I have it but haven't had a chance to play much of it yet. The new
Danger Mouse & Jemini 26" ep is pretty dope tho'.
but if you're interested in the Grey Album check this out from another
msg list:
GreyTuesday is an effort to protest EMI's crackdown on DJ
Danger Mouse's amazing Grey Album.
Tuesday, February 24 will be a day of coordinated civil
disobedience: websites will post Danger Mouse's Grey Album
on their site for 24 hours in protest of EMI's attempts to censor
this work.
