This just in via the New York Times, Danger Mouse has released a brand new album, “Dark Night of the Soul,” with absolutely no music on it. Suck that Thom Yorke! This Yankee just topped your coolness by taking the free music to a whole new level . . . like . . . um . . . cuz he, like, already knew that, like, people weren’t gonna buy the music if it wasn’t free so, like, why even put the music on it . . . man?!
So despite the nonexistent music, you can buy the limited edition brand new album (blank cd) for only $50! Oh, they’ll throw in some David Lynch photos for free, so you’ll have some really cool pics to look at as you don’t listen to it.
Orrrrrrr, you can listen to it for free on NPR. (?!?!!!) Don’t ask me, I don’t know.
In other news, this literal Billy Idol video is hilarious. Well, at least I think it’s hilarious. Hey, it’s free, shut up!
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get the “business” out of the music business. As a business owner, I understand the need for profits and viable products, but the combination of art with profit and loss statements has always left a bad taste in my mouth.
I’ve been checking back periodically. Glad you’re posting again. The article is very interesting, and the video [extremely funny - don't want to reuse your adjective]. I laughed all through it, but especially at the kitchen scene. Thanks for a feel-good moment in a not-so-good day so far.
