I'm from Detroit and I saw the White Stripes a few times in their earlier stages. My hubby is really into the local bands and he had their first record on vinyl so I listened to it and i was blown away.At first I kind of laughed at her drumming but the songs were captivating,really rough sounding yet mesmerizing."Screwdriver" is a friggin awesome song and "cannon" is pretty badass too.
I have a good memory of New Year's Eve I think five years ago at the Magic Stick in Detroit.The Stripes were there and the Von Bondies (one of their first shows,I think) and if I remember right the Detroit Cobras(kick ass cover band)
I really loved the Von Bondies first album and i thought they'd be big after the Stripes broke but the second album was kinda weak. Oh well.
My husband has some rare 45's of theirs(early ones) and I still pull em out from time to time and give em a listen.
"This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence" - The Young Ones
Wow that's awesome ScreamingLemur. Cannon is for sure one bad ass song!! Once again, I totally agree about Meg too. Her role in the {WS} is an important one. She's perfect. As Jackie has said before, she adds such innocence. Her simplistic, primal approach is just PERFECT for what they are about and what they are trying to get across. l like the way you summed it up, "captivating,really rough sounding yet mesmerizing". It's true. She's SO much behind those skins. Raw, sexy, fragile, primal, powerful, mesmerizing. She's awesome. Yes Jackie is a fuckin out of control talent....but the {WS} wouldn't be what they are without BOTH of them ya know?
So have you gotten into any of their more recent stuff at all? Have you given GET BEHIND ME SATAN a listen? I still can't get over this album. BEYOND WORDS AMAZING!!!!!! It's definitely a huuuuuge change for them but that's what I love about it. Not all {WS} fans found this a change that they could embrace. I personally think it is absolutely kick ass that Jackie is exploring all the layers of his talent. Ain't nothing wrong with that. He can do SO much! Have I mentioned that I find it mind boggling how much music flows effortlessly outta this man?????
Alright, I also had to come BUMP this up for my girl LeeAnn.... CHECK OUT THE PICS OF JACKIE & JIMMY!!! :eek: :eek:
************************************************************************************************************* * Jack has left us a photo message at the official site. The "evil goat" has left the building
Ah while I'm here I might as well BUMP it up with another fav from the mighty 2.;) This one has been in heavy rotation lately. Love the emotion from Jackie here. Singing about being filled with rage but sounding so calm and beautiful yet you can still reeeeally feel that power! Once again Jackie brings us real, raw, powerful and emotional lyrics with a voice just as perfect to match it all. This line always grabs me...
her stare is louder than your voice
because truth doesn't make a noise
Such a gorgeous song. Heavenly piano that just makes ya wanna weep! What a match it is with this beautfiul guitar work too. This band has a thing with intros...they seriously know how to hook you RIGHT from the beginning. Yet another intro here that I LOOOOOOOVE to bits. Everything about the song blends together flawlessly. It just sticks to you. Country-ish, bluesy, melancholy...brilliant! I can't get it outta my head.
~TRUTH DOESN'T MAKE A NOISE~
My baby's got a heart of stone
can't you people just leave her alone
she never did nothing to hurt you
so just leave her alone
the motion of her tiny hands
and the quiver of her bones below
are the signs of a girl alone
and tell you everything you need to know
I can't explain it
I feel it often
everytime I see her face
but the way you treat her
fills me with rage
and I want to tear apart the place
you try to tell her what to do
and all she does is stare at you
her stare is louder than your voice
because truth doesn't make a noise
no truth doesn't make a noise
truth doesn't make a noise
I can't explain it
I feel it often
everytime I see her face
but the way you treat her
fills me with rage
and I want to tear apart the place

Tuesday morning now
I gotta have somewhere to go
I call up tommy now
I call him on the telephone
Won't you wake up and come with me now
I'm going to the pawn and loan
Walking down thirty three
Walking on thirty o
Well what am i supposed to think
I drop a nickel in the sink
I love people like a brother now
But i'm not gonna be their mother now
What if someone walked up to me
And like an apple cut right through me
I'm not gonna stand there grinnin
'Cause I'm not the one who's sinnin
Screwdriver
Now that you have heard my story now
I've got a little ending to it now
Whenever you go out alone
Take a little dog a bone
Think about your little sister
Then you got to drive it home
With a screwdriver
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
YES! SCREWDRIVER! The first {WS} song! Where the magic all begin. loooove it.
Jack White:
"We were just goofing around. We just started doing this riff and there was this screwdriver laying there in the room so I started singing about it - what I'd do with it - ya know being angry. We thought it sounded really good and we thought why don't we work on this."
Jack White:
"I'd got threatened that week, just walking up the street and [Screwdriver] was retaliation. This feeling that I owe somebody I don't even know something, and at the same time my life is threatened. Like the line, 'I love people like a brother now/But I'm not going to be their mother now.' I don't need to owe anybody, I need to protect myself."
*sigh*
Damn I love this man/band!

