Dangermouse: Name is the game
DJ Dangermouse has done it again. An incredible album. Loads of people love it. A lot of people call it “Album of the year”, and you can’t buy it, cos EMI killed it.
Some lawyer, jobsworth, moron, accountant, employee over at EMI obviously believes that if DJ Dangermouse’s creation won’t fit into a legal framework 300 years old (no kiddin, kids. 1709 a.d.!) , then no-one can have it. So Dangermouse did what he did before, and pulled the plug. Anyway, someone “unkown” pushed it up on all sorts of filesharing sites where it happily lives today. Funnily enough, non of the 13 artists working with Dangermouse on it complained out that, which is a well as saying they put it up for download themselves.
Album is hauntingly beautiful and fresh, turn on your fav torrent client and enjoy this Gem. My favourite is track 12, “Grain Augury”, which sends shivers down my spine. The emotion that reverberates through the lead’s voice (who?) is outright haunting!
Both our families
Are to gathering
For cutting the baby out
With my grandmother’s heirloom antler-handled carving knifeThey were under her grand chandelier
Where we altogether have shared holiday dinner
But it was YOUR father that was holding the knife!Yeah, I begged me not to make me tell ya
Yeah, I pleaded with ya
To leave it aloneI told ya, I told you that
You didn’t want to know
What went in my horrible dreamI was peering in through the picture window
It was a heartwarming tableau like a Norman Rockwell painting
Until I zoomed inI was making noises in my sleep
But you wouldn’t believe me when I told ya that I wasn’t with someone
In my dreamCatfish were wriggling in blood and gore in the kitchen sink!
Yeah, I told ya, I told ya, I told you …
You …
