Behind Danger Mouse’s “Dark Night of the Soul” With Linkous and Lynch

When Dark Night of the Soul, Danger Mouse’s collaboration with Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous and filmmaker David Lynch, came out, the limited-edition set famously included a CD-R due to a copyright disagreement between the producer (born Brian Burton) and EMI. Burton spoke out about the making of the project in a recent interview with the Smoking Section’s Austin Scaggs — read the full story here:

Just War is not the opening track. It’s the second one.

“Danger Mouse is a brilliant, talented artist … We continue to make every effort to resolve this situation and we are talking to Brian directly. Meanwhile, we need to reserve our rights.”

What rights do EMI have? According to the article, they didn’t invest a single dime in the Dark Night project, all of the financing came straight from Danger Mouse’s pockets. And now they have the nerve to get in the way of the album’s release? Thank God for the internet, at least people can still hear the album, even though Danger can’t be able to make any profits from it, unfortunately. I hope he can get out of his contract with EMI, this case further proves how record labels are run by a-holes. And that is why they’re falling apart. Pretty soon those same record execs who blocked the release of Danger’s album will be begging him for a job when they’ll have nowhere to go and no job to support their lifestyles. Karma is a bitch.
