Jack White is one of the most interesting characters in rock music. He's a bona fide legend, and a man who, somewhat like Bob Dylan, likes to obscure the truth and confuse interviewers and fans alike through elliptical answers and half-truths. Although White says he wants the focus to be on his music because that's what will make up his legacy, and we respect him for that, he's too interesting a character not to want to know more about. So, from being taught how to weld by Bob Dylan to the time he was interviewed by Buzz Aldrin, here are [...]

Jack White para SNL. A lo largo de la historia de la música hemos encontrado músicos, compositores y cantantes que llevan sus aficiones más allá, convirtiéndolas en obsesiones. Desde las matemáticas más oscuras y avanzadas hasta descifrar la fórmula de Kurt Cobain para escribir canciones. Estas manías muchas veces son las que han puesto a estos músicos en la mira y han hecho que logren composiciones legendarias. A continuación una lista con cinco genios musicales que han logrado que sus obsesiones se conviertan en algo más que locuras o simples prácticas excéntricas.

El músico y productor Jack White salvó al histórico  Masonic Temple de Detroit. Esta semana se reportó que un donante anónimo habría  pagado una gran deuda en impuestos que correspondían al teatro en cuestión, el más grande del mundo, salvándolo de ser vendido. Detrás de este acto caritativo estaba el nombre del ex White Stripes , oriundo de esa ciudad. Según ABC News , el buen gesto del músico se debió al profundo significado que [...]

Bel gesto di Jack White che ha donato 142.000 dollari per salvare il Tempio Massonico a Detroit Il Tempio Massonico di Detroit (Masonic Temple) è un luogo dove si sono esibiti moltissimi artisti internazionali negli anni scorsi, da Jimi Hendrix ai The Who passando per i Rolling Stones. E Jack White è intervenuto, in prima persona, proprio prima che fosse messo all'asta. Ma cosa è successo per arrivare ad un punto simile? Dopo alcuni accertamenti, l'edificio è stato quasi chiuso nel 2013 dopo la notizia che i proprietari dovevano versare 142,000 dollari in tasse [...]

Detroit rocker Jack White probably has a lot of money from his massive success with bands you may have heard of like The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather, not to mention his solo career. But rather than spending his fortunes on totally reasonable things like cutting lines at Disney World , like you and I might have done, he decided to make an anonymous donation to pay off the $142,000 tax bill that was threatening to bring the Detroit Masonic Temple into foreclosure. White made the donation out of a love for the building [...]

White Stripes man Jack White sure has been in a charitable mood lately. First he reissued tons of pre-war blues recordings for no profit, then he offered to press the Great Gatsby soundtrack on actual gold and platinum vinyl , now he's gone and saved a Masonic Temple in his hometown of Detroit from closure. The  Detroit's Masonic Temple  was recently under threat after being unable to pay a $142,000 tax bill. But luckily White, whose mother used to work there as [...]

It was reported over the weekend that an anonymous donor paid $142K in back taxes owed by Detroit's Masonic Temple, the largest of its kind in the world, saving it from foreclosure. The white (stripe) knight behind the charitable act was none other than Motor City native Jack White. According to ABC News station WXYZ , White was inspired to help out because of the temple's significance to him growing up (his mother was an usher there and they both "share a 'profound love for the gothic structure'") and as a performer, as he has played numerous [...]

Jack White has saved the largest Masonic temple in the world from a $142,000 tax debt. Apparently, the Detroit structure had racked up quite the bill and was set for foreclosure until an anonymous donor stepped in to pay their debt. Now, Masonic Officials have announced that it was the former White Stripes frontman who [...]

Here's another reason for Alec to love Jack White : According to the Detroit Free Press , the Third Man Records figurehead and Detroit native is the anonymous donor who paid off $142,000 in back taxes owed by the Detroit Masonic Temple, thus preventing its foreclosure. White's connection to the Temple stretches many years, as he's performed there both as a solo artist and member of The White Stripes. What's more, White's mother worked there as a mother. In light of the donation, the Masonic Temple Association has [...]

Por: @LGKING La música siempre ha sido una parte muy importante dentro de la filmografía del cineasta Baz Lurhmann . Basta con recordar los soundtracks de Moulin Rogue! o Romeo + Julieta para darnos cuenta de lo que le gusta a Lurhmann. En la primera hicieron un musical repleto de éxitos de la cultura pop que iban desde Kiss hasta Nirvana , mientras que la historia de los amantes atormentados era contada con éxitos noventeros. El patrón es obvio y brillante, utilizar música contemporánea para actualizar una [...]

By Tom Fake 15, May 2013 The Hot Five – My views on five tracks that have attracted my interest in any given week, usually with an older track thrown in the mix for something a bit different. Tracks usually concentrate on pop/rock releases, but really focusing on anything and everything that comes my way. Royal Canoe - 'Bathtubs' Okay, so this is a song that has its fingers in so many musical pies. Even in the opening exchanges [...]

Earlier this year, Jack White' s Third Man Records partnered with blues label Document Records for an extensive reissue campaign involving artists such as Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell, and The Mississippi Sheiks. Now, Third Man Records has forged a similar partnership with Tennessee's Sun Records to reissue 45rpm 73s from its iconic catalog. The initial three releases include Johnny Cash's 1956 "Get Rhythm", which featured the little known B-Side "I Walk the Line"; Rufus Thomas' 1953 single "Bear Cat" featuring Joe Hill Louis on guitar; and The Prisonaires' 1953 single [...]

The Blues, the beginning of Rock and Rock as we now know it. It's a musical genre, a feeling, a philosophy, and for some, a way of life. The Blues can lift you up one day only to describe an awful feeling inside the next. From 'Blues Power' to 'Folsom Prison Blues' the music is a powerful medium through which many men and women have articulated the highs and lows of life on earth. Below are my top ten Blues musicians of all time ranging from the originator Robert Johnson to the modern day shredder Jack White. 1. [...]
