Goodie Mob/Gnarls Barkley singer, songwriter, rapper, producer extraordinaire, Cee-Lo Green has another hit on his hands. His soulful “Fuck You” is a middle-finger shout-out to his ex-girl and her new beau, and while you may think it’s gonna be an angry dis, this song is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you feel better about your day…you’re gonna wanna play it over and over until you get sick of it or until it makes you go ”Crazy”…
The single dropped on YouTube a little over a week ago and has gone mega-viral (but something tells me this is gonna need a radio edit if it’s ever gonna hit the airwaves). The new album, The Lady Killer is scheduled for release on 12/7/2010. You can download the single here…
9/1/2010 UPDATE: Cee-Lo just dropped the official vid today:

Björk has released the title song for the new Moomins (Finnish cartoon characters created by Tove Jansson described as “a family of trolls who are white and roundish, with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses”) movie “Moomins and the Comet Chase.”
The song is available today on iTunes; all the funds generated by the track will be donated to UNICEF Pakistan childrens’ charities…hmmm, a little creepy/apocalyptic for a kid-flick but a good cause, so BUY IT…and who better than Björk to help make creepy, cool?!
Indie folk/pop’s Sufjan Stevens (pronounced ‘SOOF-yahn”) released an eight-song, 60-minute EP [yeah, that's what I said: eight songs, sixty (six-zero) minutes!] for digital download. All Delighted People is available today on iTunes and Amazon, but you can grab it here for $5!
Sufjan’s website describes the EP as “built around two different versions of Sufjan’s long-form epic ballad “All Delighted People,” a dramatic homage to the Apocalypse, existential ennui, and Paul Simon’s “Sounds of Silence.” Sounds delightful, yes! The song was originally workshopped (oh we hate making workshop a verb, but time is money!) on Sufjan’s previous tour in the fall of 2009. Other songs on the EP include the 17-minute guitar jam-for-single-mothers “Djohariah,” and the gothic piano ballad “The Owl and the Tanager,” a live-show mainstay (and Debbie Downer if you ask us; what’s it doing on a “Delighted” EP?).”
Sufjan will perform at The Paramount Theatre in Oakland on 10/26/2010…
Okay kidz, MizMuze and friendz are heading to the Ta-hoe Nalu today so the SOTD post is a shorty…
