I cant believe the news today. I cant close my eyes and make it go away.

I spent the latter part of my teens and the early parts of my 20s loving Danger Mouse.

His “Grey Album” was brilliant both in concept and delivery, and Gnarls Barkley was pretty fun. He also did the second Gorillaz album, and his Adult Swim-themed record he did with MF Doom was off the charts.

However, I almost cried when I heard about his new production project: U2.

First and foremost, U2 needs to hang it up as soon as possible. They will make another half-hearted attempt at relevance, releasing what they call a “club record.” Still haven’t thrown up yet? Collaborators Will.i.am and RedOne (the person you’ve never heard of that writes Lady Gaga’s songs) are going to make this record a nightmare.

Why would Danger Mouse do this? Does he still owe Jay-Z money over the “Grey Album?”

Danger Mouse, you had me as a fan, and you broke my heart. U2, you never had me as a fan, but it breaks my heart that you still think people care about your dinosaur rock.

How long, how long must I sing this song?