..Drool fest you said!! I'm dehydrated
YOU goddess for they pics!
I swear he is the epitome of cool I love him..and beside thee legend that is Page :cool:
I did not know that about Screwdriver! Told ya like a Stripey encyclopedia you are..
So gonna go watch Under Blackpool Lights dvd now..while i'm on a Jackie trip *dreams
LeeAnn, you are SO welcome. Seriously, those 2 men side by side is just fuckin incredible!!!! :eek: And yes, Jackie is TOO MUCH! Like I've said before, when people are this fuckin amazing and out of control talented it almost makes me ANGRY. haha. I just can't even make sense of greatness this extreme. *bows down repeatedly*
Actually I didn't even know the full on history behind Screwdriver either until the Rolling Stones article last year. Stripey encyclopedia?? hehe. Hardly. You're too sweet!
Under Blackpool Lights dvd you say???? Mmmmmm! Yeah...I actually DO have a severe craving to actually SEE the mighty duo. I think I'm about to throw on Moore Park, AU '03. A friend graciously burned it for me awhile back and I have yet to watch it. That needs to be changed and right now is the time damnit!
But before my date with the amazing twosome I just wanna say... WOOOOO I'm excited about The Raconteurs. I read that they're releasing a vinyl only single this following week and UK tour dates are to be released very soon as well. I SO hope we get shows in the US too!!!
There are also several rumors flyin around that THE WHITE STRIPES might be playing at this years COACHELLA http://www.coachella.com/!!! This would be the 2nd time they've played the yearly art/music festival that takes place in Indio, CA....the middle of the desert. It's such an amazing experience. We'll find out if there's any truth behind the rumors this following week as well. *crosses fingers & toes* MAN! I just can't even begin imagine that. I'd be there in a frickin heartbeat!
OK, and let's BUMP it up with this song cuze really....how awesome that I come on and see this "Raconteurs news" while I'm over here blastin this bad ass Brendan Benson cover.....
__-GOOD TO ME-__
I've got a 1984 volvo
I get in start it up and I go
it's not a vintage cadillac
but it always gets me there and back
and it'll always be good to me
always be good to me

always be good to me
I got a beat up silvertone amp
I plug in and it sound like a champ
it's not a fender tweek deluxe
it only cost me a couple a bucks
and it'll always sound good to me
always sound good to me
always sound good to me
always sound good to me
I got a girlfriend she's so true
and no other kind of girl will do
cause I've known lots of girls in the past
and I knew none of their love would last
but this one'll always be true to me
always be true to me
always be true to me
always be true to me
always be good to me
always be good to me

I was thinking about getting into this band. I'll probably check them out when there's a musical drought or something. Question though, did they break up or is it on hiatus right now?

Just a hiatus. The Raconteurs are a side project. The band members are from three different bands, The White Stripes -Jack, Brenden Benson, and the other two from The Greenhornes.
I'd recommend getting White Blood Cells and Elephant to start. All five releases are kick ass though. And I wouldn't wait for a musical drought...
when it's raining RED.....
Can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
I'm standing, standing in the red, red rain
In the morning, standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
In the morning, I'm standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you
You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you
In the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
If there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too
And if there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
NICE segway PearlStripes....and hey I've said it a million times but I can't stress it enough...*yells*I LOOOOOOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!##$ *bows down* Excellent, EXCELLENT choice!
So cool that you're interested in this AMAZINGLY KICK ASS band pj_zombie but um, totally agree with PearlStripes...a drought? :eek: What in the world you waiting for?!haha. The site I included above has quite a few live shows for download....so you can get a taste of that there. Also, this site is a cool source for potential fans. They have snippets of all the albums. That should get you started. So yeah, why wait? Makes much more sense to live in the PRESENT TENSE I hear.
The bad ass duo are currently touring Australia, BIG DAY OUT. Ooooo speaking of, here's an awesome recent article from Jackie on the road...
After that they're heading to Japan. They were suppose to do Japan before AU I believe, but Jackie hurt his vocal chords :(. He was told not to sing or even speak ( :eek: ) for 2 weeks. They had to postpone the dates till March. Very glad he's is doing better now though.
((BTW : the 2 songs from The Raconteurs are soooooo flippin GOOD))
BUMP it up with another obsessed fav. I just can't EVER get enough of this song!!! I definitely can't EVER listen to it just once.
I am ALL about covers and I swear these 2 OWN when it comes to this. THey stay true to the greatness of the O.G. but totally make it their own spicing things up with their raw, unique, rockin, disorted, super catchy style.
"I'm in love with BLACK JACK DAVEY"!
It's true!
Wooo!
+BLACK +JACK +DAVEY+
Black Davey come running on back,
Whistlen' loud and merry,
Made the woods round him ring,
And he charmed the heart of a lady,
Charmed the heart of a lady.
"How old are you my pretty little miss?",
"How old are you my honey?",
She answered with a loving smile,
"I'll be sixteen come sunday",
Said "ill be sixteen come sunday".
"Come and go with me, my pretty little miss
Come and go with me, my honey
I'll take you where the grass grows green
You never will want for money"
Said, "You never will want for money
"Pull off, pull off your long, blue gloves
Made of Spanish leather
Give to me your lily-white hand
And we'll ride off together"
Said, "We'll ride off together"
Well, she pulled off her long, blue gloves
Made of Spanish leather
And gave to him her lily-white hand
And bid fairwell forever
And they both rode off together
Well, late last night the boss came home
Inquiring about his lady
The servant spoke before she thought
"She been with Black Jack Davey
Rode off with Black Jack Davey"
"Come on, come on my coal-black horse
You're speedier than the gray
I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night
And I'll overtake my lady
Yeah, I'll overtake my lady"
Well, he rode all night 'til the broad daylight
'Til he came to a river ragin'
And there he spied his darlin' bride
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.
Would you forsake your house and home?
Would you forsake your baby?
Would you forsake your husband, too
To go with Black Jack Davey?
Run off with Black Jack Davey?
Last night I slept on a feather bed
Between my husband and baby
And tonight I lay on the river banks
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
I'm in love with Black Jack Davey

