Sooo Wrong

I'm sure this was Jack White's dream scenario when he & Meg made Seven Nation Army...

The Dead Weather live on From The Basement






Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... I love him sooo much! Ah... Jack White. Whoo! Whoo! I've been impatiently waiting for The Dead Weather's live performance on From The Basement for weeks. Now, I'm sitting here watching the archival footage of The Raconteurs that they're running while us die hard fans wait n wait n wait wait wait... "Rich Kid Blues" is playing & it's fucking awesome. I feel like I'm right there in the studio with Jack (okay, so I have a good imagination, which enhances the in-studio effect)... oh hell, what was I saying??? They just switched to archival footage of The White Stripes doing "Blue Orchid". Why am I sitting her jerking off to blogger?! See ya later. Much later...

UPDATE: Yarrrr!!! That was way more FUN than anyone should be allowed to have in the middle of a Monday afternoon- one of the awesome perks of working from home. Did you watch? I watched with headphones on &, now that it's over, the neighborhood quiet leaking in from an open window seems all the more peaceful & zen. There's a dove cooing in the distance, some trees rolling like the ocean & a plane flying high overhead. I am one with life & nature &, yes, rock & roll. Ommmmm....

The White Stripes Are Not Over

If you follow my Obedient Waves BLOG, you know I have a maniacal preoccupation with Jack White, which started with the birth of the White Stripes. Okay- maybe I wasn't there at the actual date of birth, but I was coming 'round with flowers & balloons shortly there after & have been a most devoted fan ever since. Okay- now that's a lie too. Not that I have faltered in my love for Mr. White, ever EVER, but I really wasn't feeling The Raconteurs. It was just too... ordinary and, I thought, beneath him. Thankfully, he's moved on to the Dead Weather with Alison Mosshart, the only woman on the planet who could possibly be considered his counterpart in cool, and all is right in the world again. In fact, it's more than alright. I am swimming in an embarrassment of riches now that I found this lil interview with Radar Music that Jack did a couple of days ago, promising another record & tour for The White Stripes next year!!! Excuse me now- I gotta go dig up my old copy of De Stijl to celebrate this news like a proper idiot.
