From Mika

Hey guys, this is likely my penultimate posting here, so please excuse the extreme length. (To fulfill an agreement to get a charity:water donation, I promised to post something on another band but later for that.)

Today - I'd like to salute the official end of The White Stripes and the brilliance of Jack White (and often overlooked Meg White.) They expanded my horizons in many ways - not least was what a band actually is and what a guy, a girl, a guitar and a drumset can do:) They hadn't performed together in sometime as Jack moved on to other bands (Dead Weather and the Raconteurs/many, many collabs and generally becoming a huge creative and business force in music (check out Third Man Records), but the official announcement of the end of the band came out this week. So farewell to The White Stripes - though I'll be there for the reunion tour if Meg agrees:)

The wiki entry on Jack - it's fascinating if you love music across genres as Jack does:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_White_(musician)

Jack doesn't have a 'pretty' voice and the music is heavily guitar driven so... it might get loud:)

Jolene (Cover) - The White Stripes (personal favorite but I like Dolly's version too)

Trailer for 'Under Great Northern Lights' tour doc.[b/] I was going to post a vid of 'Seven Nation Army' but couldn't decide which one. Decided this trailer gives taste of the song and TWS.

Finally not The White Stripes - Jack White and Loretta Lynn - Portland (cause it always makes me smile and great use of sloe gin fizz)

Okay I admit I'm just indulgent now but interesting words of wisdom about creativity, restriction, technology and bench kicking (God, I love artists who love and think about their art this much - whatever it is.)

Mika thank you so much for posting this.
Yes Jack White has expanded my horizons too.I was amazed to listen to what at first to me sounded like a full band and it only came out from two people.I wont say more since you've said it so perfectly.
And yes he doesnt have a "pretty" voice.A pretty voice is not always a good thing especially for this kind of music.

In fact when i found out about the official end of the band a couple of days ago i posted this on my fb page.

And i will add another favorite of mine with not a pretty voice but a hell of a band and a hell of a good vid.Every time i listen to it i bang my head and my kids are making fun of me in a good way they love it that their mom is listening to the same kind of music that they listen to.Now another day i will post a vid of Rammstein ,i dont want to scare people now. :D

Oh and i will post Seven nation army for you since it is one of my all time favorites and has to been listened to.

I have to write just a few words about a great hero of mine who passed away today...
RIP Gary Moore...
Gary Moore
In a career dating back to the 1960s, Moore played with artists including Phil Lynott and Brian Downey as early as his secondary school days, leading him to a membership twice with the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy.

G. Moore gave me some of the most beloved guitar riffs of my teenage years and he still does.

From Alison

Mika, what I love most about Jack White is his repect for and support of artists that came before him. His collaboration with Loretta Lynn is beyond cool as is his newest production of Wanda Jackson's new album. He is inspired by these legends and pushes them past their comfort levels to create something fresh and new. He is a true artist.

I love Wanda's description of him in this interview. She says he is like a "velvet brick" because he wouldn't let her leave the studio until he got the sound he wanted.

Hello

So you probably all know Adele. Adam tweeted about her when I was on holiday with no internet connection so I don't know if this was posted at the time in the daily news thread, but it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Someone Like You at the Brit Awards at the O2 Arena:

The song went to no 1 in the UK the week after.

Mika, gelly & Sugaree I also love The White Stripes.Jack White is very talented and so is Meg.I was very sad to hear they disbanded.I see gelly already posted my favorite song, Seven Nation Army, so I'll post another favorite:

Another band I love is Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeah_Yeah_Yeahs
I discovered them completely by chance and I've been in love with them ever since (lead singer Keren O is also one of my fashion idols).I saw them live when they were a warm up act for Depesh Mode (another favorite) and they're just as good live.
Some of you may know this from Glee but the original is so much better IMHO:

And one of my favorite songs:
