I just got back from watching Italia beat Francia 2-0 in a Euro 2008 match. When I was in Roma, I fell for the game they call futbol. I used to be a causal fan but after watching how the Europeans play futbol, I am hooked por vida. I watched the game at my buddy Derrick's place. He just got this big screen TV. At times it felt like the soccer ball was going to fall into his living room. During the game Derrick mentioned something music related to me. "You hear that chan... MORE
I have a monster crush, which means that I am feeling a little in love right now (or a lot in like, at least) — in that fun one-sided way that I enjoy. When I feel this way, it makes everything sound a little better and more romantic, including songs. And so I present "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me), which may be some old last-ditch effort by Jack White to get Renee Zellweger back (Is that true? I feel like I read it somewhere once), but more than that, it's totally a ... MORE
The White Stripes have no doubt contributed to the fashion world with their red-black, red-red, black-red, red-white, white-red, black-white, and red-black-white ensembles. "They are the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner," Jack White said of the color combo in 2006 Rolling Stone article. "Those colors strike chords with people. In Japan they're honorable colors. When you see a bride in a white gown you immediately see innoce... MORE
Well, Americans, what, nothing better to do?
Why don't you throw yourselves out
You're an immigrant too
Who's folling who, what should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp
and a prostitute, too.
White Stripes, one thump out, hopefully many more to come.
The MP3 of "Icky Thump," the first single from the White Stripes album also named "Icky Thump". The track is taken from an XFM session, the sound quality is pretty good. It's got some annoying DJ chatter but at least we get to hear it.
Listen here:
If the mp3 is playing chipmonk style... sorry, listen here instead: http://cache.idolator.com/assets/resources/mp3/thump.mp3
The White Stripes revealed the titles of the 13 songs that will appear on their upcoming album, Icky Thump, which will be released in June; the album will be the group’s first for Warner Bros. CMJ.com got an advance listen to the album. They report that the 13-track album is 48 minutes long and describe it as “ultimately straightforward,” whatever that means. The album includes bagpipes on at least one track. CMY describes the album’s second track, "You Don't Know What L... MORE
SPICE GIRLS TO REUNITERumors about a Spice Girls reunion seem to pop up every week. But if the latest from Posh Spice, a.k.a. Victoria Beckham, is any indication, fans will finally see the girl group together again. Speaking to the press at an awards ceremony in the U.K. last night, Posh said, "We'll see what turns out, but between you and me, I'm really hopeful that it definitely will happen." Stay tuned to Rock Daily for the latest on the Spice Girls and other reunions i... MORE
Who remembers when Icky Thump (album) was leaking and a song here and there would pop out....but, Web Sheriff would have it knocked down immediately? You may have seen Web Sheriff's emails on other blogs where the owners would mostly comply. Not Pirate Bay though...they came up with some funny responses. Go here: http://thepiratebay.org/legalAnd scroll down to: White Stripes / WEB SHERIFF You might get a laugh out of it. For those of you who don't know what Pirate Ba... MORE
So finally a radio rip slips out there...
I'd have to give Jack thumbs up on this one. It is brilliant.
I heard the new White Stripe's song Icky Thump the other day and was surprised to find that I like it! I'm not a fan of their other songs like Doorbell and or Seven Nation Army but this song really caught my attention! Partly because there's bagpipes on it! Well I read it's actually a keyboard effect (boo!) rather than bagpipes...but I did read that Jack was wanting to feature bagpipes on the album. I think it's about time someone used the bagpipes in a "cool" way inst... MORE
this 40 second white stripes deal as "meadow" says "is such bullshit" as much as I love the music they do...I mean...really..John cage is not the...rock we all want...i want not as SNL termed it"bad conceptual art".
So I haven't been on here in a while. My hard drive died a while ago. At any rate I'm back with my music collection rebuilt from various locations. Expect more random crap from me.
Also, have a great 2007! Viva MOG!!
