| | White Stripes CD White Stripes Discography of CDs
Who knew such a stripped down sound, recorded on a tight budget, could deliver such a powerful rock & roll record? The White Stripes, a "brother and sister" guitar-and-drum duo from Detroit, here accomplish the seemingly impossible. Their debut record incorporates the sounds of classic bands such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and the Kinks, merging them with the subterranean sounds of early '60s Texas punk. The result is a rock & roll disc crackling with a kind of dysfunctional energy.
The band's original compositions, including the EXILE ON MAIN STREET-styled "Sugar Never Tasted So Good," the surf-rocker "Astro," and the overdriven screamer, "The Big Train Killed My Baby," are all first-rate garage rockers. But on THE WHITE STRIPES, it's the well-chosen covers--a phenomenal reading of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee," and a blistering version of Robert Johnson's "Stop Breaking Down"--that truly shine.
Recorded at Ghetto Recorders, Cass Corridor, Detroit, Michigan in January 1999.
The White Stripes: Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano); Meg White (drum).

Purchase White Stripes CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Elliott Smith Either/Or CD (1997)
White Stripes
 $12.45    
This singer/songwriter can say more with a whisper than most folks can with a scream. The gently insinuating despair of Smith's work communicates volumes about the heartbreak and alienation that is the bane of 20th century boys with too much time on their hands. Smith's day job fronting the aggressive post-punk band Heatmiser provides him with the necessary yang to produce the quiet, evocative yin of his solo work.
On EITHER/OR, Smith observes a production ethic that retains a lo-fi looseness without sacrificing any sonic clarity. His songs of loss and loneliness have the broken-poet aura of Smog or Mark Eitzel, but he offsets the gloom with a hatful of damnably catchy melodies and progressions, turning suffering into pop and making it signify.

| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
White Stripes
$11.99
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.

| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
White Stripes
$12.05 
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology.
Recording information: Hotel 2 Tango (08/2003-??/2004); Win & Regine's Apartment, Montreal, Canada (08/2003-??/2004).
Photographer: Hilary Treadwell.
Arcade Fire: William Butler (synthesizer, xylophone, bass instrument, percussion); Richard Reed Parry (double bass); Win Butler (bass guitar); Rgine Chassagne, Howard Bilerman.

| | White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan CD (2005)
White Stripes
$9.79
Between 2003's hugely successful ELEPHANT and 2005's GET BEHIND ME SATAN, White Stripes frontman Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's Grammy-winning VAN LEAR ROSE and contributed a handful of tracks to the bluegrass-heavy COLD MOUNTAIN soundtrack. While GET BEHIND ME SATAN certainly isn't a country album, it does highlight White's fascinatingly unpredictable nature. With the exception of a few songs (including the blistering single "Blue Orchid"), Jack leaves his electric six-string in the garage, opting to roam around with his acoustic guitar (as on the gentle "As Ugly As I Seem") or settle into a marimba- or piano-led melody. As always, Meg White is on hand with her wonderfully unpolished, cymbal-heavy drumming, providing the perfect foil for Jack's intense, mercurial presence. With its quirky narratives about ghosts, nurses, and Rita Hayworth, SATAN is a restless record, and the duo uses that energy to ...
| | White Stripes White Blood Cells CD (2001)
White Stripes
$9.69
In an age where rock is becoming progressively more slick and studio enhanced, it's quite refreshing to see a band like White Stripes come up from the underground and play raw, sloppy, and soulful rock & roll the way it was meant to be played--straight out of the garage. On the Stripes' third album WHITE BLOOD CELLS, their songwriting and playing has become more focused and slightly more accessible than on their earlier releases (1999's self titled debut and 2000's DE STIJL). This is evidenced by such selections as "The Same Boys You've Always Known" and "We're Going to be Friends." But White Stripes' earlier direction can still be detected on several cuts, most noticeably on the cut "Now Mary." With the release of WHITE BLOOD CELLS, White Stripes are getting closer and closer to perfecting and bringing their modern blues-rock craft and bringing it to the masses.

| | White Stripes De Stijl CD (2000)
White Stripes
$9.09
Detroit's own "brother and sister" drum-and-guitar duo broke out of local obscurity with their eponymous debut, a primitive garage romp that borrowed liberally from Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, various American bluesmen and other rock & roll stalwarts. With DE STIJL, the band eschews its earlier raw posings in favor of blues with a hint of art rock.
DE STIJL (literally translated, "the style," a European art movement that praises the virtue of simplicity in design), hints at a band that plays its music guided by simplicity in form and function. The 13 songs on DE STIJL show this stripped-down duo coming into their own with more complex arrangements and more varied instrumentation. DE STILJ features an electric violin, harmonica, and piano (played by singer Jack White). All in all, DE STIJL offers more dynamic range and melody than the band's debut and a (comparatively) slick production. From the confectionery pop bounce of "You're Pretty Good Looking," to the blues howler, "Hello Operator," to the dirge-like "Death Letter," DE STIJL is one step ...

