarkley decided to 'pull' their song Crazy. I just read in the Sunday paper TV Guide section that Paris Hilton's cd was postponed from a summer release to fall release as she is trying to get clearance to do a cover of Crazy for her record. Gag!
