The Agony and the Ecstasy

By Izzy

As discussed in the previous post, Izzy was put into a deep funk upon surveying the current state of men’s formal wear.

His mood has just taken a 180-degree turn, however, for he just discovered a music group called Gnarls Barkley, and, as the kids say, they are friggin’ awesome. And Izzy does not rave lightly.

You can hear their unique sound, which, for lack of a better term, could called modern soul, here. An even better, live version of their single “Crazy” can be viewed here. Although their album has not yet been released in the States, you can pre-order it at Amazon.com.

You can thank Izzy by not wearing a tie with a tuxedo.
