i have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. im alone. why do i care so much? makes me cry. ok, emotion. bad. push it out of the way.
*ahem*. anyways, the magnificent white stripes have done it again!
went out and bought "icky thump" today. yes, i actually bought a cd. i only do that for bands i really, really like. it is simply amazing. a lot of raw energy, but not raw sound, as their music before 'get behind me satan was'. interestingly enough, their new developments and growth has not hindered their talent or their image. i'm really liking the guitar jack has put into everything. wonderful, catchy riffs, but more complex, and with some distortion that i've only heard him use in his work with the raconteurs. the majority of the album has a bluesy vibe, but with diverse songs. one even sounds like they have an entire mariachi band accompanying them. i guess there's no songs i dont' like, but there are certainly ones i like better, such as '300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues.' here's the first part of it:
i'm calling out to ghosts
that are no longer there.
i'm getting hard on myself,
sitting in my easy chair.
well there's three people
in the mirror
and i'm wondering
which one of them should i choose.
but i can't keep from laughing
spitting out these three hundred m.p.h.
outpour blues
(insert few more verses)
put on gloves, a tight scarf
and wrap up warm
on this winter night,
every time you get defensive,
you're just looking for a fight.
it's safe to say somebody out there's
got a problem with anything you'll do.
well, next time they stab you
dont' fight back
just play the victim,
instead of playing the fool
no idea why, but i feel i can relate to that. a very easy going, but consistent, almost gives you the feeling of trudging, type song. of course, with a few random screaming guitar riffs. gotta love jack. i demand that everybody go out and get the new album. also check out 'icky thump', their first single off of it, 'little cream soda', which has a nice heavy feel to it, and 'rag and bone', which is funny. i <3>

I was going to wait and comment on this later, so that I don't seem like the nerd that is constantly checking other people blogspots, but whatever. I agree that the white stripes are AMAZING, I thnk that it is very cool that you are supporting the band by actually purchasing the CD.
I know that alone feeling. It is one of the wirt that there is. I have had the exact same feeling in the pits of my stomach. But you have to trust me, you're not alone. There are people all around you that care. trying to push emotion out of the way? I would like to suggest you not do that. Bottling up frustrations and anger is unhealthy. Emotion is a good thing. Without it, think of how dull life would be... I hope you feel better soon... I am always here for you, if you need me...
