Danger Mouse Releases Blank CD-R To Spite EMI

Posted by Soulskill on from the vengeful-rodents dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DJ Danger Mouse famously fought with EMI over his Beatles/Jay-Z mashup, 'The Grey Album,' and now seems to be battling with the label again. Rather than release his latest album and face legal issues with EMI, Techdirt is reporting that Danger Mouse will be selling a blank CD-R along with lots of artwork, and buyers will be responsible for finding the music themselves (yes, it's findable on the internet) and burning the CD."

    In response to your .sig I would like to point out that "I could care less" implies that one is already struggling to care to the degree at which they do. Emphasizing that you should be lucky that they're concerned at all.

    At least, that's the way I interpret it so it doesn't bug the Hell out of me. To each their own.

    In response to your .sig (I'm an agnostic, don't get touchy) I would like to point out that in principle "Thou shalt not kill" is a good idea. I also freely admit that that is far outweighed by the bad stuff that came from religion.

    hey - if you don't mind me asking: what kind of music do you actually listen to / enjoy, anyway?

    Old git music.

    Megadeth, Slayer, Voivod, Primus, Les Claypool, REM, Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan, Mastodon, Budgie, Dillinger Escape Plan, Parliament, Black Sabbath (Ozzy era), Ozzy (Randy era), Tori Amos, Yes, Pink Floyd, Police, B-52s, Metallica (pre-Black album), Testament, Bach, Alice in Chains... I have dipped my toe into the wonderful world of Bohlen-Pierce music. This dude called Charles Carpenter did a couple of records called Splat and Frog a la Peche.

    Mrs Turgid listens to some other stuff that I can't stand, but most of our tastes share a lot in common. She likes (such dreadful nonsense as) the Cranberries, Muse and New Order. New Order are OK live (saw them in 2001) but their recorded stuff is appalling. The production is terrible.
