He drowned me into the flood of love. He said I looked like a lost and found Bambi. He said I was his Bambi. His clumsy sweet deergirl with innocent, diamond eyes and fragile dreams. His too clever lover, dangerously too similar to him, sometimes weak protegee. He said I was rough wind of darklakes land, too weird to be free. That’s what he said. And he also said, we were coming from the same northern unknown forests, from the same mystic forgotten wild mindwoods. He told me, I was lost but he would take me home. He was a truly darklove knight and taiga-desert rider. He was rowdy romantic and his time was ruthlessly running the wrong way. He was second from God. He was hardly none. And I loved him. More than anything. I loved him until one day again, he shot me to death. With his iron revolver. And wounded I was. And finally dead. Abbreviated from a Slavic Legend, Northern Lovestory called, “The diamond-eyed girl and his dark revolver lover”  Always loved this. While living in Finland I stumbled across this on a Finnish fashion/art site. Printed it off and kept it. Recently found my printed version (mine had the extended version that I typed and italicized above) and it now hangs lovingly in my cube.  Still missing Helsinki.

It was only a matter of time. But I’m ecstatic it’s happening sooner than I would have predicted.  Jack White solo album. This man can do no wrong in my book. Click the link and give the single a listen. With the White Stripes officially in the rearview, it’s time for Jack White’s solo LP. The record is called Blunderbuss and it’s out April 24 via Third Man/Columbia. In a press release, White said Blunderbuss is “an album I couldn’t have released until now. I’ve put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas.”

Jack White
Love Is Blindness (U2 Cover)

Jack White, “Love Is Blindness” (U2 Cover).

Jack White, you are far too talented for your own good. There shouldn’t even be a debate whether or not this version is better than the original. Of course, I may be partial as I’m not a U2 fan.

The cover appears on Q Magazine’s Achtung Baby Covered tribute album; Available with the magazine’s next issue, hitting shelves starting October 25th.

Entire tracklist (Again, I’m not a U2 fan. However, I am reveling in the greatness of this cover album and you should too):

1. Nine Inch Nails, “Zoo Station”
2. U2, “Even Better Than The Real Thing (Jacques Lu Cont Mix)”
3. Damien Rice, “One”
4. Patti Smith, “Until The End Of The World”
5. Garbage, “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses”
6. Depeche Mode, “So Cruel”
7. Snow Patrol, “Mysterious Ways”
8. The Fray, “Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World”
9. Gavin Friday, “The Fly”
10. The Killers, “Ultraviolet (Light My Way)”
11. Glasvegas, “Acrobat”
12. Jack White, “Love Is Blindness”
