According to Billboard.com, the dynamic duo Gnarls Barkley’s sophomore album is near completion. Even though there is no release date, title or additional information about the upcoming release, Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green have revealed that the process is nearly complete.
“I’m hoping that I don’t fall out of grace with whatever I’ve done to deserve this to pass through me,” Cee-Lo told Billboard last summer. “So I become concerned with it in that right. It’s not something I want to get in every publication and explain. Music is a natural mystic,” he continued. “This is not something that we contrived.

After the most confrontational week of the presidential campaign so far, Sen. Barack Obama proved he could draw voters across racial lines even in a Southern state with his win in South Carolina on Saturday.
Fifty-five percent of the vote went to Obama, while Sen. Hillary Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards earned 27 and 18 percent, respectively.
In his victory speech, Obama said that the fight for South Carolina had not only produced a personal victory but also progress over the divisive politics of the past.
Although Edwards was born in South Carolina and won the state in his 2004 presidential bid, he seemed like a fading force on Saturday. He did win decisively among one group — white males — and vowed to go on after four consecutive losses.
