Danger Mouse ft Iggy Pop - "Pain" (Dark Night of the Soul)

Dark, fast, angry song.

Daniele Luppi & Danger Mouse - "Rome"

with Norah Jones and Jack White.

"American producer Danger Mouse and the Italian film composer Daniele Luppi released in 2011 a spaghetti western-inspired album titled Rome with vocals by Jack White and Norah Jones. It was recorded during sporadic sessions over a five-year period at Rome’s Forum Studios and was inspired by the film soundtrack work of Ennio Morricone. The instrumentation was done mainly by musicians who played on the original Ennio Morricone scores."

It's already amazing!

The instrumental parts are indeed very Morricone-ish. Love "The Rose with the Broken Neck" with Jack White on vocals. Less interested in Norah Jones' "Black"

Danger Mouse ft. Sparklehorse - "Dark night of the soul" - cont'd

Just reread previous post about it, but I have to revise. What was I doing when I wrote that, and where was I?

Working on an October night, it absolutely captivates me. True enough, not every song, but the title track, and "Pain" featuring Iggy Pop... yes, those do, those absolutely do.

Have been listening to DJ Shadow today while writing "poste restante". Might have something to do with it.

(Ok, that "Jaykubb" with a certain Jason Lyttle... don't like it)

Or the catchy "Little Girl" (you / twisted little girl), feat. Julian Casablancas. "Grain Augury" feat Vic Chestnutt... but now I can't remember why he sounds so familiar. ("famous" singer-songwriter, spotted by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe... uh, ok. Still, I do know the guy's name)

Danger Mouse ft. Sparklehorse - "Dark night of the soul"

From Wikipedia:

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse were due to release an album in the summer of 2009 entitled Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul (together with a 100+ photo book with photographs by David Lynch). Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI the album will not be released commercially. However, the BBC reported that Danger Mouse plans to release a full illustrated jewel case with a blank CD-R included in it. The CD-R will be labeled: For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.

Really liked the concept, but the music couldn't interest me.