Heh, I only say I wait for a drought because I can't be overloaded with music. I've gotten three really good albums a little over a week ago and I need to let those soak in. I may venture into White Stripes and Radiohead next. While we're at it I've seen two recommendations for what Stripes album I should get first but what's everyone else think? Usually I start at the beginning with bands that have a well established discography like Pearl Jam and that worked out real well.

[size=+2]Hypnotize[/size]
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
So many times I called your house
Just to hear the tone
And though I knew you were't home
I didn't mind so much 'cause I'm so alone
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes
You're the kind of girl a guy like me
Could hypnotize
And if this comes as a surprise
Just think of all those guys
Who would tell you lies
I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes
I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
And be your right hand man
'til your hands get old
And then when all the feeling's gone
Just decide if you want to keep holding on
I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold
And nobody can deny the Depp-like looks of our Jackie... um, YUM.
Ahhhh...
"The Denial Twist"
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist <~~~~~~~~~~~~~loooove the little laugh here!!!
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the singer
'Cause he'll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinking about the girl
Ya, what he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"
Just because she makes a big rumpus
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
'bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the doctors weren't kiddin? She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
~peace~

Oh man, I've had SO many Stripey things going on lately. I finished watching Moore Park, AU '03 and even though I knew what greatness I was getting myself into, the duo blew me the hell away like it was my FIRST viewing!!!!! Damn!!:eek: JACKIE collapsing to his knees, so wrapped up in the music...sooo feeling it and sooo tearing that guitar to SHREDS! Completely morfed into the thing too! Him and his intrument united as one resulting in power beyond any of us. :eek: It really is one hell of a thing to witness. He especially had my jaw dropping during --one of the greatest covers that just rips me apart with it's beauty/intensity~>LOVE SICK, the HOLY "TOO SEXY FOR MYSELF"~> BALL & BISCUIT, and the shake your hips, smoothered in blues & groove beloved cover~> DEATH LETTER. Literally jaw-dropping performances here. The man is one hell of a work of art! Whew!! All his little semi-moon walks too. HAHA! Looove it. Nothing compares to SEEING all the music that pours outta him though. How each layer of sound completely possesses him and in turn possesses you. Soooo incredible!!!
Ok...just had to get that out. There are other viewings that took place but I'll save that for another post.
LeeAnn...first off, SUCH a kick ass choice of song there. I absolutely LOVE the middle part!!! Where the drums and guitar really start going nuts with each other. Ahhh! The way it builds and builds!?? Brilliant! That last verse always gets me too, especially "and then when all the feeling's gone-just decide if you want to keep holding on"
Secondly, aww that sucks about the download. See, this is why I am a MAC ONLY girl.haha. Stupid PCs and all their crashing. Grrr! Well hey, no worries. I know that was a huge ass file. I'm gonna post the version I was talking about in here for yours (and everyone elses) listening pleasure. The crowd simply KICKS ASS.....
LIZZYBEAR?? YES! So cool to see you here. You definitely speak the truth, Get Behind Me Satan is so insanely, unbelievably AMAZING. I cannot get over it.:o I'm so glad to hear that it's rockin your life. And yep, The Denial Twist is fuckin awesome. I think this makes the 3rd time it's been posted up in here. haha. Well hey..we seriously can't get enough. hehe. Pretty much sums up how we feel about the band all together. Aww love that little laugh there too. Ok but wait a second...are you quoting {WS} in you sig as well??? :eek: Ooooh HEEELL YES!! Just when I thought Huggy couldn't possibly love you anymore.
Heeey btw....pj_zombie! I saw in The Ranconteurs thread that you've been listening to some White Stripes albums. Wooohoo! Way to go buddy. Please be sure to let us know how that's going. Are you completely baffled by the musical god that is JACKIE WHITE yet??? Do tell!
Also, lets not forget THE WHITE STRIPES are up for 2 GRAMMYS tomorrow night...
The nominations are:
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal :
My Doorbell
The White Stripes
Best Alternative Music Album (Vocal or Instrumental.) :
Get Behind Me Satan
The White Stripes
YAY!! All the best to the mighty 2! To quote MissYouAllDay, "I can't imagine that album not winning." Come on! SERIOUSLY!!!! *crosses fingers & toes*

