THE WHITE STRIPES: Icky Thump

Jack and Meg are back! Icky Thump leads the new self title long player from the Detroit duo and brings the back-to-basics blue alt-rock magic back to the fore. Does it ring of Seven National Army seminal iconic life-changing magnitude? Well no. But it is a psychedelic freak fry of grinding guitars and a steady throbbing kick drum. The Spanish subtitled carnival magic is brought to podcast screen courtesy of directing band of brothers, The Malloys. Watch the music video (qt).

THE WHITE STRIPES: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

This is a video that slots into that timeless kinda zone. Prompted by the recent internet spillage of their new single, Icky Thump, this is bluesy stipper-friendly single from their Elephant record is, in fact, a clever Burt Bacharach cover. And when I say stipper-friendly, I can only mean the waif-iest of strippers. Directed by Sofia Coppola, the 'former' coke hoovering Kate Moss twists, bends, and cavorts her way into our collective memory thanks to this stunning black and white striper.

THE WHITE STRIPES: The Denial Twist

Stretchy, twisted and wildly narcotic fever dream music video as envisioned by the incomparable director Michel Gondry. Who would have thought Conan O'Brien would evey appear in a music video with Meg and Jack? And with his bigger, square-er head, no doubt. Watch the video (real).

THE WHITE STRIPES: The Doorbell

Fresh new single from the Detroit blues rock duo. Jack White has a blended appearance of a Charlie Chan meets Willie Wonka circa Johnny Depp. Great track but creepy with the golden ticket chocolate factory kids. Watch the video (qt).
