Danger Mouse

Its time to mix things up...I've been listening to roots reggae (along with some other stuff) for awhile and its time for something different. I bumped into a guy named Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and was impressed with the variety of music he has been involved with. This includes:

• Gorrilaz - (he helped produce an album)
• Gnarls Barkley - (he was in that group)
• The Roots - (he collaborated with Black Thought)
• The Black Keys - (he helped produce an album)

....then he decides to collaborate with Daniele Luppi, an Italian composer, to create an album called Rome.
 He used the music from Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns (including Clint Eastwood's "Fist Full Of Dollars") as an inspiration. He went as far as using some of the original performers who recorded the music for the early Clint Eastwood films. He also used the lead singer of the White Stripes for vocals. Follow this link to hear one of the popular songs from this album.


I heard he is now working on an album with U2. Danger Mouse seems all over the place... I like that. Follow this link for more on Danger Mouse.