Why yes, yes I am, thanks for noticing (goes well with my little guy flipping off the world, eh?). I'm telling you, this duo is seriously rivaling my PJ love these days... although nobody truly tops the boys in my book as far as bands still making music goes...
I cannot believe it took me so long to discover the {WS} magic. I guess you either get it or you don't... A lot of people think they suck... I hadn't ever really given them a chance till I saw them live... and now I cannot get enough (thank you AGAIN Sigh Eternally, my beautiful little brother)!
I've often wondered if any of the PJ boys have given the Dynamic Duo a serious listen. You'd think that if they did, they'd be drawn by both the musical talent and the lyrics (certainly what hooked me). Holy fuck! :eek: It's some of the greatest stuff ever! And I'm a picky-ass music person, too... the hub is always telling me I'm "not diversified enough". Whatevah, hon... :rolleyes: Sorry if I can't do the rap, hip-hop, country, or Tejano these days... too much good ROCK to listen to!

Yeah, I borrowed Elephant from a friend for a good week and gave it at least 10 listens. Now that I gave it back my CD case feels a little empty so I'm going to have to pick it up soon. Jack White is definately a talented musician and the lyrics/vocals were done well. This'll be my first White Stripes album so where should I go after this?

YAY Lizzy! I loooove it. Seriously, I liked the band a lot before but seeing them live has especially sent me over the edge. I hear ya on that. I'm just obsessed now! I really think after you actually witness this magic, this chemistry, this huge sound from 2 people live...well the love & respect is just pushed to the highest extreme. Anyone that sees them live for the first time and is not way deeper in love or freshly deep in love is just plain CRAZY!! I agree with you, JACKIE is a huge talent all around. I can't praise his lyrics enough either. They definitely draw you in. I actually made a WHITE STRIPES mix cd for my ex before he moved to Hawaii a few months back. Well he sent me a message a few days ago thanking me for it...he says he listens to it EVERY SINGLE DAY! HORRAY! He also commented on how catchy and captivating Jackie's lyrics are. This coming from a man that never, I repeat...NEVER listens to lyrics. We use to get into long convos about this. I never understood how lyrics didn't matter nor stand out to him. Anyways, as you could imagine when I heard this news it put THE biggest smile ever on my face. Not only the fact that he's looovin it up with the {WS} mix cd, but the fact that he actually gave props to Jackie's lyrics. That's huuuuge! Yes, as if further proof is needed~~>Jackie is a fuckin musical mastermind. In so many ways the man just OWNS.
I was watching old MTV interviews with the Dynamic Duo awhile back. I really can't say it enough...I completely admire and appreciate their entire approach to music making. It's so raw, real, fresh, original, classic. Each time I hear Jackie talk about live shows...how they never rehearse, they never have a set list!? I mean jesus!! All of this to add to the uniqueness/ specialness of the show and overall entire live/{WS} experience. Soooo beautiful! They really know what it's about! This style, sound, approach and vibe is definitely unsurpassed. All around the band clearly stands out in a league all their own.
Alright...that's my "I'm in LOVE with THE WHITE STIPES" gushing for the day.
pj_zombie! Right on! Elephant is for sure a classic {WS} album. Love it to bits. I don't see how anyone can deny that badboy. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This is the start of a great relationship. What next? Hmmm. Well honestly no matter what you decide you can't go wrong. I agree with PearlStripes. It might be a good idea to kinda work your way back and go with WHITE BLOOD CELLS next. All the albums are equally great if you ask me. I do find myself listening to DE STIJL a whole lot though. You definitely need to educate yourself on the greatness of GET BEHINND ME SATAN too!!! All in due time. hehe. Really though, whatever you do decide to do at this point will be the right choice.
Speaking of DE STIJL, Lizzy I don't think this ones been posted yet so allow me to do the honors! This one's for you MommSissyBear. So glad we can not only share in PJ together...but also the almighty STRIPES. We sure do have awesome taste.
This is such a great song. I'm gonna BUMP up the love with this hooky little number. This main guitar just digs into you....and I LOOOVE the way Jackie sings the "oooh ooh". Such a groovy, catchy ass song. This breakdown before the chorus is awesome as hell too!! :eek:
--WHY CAN'T YOU BE NICER TO ME?--

looking at the ceiling
oh
everything's so funny

oh
why can't you be nicer to me?
my pride is dying
I think I'm all done lying
oh
nobody's sharing
so I stopped caring
oh
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
oh
hey
why can't you be nicer to me?
well the wind is blowing
where am I going
oh
off a bridge and falling
nobody's calling
oh
on the ground and laying
nobody's praying

