This week on the show, Sonic Youth tears through speakers, ear drums, and traditional notions of songwriting. We've also got a stunning debut from a group of guys with enough keys to break out of prison, What's Up. That infamous never-to-be-released LP Dark Night of the Soul is also on tap.Whatta podcast!The Needle Drop: 06-13-09Subscribe via iTunesPlaylist:Yo La Tengo- "Periodically Double or
Today, I'm shaking it up! There will be no hipster-made soundtracks boasting summer-friendly jams. Nope, today I give you an extra special collab from Danger Mouse and Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse. These two created sultry, multilayered songs and paired them with some of the greatest voices and musicians of our time (Flaming Lips, Jason Lytle, Iggy Pop amongst others). This project also involves living legend David Lynch who provided photography for the included book. The book/cd package is available for ordering at this time, but, due to label bureaucracy, the included cd is blank. Hopefully, everyone will decide to play [...]

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Dark Night of the Soul [Self Released/Unreleased; 2009] Posted by Chris Woodall on 11 June 2009 Links: Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse | Purchase Album The term "dark night of the soul" refers to the stage in a person's spiritual life when they feel alone and life seems dim. It is fitting that Danger Mouse and Linkous (aka Sparklehorse) [...]
(photo: npr.org) There is a fine line between brilliant and baffling, and Danger Mouse , Sparklehorse , and David Lynch appear to be doing the tango all along said line to dazzling effect. Dark Night of the Soul is the ambitious project that sees producer Danger Mouse (Brian Joseph Burton to his mother) pair up with Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse and an army of guest musicians The Flaming Lips, [...]
Τρελές συνεργασίες! Γράφοντας το προηγούμενο post και τις συνεργασίες του Danger Mouse θυμήθηκα και την πλέον απίθανη με αυτήν της Helena Costas . Ναι, ελληνικής καταγωγής και με στίχους τύπου "ένα-δύο-τρία! Πορ-τοκα-λί!" Μιλάμε για βαθύ βρεταννικό φολκ, όχι αλά Nick Drake, αλλά τύπου Pentangle και βάλε. Καλά τι γυρεύει η αλεπού στο παζάρι μετά από Gnarls Barkley και Gorillaz; Κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής του νεοϋορκέζου στο Λονδίνο λόγω Demon Days συναντήθηκαν ,λέει, και σιγά σιγά προχώρησαν αυτή τη παράδοξη συνεργασία που ονόμασαν "The [...]
Όταν ο Brian Burton "Danger Mouse " και ο Mark Linkous "Sparklehorse" συνεργάστηκαν μουσικά, ήρθαν σε επαφή με τον σκηνοθέτη David Lynch προτείνοντας και σ' αυτόν συνεργασία.Το αποτέλεσμα ήταν 50 φωτογραφίες εμπνευσμένες από την ατμόσφαιρα των τραγουδιών, οι οποίες εκτίθενται στην Michael Kohn Gallery σε μια installation. Ο David Lynch με την ευκαιρία έκανε και βιβλίο [...]

It combines a wonderful album-length piece of music by Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and a host of guest vocalists with a collection of original David Lynch photography.

This is perhaps the project of the year. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse have combined forces along with cult (and beloved) director David Lynch in a dark, mystical and alluring album. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse provide the melodies, a set of guest artists the vocals and Davil Lycnh the 100+ page artwork, which will be exhibited in the Michael Kohn Gallery in LA. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - The Man Who Played God (feat. Nina Persson) Amongst the guest vocal in the album you can find James Mercer [...]
MUSIC NEWS - The infamous, now non-release of the Danger Mouse / Sparklehorse music project, DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL, at least now has a gallery show in L.A. of the photographs for the project, taken by director David Lynch along with public playing of the album. Due to legal fights, the album will not be released (at least in the foreseeable future), but is streaming at NPR.com (more on the streaming, here ). Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) won' [...]
What happens when you mix the production of Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse with the visual genius of David Lynch? Well, unless you're a fan of bit torrent you'll probably never know. An audio/visual collaboration between the three masterminds (with a host of music guests: Flaming Lips, Shins, Julian Casablancas, Jason Lytle etc...) is sitting on the shelf at EMI caught up in "licensing issues," and will almost certainly never see the light of day. Because the project incorporated a 100 page hardback book of photos by David Lynch, the book and a blank CD-R (to put the stolen [...]
Whenever the moon is just right, the Vague Panther picks his favorite mp3s from the web to bring you the "In the Know" series. If you've got a tip that might pique his interest email him at vaguepanther(at)strangerdance. com. Crystal Stilts is described as "Suicide-ish 50s buzz twang and a dash of 80s jangle," which really just means they're Brooklyn poppers with a weird vibe I'm jealous of. Their Alight of Night LP from last year [...]

ZACH THAT: Too many geniuses in one room. Still not sold on this "Dark Night Of The Soul" project. We shall see.
Maybe you've heard this, maybe you haven't, but über-hip producer Danger Mouse has recently told his record label to fuck off . In what's being described as an "on-going legal dispute" between industry dinosaur EMI and DM, Dark Night of the Soul will not be put out by the label, despite its online availability and its impressive supporting cast. The highly successful DJ/beatmaker-in cahoots with Sparklehorse (Mark Linkous) and outlandish overlord of the bizarre and preeminent auteur David Lynch -has opted to "release" his [...]
Though he's been out of state for a while now, Danger Mouse has kept his Georgia roots well… um, watered? Sure, that works. The prolific producer's newest project has been long in the works, but the collaboration between him and ecstatic songcrafter Mark Linkous - Sparklehorse to the rest of y'all - seems to be [...]
