A blog about music, pop culture, the Strokes, Jack White, and NYC at large.
Holy mother of… The White Stripes just signed a 2 album deal with V2 Records here in the US. After reading that article, you sort of feel like it’s The Strokes RCA deal… part 2. Crazy. It seems they’re going to have a lot of control over their work…My favorite part? “The arrangement with Third Man gives Jack, in essence, an A&R and production role with V2, with opportunities for other Detroit acts he has been producing.”
All the best to ’em!
Hey Sarwat, WHO THE F*CK IS STEPHEN MALKMUS?
Check out The Stripes at John Peel. Jack is getting weirder every day. Now I think he thinks he’s Alex in A Clockwork Orange. Oh A Clockwork Orange. O.
I just realized. Jack Black, action hero. Jack White, rock hero. I wonder what Jack Red, Blue and Green are doing. Probably rockin’ out somewhere.
You know what else? I figured out who Jack White’s voice reminds me of. The enjoyable Vince Vaughn. Both of them need to be on Ritalin. Bless.
