The White Stripes - Icky Thump

I heard this "song" (I use the pfrase lightly with as much sarcasm as I can type) on the radio the other night for the first time. All in all I must say this is the worst thing to happen to music since that sweater song that Therese posted a few months ago. Had I heard this back then I most definately would have won seeing as there is NOTHING that can hurt a humans ears more than this.

You know, if they didn't have the weird sythesizery stuff on there, I'd like this song much more. I really like the White Stripes, but really I prefer their first few albums to the last few.

I have to say though, if you think this is worse for music than boy bands, I gotta wonder about you. *wink*

Ok Ok. So I completely forgot about boy bands.

I'm like you though in that if they didn't have those awful synthesized sounds it probably wouldn't be bad. But I just can't get passed that sound.

You know, I'm just going to pretend you didn't even put this post up here. In fact, I'm going to watch this video again and bask in the knowledge that *I* could be a drummer in a rock band when there are people like Meg White playing like this. Because even though she's no super talent, the track rocks. And I dig it, mister! Dig it!

I'm going to go ahead and pretend that a person as kick ass and hot as you actually likes this "song". But you go ahead and watch this video all you want to. I'm pok with that. Just for the fact that I can't here it when you play it at your house.

I think I had a Casio keyboard that sounded like that back in junior high school.

I don't mind the song, really. Not as good as other earlier White Stripes stuff, but not bad.
