dear god people
It seems war has broken out on my site! Ha ha, it just makes me giggle that I am vaguely playing host over an arguement over NI blogging. Fantastic. But, as all the Edinburgh girls would say, back to me.
White Stripes - brilliant, even though I had no clue what half the songs were, since a lot came from White Blood Cells, which I only stole last week. They did play Hotel Yorba though, which was fantastic. And Jack was suitably weird about his "sister Meg", and how whatever made her happy, made him happy. And other such strange nonsense. Coupled with extremely tight red trousers. Pity that there was no Jet though. In fact, darn right shame.
Ok, so what is it with guys that their two favourite lines, often used in quick succession, are "you're so cool", as if they have never met anyone like me before, followed by "I've never met anyone like you before". Right, I could believe that, if I didn't know so many damn people who are just like me, but far cooler and far nicer and far funnier. So it is clearly such a line. And for the record, it doesn't work. Especially when coming from the flatmate of an ex. Not smooth.
Okay, off to bed. Countdown to The Boy: 18hours - woohoo!!

White Blood Cells is *vastly* superior to Elephant. It takes the best of the the previous two, distills (*snigger*) it into the essence of what the Stripes are.
Music. While not quite safer territory (yes, I am an indie elitest NME-reading music snob) surely must be less, well, inflammatory than other things I say.
So what where the New York Dolls like then? Crumbly and too old and never should have reformed?

Show off!! You're just smarting because she saw them & you didn't. :-P :-P

Glad you enjoyed it and I am jealous, especially because the weather was good for it, too!
Well, slightly jealous, but my inherent tightness didn't allow me to pay the extortionate cost. Still, I will be in Engerland soon, with the access to gigs I used to get. Oh, Ms. BroomOfAnger, did I mention PJ Harvey was playing like two miles from where I will be? Huh? And no doubt will return, unlike to here...
Oh, and *cough* Ms I-don't-Like-The-White-Stripes-And-Now-I-Do. But don't you agree White Blood Cells is better?
I like em all baby. By the time I got WBC (thank you very very much), I already got over my problems with Elephant. Great stuff all of it.
new york dolls were a lot more, well, mild, ok, easy to listen to than I though they would be. Almost, well, pop-ish. Obviously not in a Brit-dog kinda way, but more a Libertines kinda way. I have to admit, I'm not an informed opinion, since I've never heard a NYD track before, but they were defn not PUNK
The 'Dolls weren't punk, I'd say they were glam rock or something (I'm not up on the NME taxonomy, sorry). (Speaking as someone who only has one of their CDs... er, long-players? 78s? What were they called back then, Merk?)
Yes, I'm also of similar inherent tightness to not pay thirty odd quid to go and see the White Stripes. I was considering it to see PJ Harvey, but I couldn't do it... I did pay £18 to see BRMC though, for some reason, so I guess £20 is my "taking the piss" threshold...
