It's no secret that I love me some White Stripes and shower them with fanboy-type praise nearly every opportunity I get. Well, tonight there's another good reason to do just that. A special 7" vinyl of the Stripes' "Rag and Bone" came packaged with the new issue of NME Magazine, which hit newsstands today. The 7" is the first official hard copy taste of the duo's highly anticipated new album Icky Thump, due June 18th. Although already released on iTunes, the physical copy of upcoming album's first single and awesome title track will be released on Tuesday. The full album is also becoming quite leaky, but don't tell Jack White...ole boy gets rather pissed (understandably, I suppose) about these things. While a number of the initial leaks were of rather low quality, excellent quality rips have started showing up on the intertubes as of late. I've resisted the temptation to seek out the suspect quality leaks because I don't wanna spoil the experience of first hearing this album by listening to crappy quality MP3s. As of this writing, I've only heard "Icky Thump" and "Rag and Bone". But based on the quality of these tunes, "I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman [and hold back] every day". (sorry, it was way too obvious)
"Rag and Bone" creeps in with a nice little blues boogie guitar line and brief dialogue between Jack and Meg. It steadily gains steam through the verse and chorus, followed by another bit of clever dialogue concerning the duo's ever-growing urge to get their hands on goods contained in the "mansion" introduced early in the song. The best snippet comes when Jack chides his counterpart with the hilarious, "Oh Meg, don't be rude" at the 2:30 point. Just listen to it, you'll definitely agree. The Stripes are the only band in the universe that could take a song this simple and turn it into a 3 minute, 45 second slice of brilliance that completely transcends its component parts. Forgive my "uber-hyperbole", but these guys make it super hard to disguise my excitement. Speaking of which, during the course of drafting this post, I've officially decided I cannot wait any longer to hear this album in its entirety. Please forgive me, Jack.
thanks for those articles, but i have to take offense to your implication that i don't "know what [I'm] talking about". I suppose before I get overly excited and drool all over a 3:45 second pop song I should extensively research the history of its subject matter and all its possible connotations.
By the way, you might wanna read these articles so you know how to properly use "your" and "you're"...
First, I guess I don’t understand how alluding to "the duo's ever-growing urge to get their hands on goods contained in the "mansion" introduced early in the song" equates to not understanding the lyrics of the song. You’re entirely correct that I could have made this BLOG POST a 1000+ word treatise on the history of rag-and-bone men and how this song-- which, in all reality, contains merely a playful reference to this historic phenomenon-- is infinitely more enjoyable upon being apprised of this type of minutiae. I'm sure that would have made for a thoroughly pleasant read.
Also, there's a slight chance I was being not a little sarcastic with that second statement. Was that not painfully obvious?
Implying that someone doesn't understand or adequately appreciate a rock 'n roll song simply because they neglect to fully discuss every possible angle or potential element therein is patently ridiculous. Where can we find your glorious, enlightening opinion on "Rag and Bone"? Oh yeah, I guess it's easier to hate on (from a safe distance) those who actually offer something to the discourse rather than producing anything of your own.
As far as my being "butt-hurt", you'll have to let me know exactly what that even means; I'm not quite sure what that cute (and blatantly homophobic) phrase signifies... But[t], I can gather it's simply a crass attempt to save some face after being criticized for failing 7th grade English.
i'm curious; just how many hits does your BLOG get per month? the fact that you continue to write long replies and go through the trouble of using a thesaurus to try and make yourself seem intelligent signifies to me that you are an insecure ignoramus with too much time on his hands.
on this same thread, the fact that i dont bother to use proper conventions or proofread my comments doesnt mean i failed english. it means i have a life.
Good one-- that argument had incredible bite and was immensely persuasive, to boot.
Yeah, it's an undisputed fact that studying for the Bar exam requires the bare minimum amount of time and effort. Consequently, it's safe to say this blog could actually be considered my full-time occupation.
Can you possibly be so dim that you are totally oblivious to the irony of an individual who makes a routine habit of posting negative and unnecessary comments on someone else's blog arguing they are the one with a life? You’ve got a mind-blowing and insanely novel perspective on things, there pal. Further, I can only imagine the kind of debauchery-laden, jet-setting lifestyle affords one these types of recreational activities.
The answer to your question, which incidentally is wholly irrelevant, is that the number of hits varies, but lately has been right around 5,000/week. Not that it matters either way or is something I'm concerned with. But, by all means, please keep visiting the site...I think you're in the running for the most returning visits.

Sorry, but you kinda asked for that one.
You make two different, contradictory arguments here.
1. That you do, in fact, know what you are talking about.
2. That you should be able to ramble on about a song when you don't even understand the lyrics. You shouldn't have to know what you are talking about.
Ah well, it's nothing to get all butt-hurt over.
Well, this is starting to become kind of fun...
