…and guitars, and basses, and microphones? Then you might find yourself clamoring for the new Nylon book called PLAY, which heavily focuses on some of the hottest, most stylish, and sometimes controversial, female figures to ever rock the music world. Interviews with people like Jenny Lewis and Peaches and homages to the style of Amy […]

In the midst of watching the new episode of Gossip Girl (Michelle Trachtenberg, really? Vampire Weekend’s “Campus” playing during a Brooklyn scene?) I’m finding time to log in some quick updates during the commercial breaks.

Run, don’t walk! If you want to catch a glimpse of Mr. Jack White, who is surely supporting his lady love, Karen Elson and her new band “Birds,” playing at the Bowery Ballroom right now. Who else can you spot? Funny man Paul Rudd and the crew from the STELLA television show. Why are they […]

Yes, it’s obvious that Jack White sure does love Patti Page from the cover version of her 1952 hit, “Conquest,” that appears on the latest White Stripes album, Icky Thump. But USA Today was not content with the mere thought of a lovefest between them, they recently facilitated a phone conversation between the White Stripes […]
