White Stripes - Icky Thump

http://www.mojo4music.com/

"Three weeks. The longest The White Stripes have ever taken on an album. And, after a short-ish wait, three tracks from the band's new set, Icky Thump, were previewed on March 2 in London at a showcase hosted by the band's label, XL.

Held at the Revue Bar in Soho, the tracks provided the centrepiece to a lunchtime music industry gathering designed to highlight XL's forthcoming releases for 2007. Preceded by Dizzee Rascal's impressive new video for Sirens, two tracks by MIA and home video footage of Devandra Banhart working on his new album, a film of Jack and Meg White was shown, featuring the couple recording their sixth album at Nashville's Blackbird Studio.

The walloping title track provided a pounding introduction to an album that marks the band's return to their previous guitar heavy sound, the anthemic You Don't Know What Is Love marked itself out as a patented piece of Jack White pop noir, while the grandiose final track of the three, Conquest, featured a remarkable guitar and trumpet duel."

"John C. Reilly is walking pretty hard these days as Dewey Cox in "Walk Hard," a parody based on the "poor boy with musical talent does good then gets into drugs and goes downhill and then redeems himself and does good again" storyline.

We got an email today with some news on casting of the film. Seems Jack White of the White Stripes is making an appearance as Elvis Presley. Will Ferrell and Jack Black are also rumored to have bit parts. Here ya go --

Jack White of the White Stripes has just filmed (or will shortly film) a cameo in Jake Kasdan's music-industry comedy "Walk Hard" starring John C. Reilly. White is playing Elvis Presley.

My source is 100% certain about the White cameo, but he also thought that Reilly's Oscar-night cronies Jack Black and Will Ferrell are also playing bit parts in the movie, probably as real-world musician figures as well.

I don't think this has been reported anywhere yet...

Hey if Kurt Russell can play Elvis, so can Jack White. White and his Stripes counterpart Meg, reunite this summer after a few years hiatus at the Bonnaroo Music and Art Festival."

My favorite part about the White Stripes is that they don't feel pressured by the public. They get a mega-hit with Seven Nation Army, and then they come out and release Get Behind Me Satan. About as thouroughly unexpected as you can get. This album looks to be no different.

Meg White is so smoldering hot, it's unreal.  When they played at Headliner's ages ago (2000?), she was selling the merch.  I was two feet away from her and she was smoking a cigarette, sitting at the table, and I was mesmerized.  Smoking never looked sexier.

Anyone else think Meg White is hot?

Meg's pretty cool, I guess.  Still why Jack dumped her for these skinny red-headed women is beyond me...


Still, Congrats Jack & Karen on the babies!  :D

They're gonna be the palest babies ever.

I'm not the least bit attracted to Renee Zellweger. Of course this shouldn't matter if she's a good actor. I say if because I can't think of any movie i've seen with her in it.

No doubt she'll be broken hearted to learn that  ;)

Meg is SO hot!!!

uuuuuuuhhhh...wow. I felt the spirit move in me after watching that. Don't know if it was from the amazing bouncing toms or the fact that Jack White is a fucking man possessed in that video.

oh and I want that guitar.
