Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing reports:
EMI has told Danger Mouse that his latest CD won’t see the light of day due to “legal issues,” so he’s responding by releasing the disc as a blank CD-R in a jewel case with art and liner notes. Fans can just download the music off a P2P site and burn it to the CD-R.

“Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night of the Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music, by whatever means, are as excited by it as he is.” Continue Reading at Boing Boing

“Wild Horses” was first released by Gram Parsons’ Flying Burrito Brothers in 1970. The song was written in 1969 by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, but they waited to release it in 1971 on the Sticky Fingers album.

“I played a divorcee in New York City [Somewhere In Dallas],
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind. “

“It’s quite possible that I’m your third man girl
But it’s a fact that I’m the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I’m done
Let’s have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it”

When I was putting together my Sunday Blues post two weeks ago, I ran across The White Stripes’ version of Robert Johnson’s “Stop Breakin Down Blues”. Which in turn led me to his scorching cover of Son House’s “Death Letter“. Continuing on the Jack White discovery trail, I found tracks from his side project, The Upholsterers. It’s amazing what you find buried in your iTunes library.

The band was comprised of Jack White and Brian Muldoon. They released the three songs listed below on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label in 2000; they only pressed 100 copies.

Your organs working perfectly, but there’s a part that’s not screwed on.

Memo From Turner was recorded by the Rolling Stones on November 17, 1968. The song was released in 1975 on the Metamorphosis album. The version on the Performance movie soundtrack was recorded earlier by Mick and has slightly different lyrics.
