| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

...you don't know what you're missing.
The group consists of the outrageous Cee-Lo...
...(formerly of seminal Dirty South group, Goodie Mob, as well as his own solo works)...
...arguably one of the greatest deejays/producers in the world---the genius behind, among other things, that extraordinary, critically-acclaimed (illegal, but downloaded to death) project, The Grey Album...
...which combined Jay-Z's vocals from The Black Album with music from the Beatles' White Album.
Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse's collaborative effort, an album entitled St. Elsewhere...
...including the monster internet hit, " Crazy," is bananas. I'm talking stupidfantastic.
Per BallerStatus.net:The duo are prepping the release of their widely talked about project called Gnarls Barkley, which has already made history in the UK by hitting #1 solely off internet downloads and they hope to make the same kind of impact in the U.S. Y'all know I like to share good music whenever I get the chance. This one is hot to death. "Crazy" is so damn infectious, I can't stop listening to it.
Click HERE to go to their Myspace page to hear the song. It will begin to play the moment you get to the site. Or just watch the video below. I've been blazing this song for the past two weeks. Cee-Lo's voice is in tip-top form and the beat is the hotness, so driving and intense, it's irresistible.

Thanks for the love, Cookie Monster. I'm loving this song the more I hear it, which seems to be several times every day. It's also getting major play on the VH1 Soul channel.
