The Dead Weather

July 28th, 2009

I was pretty excited to hear about The Dead Weather at first. I adore the voice of The Kills girl and I’m a fan of The White Stripes and The Racounteurs. Jack White has a huge space inside him for music. As you can expect, their debut Horehoundthe dead weather (buy it here) is a dirty, alternative blues rock record with some hellheavy guitars and the dark sexyness of Alison Mosshart. The pace of the album changes a lot, there are very slow songs and there are faster ones. Throughout, you can feel the desert, cowboys shooting each other, wild west brothels and strange trains running at night. The album takes you back to some weird semi-imaginary roots of rocknroll. It must’ve been a time when the devil still came to the Earth and abducted women who were wandering alone in the desert. You could get them back if you head a gun because the devil was also vulnerable. As much as the sound goes back to some musical roots, it tries to catch some roots of darkness in the soul too. Sexuality, seduction, vengence, blood… Every song has the ghosts of wild west dancing in the background. Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits would be proud as well as Janis Joplin and maybe Nico. On the downside, the album is a bit too much. It’s biggest strengt is the tracks hanging together very well but it’s really hard to listen to the whole at once. Here you go, my favourite track is Bone House, this guitar is sick… (If it’s a guitar at all.) This is like a sandstorm! Or a tornado. Actually, remember the song My Tornado by The Raveonettes? The first album? They have something in common.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
