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!
Got something to say?

It seems to be a rights issue. There’s no music on the CD because EMI is in some sort of undefined conflict with Brian Burton. The concept is a, well, concept, right? The album sounds pretty f-ing good on the NPR stream. Dig it.
