Video: The White Stripes - "Fell in Love with a Girl"

This week I will post a few videos for a change of pace. First up a quirky, peculiar video from a Canadian Indie Rock band with a dash of Garage and a peppering of Pop called The Ruby Spirit. The band currently has a six track EP available titled Born under a Veil . The video for "Cagliari" is a stop motion created video that was done by Mike Walter. For more info you can visit http://www.therubyspirit.com/ . The Ruby Spirit - Caligari from [...]

Jack White is already a living legend in music. Though he constantly evolves his style through different bands and collaborations, he manages to remain true to his blues and rock beginnings. Indie and mainstream fans alike embrace his talent, along with his mysterious introverted personality. It's certainly not too presumptuous to consider him rock royalty, having had the Midas touch when it comes to all of his musical endeavors. The many configurations of Jack White's musical genius range from soloist to supergroups and a few others in between. With The White Stripes saying [...]

Por Ana Clara Matta e Marina Bastos Em plena era de webcasts, o Projeto Unstaged é o de maior destaque e também o de maior audácia. Em sua quarta edição, a iniciativa de unir bandas com cineatas conceituados transmite hoje, 31 de maio, o show do My Morning Jacket , dirigido por Todd Haynes (de I'm Not There ). Nas edições anteriores ocorreram as uniões de Arcade Fire com Terry Gilliam (Monty Phyton), The Roots com Spike Lee (Do the right Thing) e a inusitada [...]

Os White Stripes anunciaram oficialmente a sua separação no dia 2 de Fevereiro no seu Website. "The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health. It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special [...]

So whilst I've been off dealing with Shitfest 2011, The White Stripes decided to call it a day, and according to The Grauniad , there's been much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Which, I have to say, surprises me a little bit. First off, whilst the whole idea of White Stripes - the stripped down alt-blues-swamp-rock, the dress code (including bouncers), the vintage recording material, and all the rest - made for some great songs, a fantastic live experience and the rest, but when was the last time you listened to a White Stripes album all [...]

• The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl

Waking up to the news that The White Stripes have called it quits isn't the best way to wake up. I can't say it's surprising news, though. The band didn't seem interested in doing much together anymore. Even so, I didn't think they would just end it like this. The band posted the grim news on their site saying that the breakup isn't for a fight or differences. Rather, it's to preserve the memory of The White Stripes. They say The White Stripes are now ours, and we can do whatever we want with their memory. Read the [...]

This is a new section i've decided to start. I've had it planned in my head for ages now and i have a few friends willing to be "interviewed" on their music tastes etc. First in line to be grilled is Simon..... SIT WOLF: Describe music in 5 or less words. SIMON: Constantly evolving but still appealing. SIT WOLF: What was the first album you bought? SIMON: I remember buying Orbital's debut album in a [...]

Jack White has certainly had some well-publicized beefs in the past, but this major beef that started with a smack-down on the Air Force Reserve and beat its way down to a lone Salt Lake City-based 56-year-old ad and film musician named Kem Kraft . It all started when The White Stripes took great offense to a recent Air Force Reserve advertisement that aired during the Super Bowl containing a song that sounded eerily similar to "Fell In Love with a Girl." This prompted the band [...]

So did you catch that ridiculous-looking Air Force Reserve TV ad on Super Bowl Sunday, or were you getting more chips from the pantry? (Don't lie, we know you love chips. Check it out here .) Well, if you didn't, here's a quick summary: there's a bunch of guys doing a bunch of EXTREME STUFF to the White Stripes' "Fell In Love With a Girl" - or, rather, a really shitty instrumental cover. How "bad" is it? Let's put it this way: imagine one of those "Shredding" videos on YouTube, only if they were totally not a joke at [...]

This court will now come to order in the case of The White Stripes vs. the United States Air Force. That's what may be said in a court of law if Jack White goes through with the claim. The Third Man master has called out the Air Force Reserve for allegedly taking the song "Fell In Love With A Girl" and re-recording it for music they used in a Super Bowl ad (via TwentyFourBit ). Third Man Records issued the following statement: We believe our song was re-recorded [...]

Pitchfork named the White Stripes' "Fell In Love With a Girl" the best video of the decade. At the moment, I can't think of a better one. But I'll give it some thought. Discuss. Fell In Love With A Girl - The White Stripes

If we're to glean anything from Pitchfork's Top 50 videos of the 2000's it's the comfort that one great music video can launch a career ( OK Go aka that treadmill band) as quickly as one sub par album can cause collective amnesia ( OK Go aka that treadmill band). We also learn that Christopher Walken can in fact dance and given the opportunity and/or inclination he can also levitate, little known fact that. We're taught that Weezer will fight for our attention by any memes necessary, R Kelly's foray into the world [...]

Love them or hate them, Pitchfork's decade in review, most notably their top 500 songs of the decade, has been heavily debated around the blogosphere. Today, we get their top 50 videos of the 2000s. Of course, their top 10 is going to inspire even more heated discussion. Pitchfork's #1 choice, the White Stripes' "Fell in Love With a Girl" holds a special place for me, as I remember watching this video on my 10 inch TV during my freshman year of college and being stopped dead in my tracks. I had sort of started listening [...]

On this day in 1958, the patent for the Lego brick was filed . Of course, pop music's most important use of the toy brick came when Michel Gondry released his video for the White Stripes ' "Fell In Love With A Girl," but what about the amateur Lego artistes? The guys toiling over each frame in their basements to perfectly sync their efforts up with a Rammstein track? Today is their day to shine. "Thriller," Michael Jackson : [...]
