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)

Sparklehorse - "it's a wonderful life"

Soft slow singing, sadness in the lazy changes of melody.

A piano finds its way across the heartbeat.

An angry track, a growling rhythm.

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.