And LMAO @ "rap, hip-hop, country, or Tejano these days"! hahahaha. Too much!
he thinks I'm one-dimensional. oooooooooo-kee-dokee! I'll just continue to explore parallel universes within my chosen genre, thank you very much. 1D Lizzy, that's me.
Whoa, that's major progress on the ex studying lyrics. I have a friend who was the same way -- "I just listen to the music, not the words" (whaaa???) so I have printed out I don't know HOW many PJ songs for her (since that's what she's subjected to a lot when around me, heh) and it really opened her eyes. Now she says the music on the Top 40 stations "is shit because it doesn't say anything". Mission accomplished! Granted, we can all go for a lose-your-mind doo-da-de singalong from time to time, but the music that MATTERS is the music that speaks to you. And so it is, for me, with PJ and the mighty {WS}.
How does all that SOUND come out of 2 people?!? :eek: A-may-zing!
Thanks for posting "my" song, too. SO good...
my pride is dying
I think I'm all done lying
oh
nobody's sharing
so I stopped caring
oh
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
oh
hey
why can't you be nicer to me?
Love you back, you precious darling girl.
~peace~
Never allow someone to be your Priority,
While allowing yourself to be their Option.
Alright, I'll probably go with White Blood Cells next and then GBMS before I hit their first two. All in due time but I'll probably have them all by the end of the year. I like giving each album time before moving onto the next like I did for the last year and a half with Pearl Jam.

That's the best way to do it IMO. Spend time with each disc. You'll love White Blood Cells. If you like the raw stuff, rockin' bluesy vibes from an artist truely feeling the music, their first release is awesome. Some catchy shit! And then there's De Stijl. Apple Blossom! Fill us in on De Stijl Vedhead. You're Pretty Good Looking .....For a Girl.
hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you
come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and i will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles to
come and sit with me and talk awhile
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and i will sort them out for you
i'll fall in love with you
i think i'll marry you
YAY!!! AWW!!! I can't stop smiling! This is fuckin great news. I really had such a good feeling about them winning too. Aww, today has kicked ass! What a perfect end to it all. HELL YES!!! CONGRATS TO THE TWO! We couldn't imagine the beloved album not winning and check it out. YES!!!!!
pj_zombie...good idea. I hear ya with taking time with each album. Shit with this band that gets extended beyond the norm it seems. haha, yep...nearly PJ style. It's hard as hell to stop listening to these albums!! I agree PearlStripes, I too think he's gonna love WHITE BLOOD CELLS. It is super raw! Oooo, did you say DE STIJL? Fill you in, eh? Well posting Apple Blossom is a huge part of the answer there. What a little gem. Such a beeeeautiful/cute little song. I also don't think I've mentioned how in love I am with DEATH LETTER. Shit! The song is soooo groovy. It's as if Jackie was destined to cover it. Such a perfect match and easily one of my most listened to Stripes tracks.....along with the REMARKABLY GORGEOUS I'm Bound To Pack It Up. Oh and more gorgeousness....Truth Doesn't Make a Noise, Sister, Do You Know My Name?, A Boy's Best Friend. The album just seems to have a lot of heart to it, and a lot of heart tuggin beauties. I love that about it.
MeGaJuNkIe^...ROCK ON! Hey you don't need to have listened lately to know this band kicks major ass!! NOTE : You probably should do yourself a favor and listen soon though. :eek: hahaha.
OH..>MY>>>GOD people, did you all read Eddie's interview with Steve Turner in DEEP magazine!??!:eek: :eek: Lizzy...we finally have confirmation~~~> EDDIE LIKES THE STRIPES!!!! Woooo!!! He gives them props in the interview & I swear that gave me chills...put the biggest grin on my face. HELL YES!!
Ooooo also thank you for posting this PearlStripes.:D I have been meaning to come BUMP up this thread with some YouTube action. That is an AMAZING performance. :eek: *chills* Reminds me of the Let's Build A Home performance they did on Conan (one of my all time favs) when Jackie walks over to the desk, puts his guitar down on it, and then just starts shreddin it to pieces. I always LOVE it when he does that...lays it down and then fucks it UP! God damn! He is such a fuckin supreme badass?! :eek: The man will never stop blowing my mind. He's brilliant. Yet another extreme talent that completely mystifies me with it's greatness.
Reason #100 million trillion why we love this man/band.....
OH..>MY>>>GOD people, did you all read Eddie's interview with Steve Turner in DEEP magazine!??!:eek: :eek: Lizzy...we finally have confirmation~~~> EDDIE LIKES THE STRIPES!!!! Woooo!!! He gives them props in the interview & I swear that gave me chills...put the biggest grin on my face. HELL YES!!
I noticed the same, very cool. He gives The White Stripes some mad props and Steve kinda did too.

