I put these all over the closet door in my bedroom. My mom and dad weren't pleased.

Last week I pointed to an NPR stream of a new collaborative album by director David Lynch, producer Danger Mouse and the band Sparklehorse. Titled, Dark Knight of the Soul, the record also features contributions from The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, Iggy Pop, Frank Black, The Shins’ James Mercer, Super Furry Animals’ lead singer Gruff Rhys, ex-Granddaddy principle Jason Lytle, The Cardigans’ Nina Persson, and singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt.

And it's not coming out any time soon, reports Billboard.

Due to unspecified legal issues with EMI, though, the project’s official release has been either scrapped altogether or put on indefinite hiatus. ...Filmmaker David Lynch provided a book of still photos with which the CD was to be packaged. The book is still slated for release, but a blank CDR will be inserted instead of the actual album.

I'm sure if you Google around, you can probably find the music to burn to that CDR. You also can still hear the stream here.



I like it.
