Video: White Stripes "Icky Thump"
Since we've already announced the release of the White Stripes' new album, revealed the tracklist, unveiled the cover, reviewed an mp3 of the first single and reported the tour dates, it's only right that we show you the video for "Icky Thump," eh? This one is a delightful romp to match one of Jack and Meg's best-ever singles. And best of all, your Spanish-speaking kid brother can follow along with the subtitles!

Best ever singles? Really? I've listened a bunch more times since I wrote the track review, and it still sounds like a stop and start mess to me. Also, I know they were never brother and sister, but it still creeps me out that jack is going to see Meg the prostitute.
Jeff Klingman
Ha. I agree. Although the song is growing on me.

I've never cared much for the White Stripes, so the fact that this track grabbed me makes me think it's something special. Maybe it's just the chorus riff. Maybe I'm just comin' around. I'm not buying the album either way.

Track is okay. Nothing new. Zeppelin love as usual. One wonders how long these two can keep this up.And what's with the political subtext of the song/video? Looks like Jack took Kele Okerke lambasting him for not getting involved in politics.

Funny thing, I was also thinking about Kele during that video. I've really liked the White Stripes since they came out, and I actually agree that this is one of their more exciting singles - the last few were really easy to latch onto (Blue Orchid, Seven Nation Army blah blah), but the fact that they were so simple also made me get sick of them really quickly. This one's kind of a mess, but I think it'll be harder to get sick of because it's harder to memorize the song. The first time I heard it, I thought "wow." And I still think that.Also, in this video Jack White is more expressive/happier (?) looking than I remembered.

Dudes a genius and a testament to that is how much music he puts out a year and continues to stay true to himself and his music. Lot's of bands make records, but only a few are able to constantly make hits. Seeing the White Stripes live is also a spectacle. How many fucking instruments can one man play??? (apparently Meg only plays one, :D )

Also, Jack should smack the shite out of Kele Pele or whatever his name is like he did that twat in the We're Worse Than The 4 Non Blondies.

Hits matter?
Dave Park
Hit's to the face, mainly. :D

buy the album, don't suck.