White Stripes
$15.29
This 2006 concert took place at the Polish shipyards were Lech Walesa and his Solidarity Movement made their first impact in 1980, and it celebrates the spirit of that revolution. It also celebrates the spirit of Gilmour's former band, Pink Floyd. The show opens with Gilmour leading his band through a batch of tunes from Floyd's classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON before launching into his most recent solo album, ON AN ISLAND, in its entirety. The second disc returns to the Floyd catalog, cherry-picking Syd Barrett-era psychedelic gem "Astronomy Domine," prog-rock epic "Echoes," and staples like "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb." LIVE IN GDANSK also ended up as an unintentional elegy to Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, who joins Gilmour here, and died days before the release of this, his last recorded performance.
Lyricists: David Gilmour; Polly Samson.
Personnel: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar, saxophone); Phil Manzanera (vocals, guitar, guitars); Guy Pratt (vocals, guitar, bass guitar); Jon Carin (vocals, lap steel guitar, keyboards, programming); Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards); Steve DiStanislao (vocals, drums); Hanna Bereza, Anna Sliwa, Ewa Baranowska, Miroslawa Sobczak, Lidia Zawadzka, Malgorzata Piotrowska, Bozena Kwasiborska, Marek Kordas, Joanna Szmit Macidlowska, Sylwia Kolinska, Wieslawa Merong Calusinska, Bozena Pruss Czaja, Henryka Orzechowska Cichosz, Robert Kwiatowski, Pawel Kapica, Piotr Staniszewski, Tomasz Diakun, Krystyna Rychlicka, Eliza Napierala (violin); Marek Czulak, Lukasz Lisowski, Marzena Kaczmar Kaminska, Ewa Fredrich, Karmelita Wojciechowska, Elzbieta, Maria Wiczynska, Sylwia Cieslinska, Anna Reinholz (viola); Blazej Golinski, Malgorzata Bellwon, ...

| | Like A Martyr North CD (2008)
White Stripes
$9.35
"The full-tilt, no-shit guitar rock on The North has the heady feel of first love...Please, rock is dead, until a four-piece like this resurrects it by virtue of sheer infatuation and zeal...Like a Martyr know how to put together a four-on-the-floor rocker and then kick you in the pants seat with it." -The Georgia Straight (Adrian Mack) "...riffmongers Like A Martyr (are serious contenders) for the title of Vancouver's most kick-ass new rock band." -The Georgia Straight (Steve Newton) “From the first spin of Like A Martyr’s “And By Coffee I Mean Drugs,” we were hooked, much like coffee or drugs…their brand of danceable and energetic rock is eclectic and catchy as hell. “And By Coffee I Mean Drugs” rocketed to number one on our Evolving 20, and the recently added “Elizabeth” is poised to do the same." -Kristina Mameli, Music Director, Evolution 107.9 FM \"The North is well polished, well played and confident. This is good time hard rock at it’s best...\" -The Discorder (Nathan Pike) “Like A Martyr puts the image of 70s rock and givin‘er into my brain...it won’t be long before they’re invading the airwaves.” -Consumableaudio.comLike A Martyr’s sound is influenced by the raw power of Motorhead, by the stripped down blues of Muddy Waters, by the simplistic stomp of AC/DC and by the rock ‘n roll swagger of T.Rex.Like A Martyr is an anxiety-driven neurotic, striving for perfection, drinking and laughing all the while. Like A Martyr is swaggering, thumping, clapping, pulsating, kicking, screaming, falling, rejoicing, staggering and stomping to their rightful place in the rock ‘n roll mosaic.The Vancouver band’s first full-length release, “The North” was released in September 2008. The song “And By Coffee I Mean Drugs” has surged up the charts at 107.9 Evolution in Burnaby, BC, reaching the 1 position on February 7th, 2009, beating out the likes of the Black Keys, Sam Roberts and Kings of Leon .
