    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.
