New White Stripes
Only a day early but a day early none-the-less - I am listening to "Get Behind Me Satan" by the White Stripes (well before I buy it tomorrow I guess) - anyway it's so fuckin good, just like everything they do - unfortunately I feel greasy listening to them now - - I don't know why - - and to be honest I really don't care this is pretty different from their other stuff and I like that they recorded it 2 weeks ago and are releasing it now - - that's so fucking hot to me.
This has a good bit of blue grass, pop, country and starnge synth death. The title track Blue Orchid won't do too well in my opinion because it's about 6 months ahead of it's time in sound - but it's real solid if you haven't heard it. "Little Ghost" is a cute choir type song that makes you smile. "I'm lonley (but I ain't that lonely yet" is exactly what you think it is. Jack's voice doesn't quite hold it down on a piano with out the guitar. I would have loved to hear Meg sing that one. Red Rain while playing the spoons with the slide guitar is cute and all - I mean - just get to rockin without sounding like Rush - but hell a little Rush isn't that bad. (Just a little though) Take, Take, Take is my track. And what's with the Ben Fold's on The Denial Twist - best Jack vocals though - - - White Moon White Moon is also a hot track.
I mean overall there is a lot of Piano and maraccas. It's their most experimental album to date as far as the instruments but - let's hope they spend another 2 weeks recording another album and then release that by the end of August.
I'd upload it but I am very anti-music mp3. Not because of what they satnd for because it's stealing or anything - I'm against it because music should be intimate and a sacrifice of some sort. There should be something romantic about buying cds - there should be some sort of prejudice involved when selecting your music - - if you just bombard yourself with everything all the time then all you become is a sponge for too much - you'll never fall in love with a band - you'll just be a whore.
