Gloryosky, this is one of the weirder projects to ever travel down the pike that I might actually be interested in! Master Thespian John Malkovich has once more blurred the lines between John Malkovich the actor and John Horatio Malkovich – the puppeteer. Due for release on November 27th for Black Friday; the American high holy day of tribute to the god of Capitalism, is the album “Like A Puppet Show.” Wherein John Malkovich and Sandro, who have been responsible for this amazing series of photographs, break their way into the world of records and music with collaborator Eric Alexanderakis.

What they have done was record John Malkovich narrating Plato’s Allegory of the Cave with music accompaniment by Alexanderkis. Then they have added a dozen X-factors to the project. They have sent the result to be mixed by a dozen artists; from Yoko Ono to Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. So of course, that got the Aztec Energy Dome vibrating. The resulting album is attaining physical release only as a 2xLP picture-disc, with packaging and photographs by Sandro on November 27th, at participating Black Friday record stores. Generally, the same ones who buy into Record Store Day. The DL version will follow shortly in December. What might this sound like? Well, here’s a glimpse, courtesy of The Cars Ric Ocasek:

Your mileage may vary.
