The Story of Danger Mouse

Music journalist Chuck Klosterman does a thorough and illuminating (and, for Klosterman, relatively humorless) profile of Danger Mouse, a.k.a. Brian Burton, one-half of Gnarls Barkley in today's New York Times Magazine. The mystery behind the name Gnarls Barkley is explained in the storty, as is the genesis behind Danger Mouse's "Grey Album." An interesting, cheeky quirk of the Gnarls Barkley duo, which include singer Cee-Lo, is that they will only allow themselves to be photographed while dressed in costumers of characters from movies, such as the Pink Panther, Superman or the Wizard of Oz. That's a cool little branding gimmick..