Comments
I have a good memory of New Year's Eve I think five years ago at the Magic Stick in Detroit.The Stripes were there and the Von Bondies (one of their first shows,I think) and if I remember right the Detroit Cobras(kick ass cover band)
I really loved the Von Bondies first album and i thought they'd be big after the Stripes broke but the second album was kinda weak. Oh well.
My husband has some rare 45's of theirs(early ones) and I still pull em out from time to time and give em a listen.
So have you gotten into any of their more recent stuff at all? Have you given GET BEHIND ME SATAN a listen? I still can't get over this album. BEYOND WORDS AMAZING!!!!!! It's definitely a huuuuuge change for them but that's what I love about it. Not all {WS} fans found this a change that they could embrace. I personally think it is absolutely kick ass that Jackie is exploring all the layers of his talent. Ain't nothing wrong with that. He can do SO much! Have I mentioned that I find it mind boggling how much music flows effortlessly outta this man?????
Alright, I also had to come BUMP this up for my girl LeeAnn.... CHECK OUT THE PICS OF JACKIE & JIMMY!!! :eek: :eek:

Ah while I'm here I might as well BUMP it up with another fav from the mighty 2.;) This one has been in heavy rotation lately. Love the emotion from Jackie here. Singing about being filled with rage but sounding so calm and beautiful yet you can still reeeeally feel that power! Once again Jackie brings us real, raw, powerful and emotional lyrics with a voice just as perfect to match it all. This line always grabs me...
her stare is louder than your voice
because truth doesn't make a noise
Such a gorgeous song. Heavenly piano that just makes ya wanna weep! What a match it is with this beautfiul guitar work too. This band has a thing with intros...they seriously know how to hook you RIGHT from the beginning. Yet another intro here that I LOOOOOOOVE to bits. Everything about the song blends together flawlessly. It just sticks to you. Country-ish, bluesy, melancholy...brilliant! I can't get it outta my head.
~TRUTH DOESN'T MAKE A NOISE~
My baby's got a heart of stone
can't you people just leave her alone
she never did nothing to hurt you
so just leave her alone
the motion of her tiny hands
and the quiver of her bones below
are the signs of a girl alone
and tell you everything you need to know
I can't explain it
I feel it often
everytime I see her face
but the way you treat her
fills me with rage
and I want to tear apart the place
you try to tell her what to do
and all she does is stare at you
her stare is louder than your voice
because truth doesn't make a noise
no truth doesn't make a noise
truth doesn't make a noise
I can't explain it
I feel it often
everytime I see her face
but the way you treat her
fills me with rage
and I want to tear apart the place

SCREWDRIVER
Tuesday morning now
I gotta have somewhere to go
I call up tommy now
I call him on the telephone
Won't you wake up and come with me now
I'm going to the pawn and loan
Walking down thirty three
Walking on thirty o
Well what am i supposed to think
I drop a nickel in the sink
I love people like a brother now
But i'm not gonna be their mother now
What if someone walked up to me
And like an apple cut right through me
I'm not gonna stand there grinnin
'Cause I'm not the one who's sinnin
Screwdriver
Now that you have heard my story now
I've got a little ending to it now
Whenever you go out alone
Take a little dog a bone
Think about your little sister
Then you got to drive it home
With a screwdriver
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
Ooooh and here ya go....
http://www.rosshalfin.co.uk/white-stripes/the-white-stripes-page01.html#
:eek:
I still can't get over all that!! WOWIE!
*bows down*
YES! SCREWDRIVER! The first {WS} song! Where the magic all begin. loooove it.
Jack White:
"We were just goofing around. We just started doing this riff and there was this screwdriver laying there in the room so I started singing about it - what I'd do with it - ya know being angry. We thought it sounded really good and we thought why don't we work on this."
Jack White:
"I'd got threatened that week, just walking up the street and [Screwdriver] was retaliation. This feeling that I owe somebody I don't even know something, and at the same time my life is threatened. Like the line, 'I love people like a brother now/But I'm not going to be their mother now.' I don't need to owe anybody, I need to protect myself."
*sigh*
Damn I love this man/band!

