Today's Quick Mention:  Tonight I get to see Christopher Nolan's Inception, and I am what could easily be described as more than excited.  Be sure to check the film section around midnight or so for what I expect to be a glowing and overly positive breakdown (spoiler free, of course).

Ever since they announced an EP, I've been meaning to seek out and listen to what the Dirty Projectors and Bjork managed to create together.  So, this weekend I did just that.  I don't know if I actually really like it or just think it's neat to experience such abstract artists in cohorts with each other, but Mount Wittenberg Orca is at least interesting.  Enjoy.

:Dirty Projectors And Bjork - When The World Comes To An End:  I wouldn't go as far as saying Bjork came in and made the Dirty Projectors weirder or more experimental, but her presence alone definitely gives them a different, more dramatic edge.  Does that make it all a bit too much?  Maybe.  But it's also surprisingly infectious, so you'll probably be wrapped up in it before you feel overwhelmed by all the ideas, sounds and vocal layers.
