Dark Night of the Soul

...is the new album you can't buy for love nor money by Dangermouse and Sparklehorse, shelved in their infinite wisdom by EMI (probably 'cos the guestlist on this one is too expensive to license) but available for FREE download HERE on rfsMojofilter. You CAN buy the packaging for this which is a photobook by David Lynch and a blank cd to "use as you will" HERE but HEY, what's REALLY goin on here? - "official" story HERE...
...we all know Dangermouse burst on to the scene with the greatest rock n roll crime of the century, a cute and clever mashup of the litigious beatles and omnipresent jay-z, the GREY album available HERE, which led to both big dollar jobs for the Gorillaz and scientologist Beck and undoubtably helped sales of his many solo and collaboratory projects, and now we're supposed to believe the man's best album since his first (it Is that good) Is NOT gonna get an official release... but don't fret boys and girls 'cos radio station NPR is conveniently streaming the whole 13 tracks in their entirety HERE, and you can download it virtually anywhere by now via a viral marketing campaign that LOOKS like piracy but feels a little sleazy...sounds like a whole load of hocus pocus to sell a fifty dollar photobook or a ten dollar poster (with blank cd lest we forget).
Having got that off my chest, let me just repeat, this album is GOOD, not good like in gnarls barkley good, but good as in may actually be GREAT...just LOOK at this rolecall - Wayne Coyne - Gruff Rhys - Julian Casablancas - Black Francis - Iggy Pop - Nina Persson - VIC CHESNUTT fer chrissakes!...
...download it rip it stream it buy the book buy the poster see the installation smell the glove whatever...