LeeAnn, you are SO welcome.
Actually I didn't even know the full on history behind Screwdriver either until the Rolling Stones article last year.
Random side note : THIS SITE KICKS MAJOR ASS.....
http://www.redcandycane.net/sound-glasto.html
Under Blackpool Lights dvd you say???? Mmmmmm! Yeah...I actually DO have a severe craving to actually SEE the mighty duo. I think I'm about to throw on Moore Park, AU '03.
But before my date with the amazing twosome I just wanna say... WOOOOO I'm excited about The Raconteurs.
There are also several rumors flyin around that THE WHITE STRIPES might be playing at this years COACHELLA http://www.coachella.com/!!! This would be the 2nd time they've played the yearly art/music festival that takes place in Indio, CA....the middle of the desert. It's such an amazing experience.
OK, and let's BUMP it up with this song cuze really....how awesome that I come on and see this "Raconteurs news" while I'm over here blastin this bad ass Brendan Benson cover.....
__-GOOD TO ME-__
I've got a 1984 volvo
I get in start it up and I go
it's not a vintage cadillac
but it always gets me there and back
and it'll always be good to me
always be good to me
always be good to me
always be good to me
I got a beat up silvertone amp
I plug in and it sound like a champ
it's not a fender tweek deluxe
it only cost me a couple a bucks
and it'll always sound good to me
always sound good to me
always sound good to me
always sound good to me
I got a girlfriend she's so true
and no other kind of girl will do
cause I've known lots of girls in the past
and I knew none of their love would last
but this one'll always be true to me
always be true to me
always be true to me
always be true to me
always be good to me
always be good to me
always be good to me
always be good to me

I'd recommend getting White Blood Cells and Elephant to start. All five releases are kick ass though. And I wouldn't wait for a musical drought...
when it's raining RED.....
Can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
I'm standing, standing in the red, red rain
In the morning, standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
In the morning, I'm standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you
You think not telling is the same as not lying, don't you?
Then I guess not feeling is the same as not crying to you
In the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
If there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too
And if there is a lie, then there is a liar, too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner, too
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
In the red, in the red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
I'm in red, I'm in red, in the rain, in the rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
So cool that you're interested in this AMAZINGLY KICK ASS band pj_zombie but um, totally agree with PearlStripes...a drought? :eek: What in the world you waiting for?!haha. The site I included above has quite a few live shows for download....so you can get a taste of that there. Also, this site is a cool source for potential fans. They have snippets of all the albums. That should get you started.
The bad ass duo are currently touring Australia, BIG DAY OUT. Ooooo speaking of, here's an awesome recent article from Jackie on the road...
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,17902709%255E16947,00.html
After that they're heading to Japan. They were suppose to do Japan before AU I believe, but Jackie hurt his vocal chords :(. He was told not to sing or even speak ( :eek: ) for 2 weeks. They had to postpone the dates till March. Very glad he's is doing better now though.
((BTW : the 2 songs from The Raconteurs are soooooo flippin GOOD))
BUMP it up with another obsessed fav. I just can't EVER get enough of this song!!! I definitely can't EVER listen to it just once.
I am ALL about covers and I swear these 2 OWN when it comes to this. THey stay true to the greatness of the O.G. but totally make it their own spicing things up with their raw, unique, rockin, disorted, super catchy style.
"I'm in love with BLACK JACK DAVEY"!
It's true!
Wooo!
+BLACK +JACK +DAVEY+
Black Davey come running on back,
Whistlen' loud and merry,
Made the woods round him ring,
And he charmed the heart of a lady,
Charmed the heart of a lady.
"How old are you my pretty little miss?",
"How old are you my honey?",
She answered with a loving smile,
"I'll be sixteen come sunday",
Said "ill be sixteen come sunday".
"Come and go with me, my pretty little miss
Come and go with me, my honey
I'll take you where the grass grows green
You never will want for money"
Said, "You never will want for money
"Pull off, pull off your long, blue gloves
Made of Spanish leather
Give to me your lily-white hand
And we'll ride off together"
Said, "We'll ride off together"
Well, she pulled off her long, blue gloves
Made of Spanish leather
And gave to him her lily-white hand
And bid fairwell forever
And they both rode off together
Well, late last night the boss came home
Inquiring about his lady
The servant spoke before she thought
"She been with Black Jack Davey
Rode off with Black Jack Davey"
"Come on, come on my coal-black horse
You're speedier than the gray
I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night
And I'll overtake my lady
Yeah, I'll overtake my lady"
Well, he rode all night 'til the broad daylight
'Til he came to a river ragin'
And there he spied his darlin' bride
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.
Would you forsake your house and home?
Would you forsake your baby?
Would you forsake your husband, too
To go with Black Jack Davey?
Run off with Black Jack Davey?
Last night I slept on a feather bed
Between my husband and baby
And tonight I lay on the river banks
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
I'm in love with Black Jack Davey

[size=+2]Hypnotize[/size]
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
So many times I called your house
Just to hear the tone
And though I knew you were't home
I didn't mind so much 'cause I'm so alone
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes
You're the kind of girl a guy like me
Could hypnotize
And if this comes as a surprise
Just think of all those guys
Who would tell you lies
I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes
I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
And be your right hand man
'til your hands get old
And then when all the feeling's gone
Just decide if you want to keep holding on
I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold
And nobody can deny the Depp-like looks of our Jackie... um, YUM.
Ahhhh...
"The Denial Twist"
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist <~~~~~~~~~~~~~loooove the little laugh here!!!
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the singer
'Cause he'll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinking about the girl
Ya, what he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"
Just because she makes a big rumpus
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
'bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the doctors weren't kiddin?
She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
~peace~

