Maybe there are some people out there who can relate to what i am reffering.. I may be losing track sometimes with listening to music or creating such things but at the end of it all I end up sitting here and getting hit by these amazing songs who are like a fucking knife in my heart i can´t pull out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-470387992918024452012-02-23T05:12:17.409-06:002012-02-23T05:12:17.409-06:00I love the music of The White Stripes.

I think I saw the video for "Seven Nation Army" three times a day for ten days in a row. They were probably the last band I got into because of MuchMusic. Another visitor bought me a copy of Spin with a story on the White Stripes in it. Therefore, after my surgery, I was going through a morphine drip withdrawal freak out, and I woke up and saw a hallucination of Jack and Meg at the foot of my bed.<br /><br />When I left the hospital, one of my first orders of business was to grab a copy of "Elephant"!Tyler Pistolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-33590794672781111042011-02-05T10:03:23.492-06:002011-02-05T10:03:23.492-06:00The WS will be missed...

After a while it was impossible to ignore the press they were getting in Mojo. Q, Select, etc. Then someone loaned me a Jeff Beck bootleg to copy that had a bunch of early Beck/Stewart stuff & a set of Beck doing Yardbirds'songs live with the Whites Stripes. It wasn't in the right key for Jack to sing in but it didn't matter as they made it happen and Beck soared obviously having a great time deep in the spirit of good fun and enjoying every moment with The White Stripes. I was a fan thereafter, and have enjoyed Jack & Meg's fairly unique take on Rock 'n'Roll. In fact it seems that everyone and his brother are doing the guitar/drum thing these days. Guess The Flat Duo Jets knew that if Buddy Holly could do it, why not The Black Keys and Cashman?Duncanmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851644219536584126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-47877012946435712552011-02-03T09:41:11.233-06:002011-02-03T09:41:11.233-06:00It was kind of plain that the band was finished wh...It was kind of plain that the band was finished when they cancelled their last tour midway.

I think it's an interesting career retrospective on a band that not only grew from the garage rawk scene but also had a huge effect in generally lifting up the level of the rest of their generation of MTV rawk bands (remember Jet? They had at least one good song, and it was good enough that you'll still see strippers working to it -- a welcome rest stop after a non-stop nekkid girlz playlist of T Pain and Lil' Jon and Lil' Wayne and....)<br /><br />Annnnnyway....thanks!DefChefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-69231880683048332582011-02-02T22:17:10.078-06:002011-02-02T22:17:10.078-06:00Ugh.

I tried very hard to like them but could never get beyond the self-conscious artlessness... they were not true outsiders like Hasil Adkins, The Ledge or the Shaggs & never channeled the raw roots of rock as successfully as the cramps or flat duo jets or Jeff Lee Pierce or Dave Alvin. It's a shame because their side projects showed they were immensely talented & had a great record collection.Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217638196880190435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-41984900673038576112011-02-02T19:13:44.205-06:002011-02-02T19:13:44.205-06:00This is sad news indeed but they leave behind a gr...This is sad news indeed but they leave behind a great body of work, and we'll hear much more from JW in the future.

Chris Thile's bluegrass cover of "Dead Leaves..." is truly fantastic. The Joss Stone version of "Fell In Love With.." on her Soul Sessions was not have bad and done in a completely different genre as well. There's a few others I've heard just can't think of them now.
