REVIEW: SPARKLEHORSE - DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

In limbo for actual label release, see back-story below.



Dark Night of the Soul is written and produced by Danger Mouse and Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) featuring vocal contributions from a vast range of rock artists (The Shins, The Strokes, Neutral Milk Hotel). Initially, the album was to be accompanied by a book of photography by David Lynch, but due to legal issues with EMI the album may never be officially released at all.

DNOTS’ webstore purchases will come with a limited edition book of David Lynch’s photography and a blank CD-R labeled: “For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.” In the meantime, the album can be streamed on NPR or downloaded through torrents. Of course, your friends here at The Funcooker have a clean link ready for you (see below)!!

The Mixtape Circuit: TRV$AM

Fix Your Face Vol. 2—Coachella ‘09 (Download via MediaFire)

Originally released online in exchange for one tweet, here’s the latest mixtape from the DJ+drummer duo of DJ AM and Travis Barker, better known as TRV$AM.

It has been a monster year for the duo after a speedy recovery from last September’s Learjet crash. AM continues to build upon his reputation as of one of the best party rockin’ DJ’s with multiple residencies in LA and Vegas, while developing Activision’s soon to be released DJ Hero. Barker, on the other hand, is on bill for one of the largest summer tours: the Blink 182 Reunion 2009.

If you’ve heard the original installment of Fix Your Face, you’ll be familiar with a couple of the pair’s lines. However, don’t sleep on this mix—it’s a great way to welcome the summer! AM’s signature genre-bending, attention deficit disorder style paired with Travis’ beastly skills blend seamlessly and solidify their place as one of the greatest DJ+drummer duos.

REVIEW: PHOENIX - WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX

Released by Glassnote Records on May 26, 2009

Postscript: As you may have noticed from my previous post, I’m a big fan of Twitter. And since I’m all about short and sweet, I thought I’d employ the 140-character limit to my album reviews.