Why yes, yes I am, thanks for noticing (goes well with my little guy flipping off the world, eh?).
I cannot believe it took me so long to discover the {WS} magic. I guess you either get it or you don't... A lot of people think they suck... I hadn't ever really given them a chance till I saw them live... and now I cannot get enough (thank you AGAIN Sigh Eternally, my beautiful little brother)!
I've often wondered if any of the PJ boys have given the Dynamic Duo a serious listen. You'd think that if they did, they'd be drawn by both the musical talent and the lyrics (certainly what hooked me). Holy fuck! :eek: It's some of the greatest stuff ever! And I'm a picky-ass music person, too... the hub is always telling me I'm "not diversified enough". Whatevah, hon... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I borrowed Elephant from a friend for a good week and gave it at least 10 listens. Now that I gave it back my CD case feels a little empty so I'm going to have to pick it up soon. Jack White is definately a talented musician and the lyrics/vocals were done well. This'll be my first White Stripes album so where should I go after this?

I was watching old MTV interviews with the Dynamic Duo awhile back. I really can't say it enough...I completely admire and appreciate their entire approach to music making. It's so raw, real, fresh, original, classic. Each time I hear Jackie talk about live shows...how they never rehearse, they never have a set list!? I mean jesus!! All of this to add to the uniqueness/ specialness of the show and overall entire live/{WS} experience. Soooo beautiful! They really know what it's about! This style, sound, approach and vibe is definitely unsurpassed. All around the band clearly stands out in a league all their own.
Alright...that's my "I'm in LOVE with THE WHITE STIPES" gushing for the day.
pj_zombie! Right on! Elephant is for sure a classic {WS} album. Love it to bits. I don't see how anyone can deny that badboy. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This is the start of a great relationship.
Speaking of DE STIJL, Lizzy I don't think this ones been posted yet so allow me to do the honors! This one's for you MommSissyBear. So glad we can not only share in PJ together...but also the almighty STRIPES. We sure do have awesome taste.
This is such a great song. I'm gonna BUMP up the love with this hooky little number. This main guitar just digs into you....and I LOOOVE the way Jackie sings the "oooh ooh".
--WHY CAN'T YOU BE NICER TO ME?--
somebody's screaming
looking at the ceiling
oh
everything's so funny
I don't have any money
oh
people don't know me
but they know how to show me
oh
why can't you be nicer to me?
my pride is dying
I think I'm all done lying
oh
nobody's sharing
so I stopped caring
oh
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
oh
hey
why can't you be nicer to me?
well the wind is blowing
where am I going
oh
off a bridge and falling
nobody's calling
oh
on the ground and laying
nobody's praying
oh
why can't you be nicer to me?

Whoa, that's major progress on the ex studying lyrics. I have a friend who was the same way -- "I just listen to the music, not the words" (whaaa???) so I have printed out I don't know HOW many PJ songs for her (since that's what she's subjected to a lot when around me, heh) and it really opened her eyes. Now she says the music on the Top 40 stations "is shit because it doesn't say anything".
How does all that SOUND come out of 2 people?!? :eek: A-may-zing!
Thanks for posting "my" song, too. SO good...
my pride is dying
I think I'm all done lying
oh
nobody's sharing
so I stopped caring
oh
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
oh
hey
why can't you be nicer to me?
Love you back, you precious darling girl.
~peace~

That's the best way to do it IMO. Spend time with each disc. You'll love White Blood Cells. If you like the raw stuff, rockin' bluesy vibes from an artist truely feeling the music, their first release is awesome. Some catchy shit! And then there's De Stijl. Apple Blossom! Fill us in on De Stijl Vedhead. You're Pretty Good Looking .....For a Girl.
hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you
come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and i will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles to
come and sit with me and talk awhile
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and i will sort them out for you
i'll fall in love with you
i think i'll marry you
Too bad for Death Cab and Arcade fire though.
Both great bands!
I miss you already, I miss you all day
YAY!!! AWW!!!
pj_zombie...good idea. I hear ya with taking time with each album. Shit with this band that gets extended beyond the norm it seems.
MeGaJuNkIe^...ROCK ON! Hey you don't need to have listened lately to know this band kicks major ass!!

Ooooo also thank you for posting this PearlStripes.:D I have been meaning to come BUMP up this thread with some YouTube action. That is an AMAZING performance. :eek: *chills* Reminds me of the Let's Build A Home performance they did on Conan (one of my all time favs) when Jackie walks over to the desk, puts his guitar down on it, and then just starts shreddin it to pieces. I always LOVE it when he does that...lays it down and then fucks it UP! God damn! He is such a fuckin supreme badass?! :eek: The man will never stop blowing my mind. He's brilliant.
Reason #100 million trillion why we love this man/band.....
The badass in action
:eek:
