Jack White, marry me please. I'm sure we can live happily ever after.

I'm a little disappointed with The Dead Weather's second album. Man, even saying that out loud makes me feel blasphemous. It's not a bad album actually, a bad Jack White album is equivalent to 432, 672, 318 times of the best album from U2 after all, but I wish they would surpass the dirty, raw sound of Horehound in this record. Don't get me wrong, Sea of Cowards is dirty and raw and gritty and brooding too but oh well, I was expecting more. I think it's because Jack White wants people to stop pointing out how The Dead Weather is his third best band so he limits his creativity juices and allows others to interfere. I read somewhere that Jack White contributes zero guitar-playing in this album.

One thing is for certain though, Jack White never fails to deliver. So even with a lazier guitar-playing and questionable lyrics, this album is still great. If you say otherwise, I'm gonna kick your butt myself. Trust.

If you have 75 hours to kill, please, please, please watch their live recording from Third Man Records. Simply amazing, man. The songs sound better live than in the album. Yeah, they're that awesome. Even the video for Die By the Drop is out of this world.





You know, I think that 26 years from now, we're going to look at Jack White with the same, if not more, awe we're looking at Jimi Hendrix now. I do think that Jack White is going to leave a bigger legacy than Hendrix though so only time will tell how the future generation will think of my future ex-husband. And no I'm not wishing death on him.

Anyway, have you ever worked on getting something and when it was within your reach, you just realised that you were only in it for the chase and not the prize?

Because that's what I'm feeling right now. I'm so confused. I mean, I used to think that I wanted this so badly I was prepared to fight dirty, but when I got it...hmmm...let's just say, I'm having second thoughts.

Lalang betul.
