Comments: Hello, everybody! I've been doing far too much electronic music lately, so I decided to switch it up with some White Stripes! I love The White Stripes-- even if I can never remember if the 'the' is capitalized or not-- and I was so sad when I got into them and discovered they had already broken up. Jack White's vocals paired with the distinctive minimalist instrumentation he and Meg White use creates such a unique, wonderful sound. You will be a conquest of this song, just as I was.

Entry 269-- "Walking with a Ghost"

Song: "Walking with a Ghost" || Artist: The White Stripes || http://youtu.be/jeYyoU8kKPQ ||

Comments: Oh, this song takes me back. As I recall, I originally found this song a few years ago when I really started exploring The White Stripes. To put things in perspective, playlist.com was actually popular and useful then. After some poking around, I learned that this song was, in fact, a cover of the original song by Tegan and Sara, another very good two-person group. You should take a listen, and if you like it, go find the original and see what you think. Enjoy!

Entry 147-- "Blue Orchid"

Song: "Blue Orchid"

Comments: By the virtue of being stuck in my head for the previous several minutes, today's post is the song "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes. (Is 'the White Stripes' or 'The White Stripes?' I don't remember if their title includes the article... someone help me out?) This song is catchy, and I have no idea why it's stuck in my head. There will probably be more Jack White this week; He released a new song, and as soon as I take a second listen, I'll probably toss it this way. Enjoy!

Entry 13-- "Icky Thump"

Song: "Icky Thump"
Artist: The White Stripes

Comments: A classic song by a classic band, "Icky Thump" is one of the many reasons I wish The White Stripes hadn't broken up. A slightly political song, but one that makes a valid point nevertheless. The video is also pretty awesome.
