In her absence, we're making as much sense as a bag of hammers. Clifton's letting loose tears of poesy, Buddha's revealing the mysteries of the JA–Vinci Code while "being played" by both Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson, and I'm pee–ing pure gold.

If you like (or even if you don't like) the album version of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," try this slow live jam.
