the interview show: The Raveonettes!
The Raveonettes make beautiful music, indelibly marked by darkness. They would probably be a much bigger band, if they “sold out” and wrote bubblegum lyrics to match their haunting melodies.
I like to think of them as a long lost soundtrack to a David Lynch project.
The Raveonettes on the interview show This is my chat with Sune Rose Wagner (the guy in the band). I don’t know if the Danes are known for being succinct and frank, but Sune certainly is both.
The Raveonettes “Last Dance” A beautiful song about a relationship with a drug addict. See what I mean about an undeniable edge?
The Raveonettes “My Boyfriend’s Back” (The Angels cover) This cover was done for a video game, but Sune and Sharin Foo would much rather make their own stuff.

What’s Beef?
okokokokokok so…..
Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous and Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley fame have co-labbed on a crazy lil album called, Dark Night of The Soul. The album was to be sold with a coffee table book of similarly dark David Lynch photographs (who’s singing talents are also featured in two of the songs).
Somewhere along the line, EMI who was behind the project, decided to pull the plug on it.
The production team decided to pull a little stunt and the book has ended up for sale through, Dnots.com and includes a blank cd-r in place of the album with the message ‘For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will,’. *Which I think is a hint that you should download it? The book has subsequently sold out.
Apparently this all has something to do with an ongoing dispute between Danger Mouse and EMI which dates back to DM’s Beatles/Jay-Z mash up, the Grey Album which contained uncleared use of the Beatles catalog which EMI owns. The album was responsible for launching Danger Mouse from bedroom producer to superstar, overnight.
The album includes an all star cast of contributors, everyone from Nina Persson of the Cranberries, Iggy Pop, Wayne Coyne, of the Flaming Lips, Black Francis of the Pixies, James Mercer of the Shins (I can go on, but I won’t).
The album has **somehow** managed to survive and make it out to the good ole world wide web.
The stand out track to me, is this here little ditty by Julian Casablancas of the Strokes. While there are some misses on the album it is definitely worth a listen. I give it a 7 winnies out of 10 rating. They are streaming it over at Dnots.com.
