I really appreciate how Jack loves to go as far as he can with everything he has, like Byrne and Belew and so many other unorthodox wildcats jammed for our perpetual enjoyment on RP!

RP rarely converts me.  I used to dismiss all his albums as whatever.  But I ended up getting Jack White's latest album — totally in love.  The one with the vulture sitting on his shoulder on the cover.  It's crazy, but I hear the over-pedalled piano minor scale riffs in my sleep - it's become a brain obsession that I just can't shake.

What initially turned me off about The White Stripes was Jack White's near-hysterical vocals - always reminded me of "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet.  I must be getting older, or maybe more mature in my listening habits, because this song didn't have me lunging for the mouse to click on the mute button.  Hmmm. {#Dancingbanana_2}

Thanks for that.  Your comment to a previously unknown artist (to me) sparked a trip to Wikipedia, then a half hour of youtube...

P.S.  Actually, I've heard 'Do You Know What I Mean' many times, just didn't know it was him...

This post made me laugh.

(Jack White not Jack Black, and Jack White is in the Raconteurs. But for some reason I think you already know that. If not, sorry for laughing!)

But they have gotten better, and the piano on 'Get behinde me Satin' really filled in their sound so I started to listen to that album. Then I started to like their other music.

They have an AC/DC, or Franz Ferdinand, appeal to me. I really have no reason to like it on a musical level. The songs are just really catchy and great to listen to.


"Get Behinde Me Satin"? Is that on the latest CD at Victoria's Secret? Maybe that's "Get me Satin Behind"...?

I haven't listent to the WS much, but I have liked what I heard.

I can tell you about my buddy Scott who was a big WS fan, a total music snob, and a fantastic musician. He played primarily ragtime and pre-war blues guitar, and really well. He constantly bemoaned the lack of skill and poor taste of modern music, but the WS apparenlty made it into his good graces.

As a mediocre musician, I really appreciate skill, when it isn't just skill for skill's sake (can't stand Satriani for example), and I really appreciate creativity. I think the WS seem to be trying to do something interesting, besides just selling records. But I'll have to spend more time listening to them to really judge.

I dont mind hearing them, but yet to have purchased any of their albums. As a musician I would only say that all music has it's place. To understand the music is to know the writer alittle more than you did just before you heard it. Would you ever walk up to your child who gave you a drawing and say that sucks, or do you take into consideration the meaning?
Are you people out there in the world more about format or content?
