The place where the unconventional became conventional.
The people were glamorous. The parties, legendary.

Brilliant


Sometimes you just get lucky. A few days ago I happened upon Phone Joan. This blues band from Oslo, Norway has the sexiest sound. It's raunch. It's interesting. They sound like Dead Weather but grittier. I haven't been able to stop listening. If you can find their track, "Scary Dog" it's amazing. This is their first video, "Fast Lane." If Jack White had babies, this is what they'd sound like.

Also, Jack White loves the ballet. The White Stripes ballet! OMFG. Brilliant! The National Ballet of Canada will be performing Chroma a ballet danced to avant garde orchestral arrangements of music by The White Stripes. It was impossible to get tickets when it was performed by The Royal Ballet in London in 2006. I read Jack White gave the project his blessing and considers it a great honour. A modern classic rock ballet. I have to go.
