This song is consuming my mind. It's making me feel optimistic yet at the same time scared. It is, at the same time, eerie and uplifting. This is a near-perfect song. Fuck that, it's perfect, especially as the first track on the album. At least that's how I feel about it as of now.
Jack White's side project with lead singer of the Kills: The Dead Weather
The singer, Allison Mosshart, has a very haunting and beautiful voice. I feel like she's in my head. I feel like I've written the music in my head before, but it was stolen from me. Everything is so congruent with my music sensibilities. This shit is spooky. This shit is sexy. I wish I had written this song. I want to form a new band just to cover it.
Why do I split things into such extremes, when the only thing I'm certain about is vagueness?
Here's an actual music video of theirs...although it's described as a "short film." I think they cut a little bit out of the song for this video, but it still kicks ass. It's a little cheesy, maybe...but isn't everything cheesy? This song has a little more of the Stripes feel to it, although when the Stripes had a female vocalist in their songs it would usually be Meg, and while I enjoyed her voice also, she never appeared even half as confident behind the mic as Allison is on every song on this album. (I think there's one song that only Jack sings in though.) The abrupt change in the middle is epic...and I'm not one of those douchebags that abuses that word.
I think Jack and Allison have way more chemistry than he and Meg do. With the Stripes it seemed as if Jack was pulling 90% of the weight most of the time.
I will never ever get used to the sound of people crunching ice in their mouth. Why the fuck do they do that?
I got the Criterion Collection version of Brazil a week or so ago. Still haven't watched it. I was attracted to it by the imagery (of the movie, not the box itself). I have no idea what it's about. But it's Terry Gilliam and at least in the case of Fear and Loathing I think he let the imagery muddy up the story...but that's because the imagery was so intense and memorable. I'm a more visual person anyway.
