The White Stripes

[strawberrycake]

Ahem! ^

Is listening...tis good.

You know this is something I greatly appreciate about the stripes as well. I think in this regard Jack is a folk musician, recycling, interpolating, and carrying on a tradition that was global and has been forever. To me, public domain songs are the best kind. Refined like wine over centuries of time, you don't get better than Wayfaring Stranger, House of the Rising Sun, or in Jacks case "one more cup of coffee" and "St. James Infirmary Blues"

I'm hoping they cover Tom Wait's "I don't want to grow up" or Neil Young's "After the gold rush"

Ban this idiot as well. That made me laugh ^




His post in the Fall review pissed me to begin with and now the Stripes thread...all his posts need deleting, every one a waste of space.

lol, why in the name of hell would that by a 3?

Are you from Detroit?

There first seems to stand as their weakest release to me, and the least Stripey of them all. That album was like the rough sketches of what the stripes were to become. I mean they still had some surf-influenced things which must have been left over from the Go, and so I think that album was more Jack White, than White Stripes.

i like the white stripes but the drummer sucks she does the same beat and doesnt add anything from what i get

[neo198717]

I hope so

Conquest should have been the opening album track! That intro...

On first listen, 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpoor Blues is the outstanding track for me.

First impressions?...

Edit: Jesus Christ on a bike!...'A Martyr For My Love For You', has just hit me hard...strikes a personal chord.
The lyrics, the mooRAB that song evokes. Calm/manic. This song makes me nervous.

God I love this band.

End of enthusing.
