I'm trying to save you from all of the things that I'll probably say or do
So far I've been posting lots of things that came out many years ago, which is fine because there's some damn good stuff that came out many years ago. That is not to say there's not damn good things being released right now as well. A friend of mine, who knows the insane reaches of my eclectic musical tastes was pretty shocked to find out that I liked the White Stripes album. I don't know if that says something about him or about me, but the fact is I've liked every White Stripes album, but the just released Icky Thump is simply amazing.
Of course I don't write off certain parallels with song themes and things going on in my life which make many of the tracks (on this as well as the earlier Racontours album) more poignant to me but whatever, that's how some of my favorite songs became just that. So, to set the record straight, and also to risk much psychoanalysis from close friends, I'm posting a track from the new White Stripes record. This one "A Martyr For My Love For You" has been on my iPod since the moment I got it several weeks ago and I keep finding myself playing it 3-4 times in a row. Lyrical attachments aside, this song flat out rocks. You'll notice the kinda-quite-breaking-into-totally-rocking-it hooks that I seem to be so fond of. So yeah, there you have it. Enjoy.
