Jack White Solo Debut 'Blunderbuss'

[Saracene]

Not blown away by the new song, but it's pleasant enough. Still would be curious to check out the album.

 

[phanan]

Not bad, but give me something loud.

 

[martha]

I concur.

 

[lazarus]

More like BlunderPUSS, amirite??

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The people that don't like this song can suck it.

Two minute pop goodness from Jack, with a sick keyboard part, some funny lyrics, some creepy backing vocals, and a nice, pointed structure.

The song is a show of restraint. He could have burst into some screaming electric guitar section at some point there, towards the last chorus, but he didn't.

Don't expose all your cards on the first trick.

Let's go.

 

[u2popmofo]

I didn't love it on first listen, but I've heard it 3 times now (once on the radio even), and like it quite a bit now.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I can see this song doing pretty well on the radio.

(At least on stations that play this kind of music.)

 

[LemonMelon]

Figures that Utah would jump right on this song.

[BoMac]

It's a B-side from the first single. I haven't listened to it yet as I'm at work. Any thoughts?

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm at work as well, don't know.

 

[Danny Boy]

Damn no-flash-having iPhone.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Not working for me. Maybe they already took it down.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm not too familiar with Hype Machine, but that's where all the links are sending us, and the song doesn't seem to be uploaded there anymore. Damn.

 

[mikal]

what if Jack White and Jack Black did a song together called "Unity"?

 

[martha]

No.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Boooooo

 

[lazarus]

[Danny Boy]

Found a working stream. Very Racounteurish.

Planet Ill ? Jack White: Machine Gun Silhouette

 

[martha]

I like it. It's really funny that "shelz" is saying it sounds like country.

A fiddle doesn't make it country.

 

[Danny Boy]

Agreed, Southern roots rock, maybe, but not country.

 

[martha]

Southern roots rock

I couldn't think of it, but that's it.

I can't believe I forgot about White's appearance on SNL last night.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I can't believe I forgot about White's appearance on SNL last night.

[the tourist]

The Disney Princesses part and Weekend Update had me in stitches.
