The 11 Best Albums by Danger Mouse

I love Netflix.  As all of you know, I love making lists.  Netflix allows me to make a list of all the movies I want to see.  And then sends them to me in the mail to watch for as long as I want.  What could be bad about that?  Well…I’ll tell you…it’s everything if you’re Warner Bros. 
 
Warner Bros just struck a deal with Netflix to delay all WB titles for 28 days before making them available to rent.  This has to be one of the most ass-backwards business decision I’ve ever heard.  Supposedly, this is being done in an effort to influence people to buy more DVDs.  How?  People on Netflix are renting movies…because they don’t want to buy them.  And most of the time…probably 99.9% of the time…people are renting movies they’ve never seen.  People don’t buy movies they’ve never seen.  And if I didn’t bother to go see a movie in the theater…I’m not going to spend MORE money on a DVD for a weaker movie-going experience.  Seriously, get your heads out of your asses. 
 
It’s not like Warner Bros has been shitting out golden turds either.  The Box got terrible reviews and tanked.  You’re right…that just screams…”Buy me, buy me.”
 
It always boggles my mind how big corps are so resistant technological advances.  Don’t they know by now…it’s those who embrace the future are the ones who last to exist in the future?

The 11 Best Albums of 2009: 12-22 (Part 4)

I’ve noticed that my excitement for new releases is much lower than it used to be. When a new Pearl Jam album came out…I lined up at midnight at Tower Records just to be the first to buy it. I still go buy albums the day they come out…but it’s usually a Tuesday ritual rather than a special treat. But this year…there were a few albums that got my juices going. The 4 unreleased Beck albums were quite nice since they were unavailable in a store. But these were given away for free. So, as cool as they were…anyone could get them. But there was another unreleased album that I got fanatic over. That would be the Sparklehorse/DangerMouse album…why? Because it was never available anywhere. Not to download. Not to buy. Getting a copy wasn’t just exciting…it was like a treasure hunt. For those few days while I tracked down each song, I was excited over a new release since…as I had been when waiting in line at midnight.

 
New month means new $5 albums. Check out the store for the new Lady Gaga, 50 Cent, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alec Ounsworth, Major Lazer, new Green Day, Wale, Dodos, My Morning Jacket, and a buttload of Christmas albums.
