Slog - Comments on Rag & Bone http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/rag_bone The online music community (words that should cause any rational human being to cringe) was all a-twitter last week over the news that Icky Thump, the forthcoming full-length release from the White Stripes was leaked by Chicago radio station Q101.  According to DJ Elektra, the on-air “personality” responsibly for the faux pas, the hourlong unauthorized broadcast was a “lovefest” for the band. Jack White didn’t agree.  In fact, Jack White was pissed.  Upon receiving the news that his new record had been broadcast in its entirety, he phoned the radio station from Spain and ripped the idiotic DJ a new...

I still plan on buying them the day they come out. If they weren't worth buying I wouldn't let them take up precious space on my hard drive.

Nevertheless, he's an asshole. The world where the White Stripes count as a sucky band is a fantasyland.

There's been a whole lot of package talk so far on Freaky Friday. I think Savage is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Remember, I before slash I, B before slash B, close your tags, and dance with me!

Oh poor thing, Jack *almost* made her cry. Word is that she promised not to air Jack's phone call but the station did repeatedly air a reenactment starring Chris Rock. Classy.

I wish they'd discover blow, heroin, "cheese," sherm, SOMETHING that would push them into a seedy hotel room surrounded by 96 syringes and a 38-special.
