HEAR Jack White x Insane Clown Posse Collaboration (MP3)

Two things we don’t talk so much about here at URB are Jack White (too rock) and Insane Clown Posse (too ridiculous). But who are we to deny this ultimate meme when the Motor City’s biggest musical exports get together to record a Mozart-themed tune with a title that apparently translates to “Lick Me In The Arse.”

The tune, titled “Leck Mich Im Arsch,” features garage-rockers JEFF the Brotherhood as backing band, playing over a sample of what we assume to be Mozart music, and White doing god-knows-what and probably laughing his ass off. The tune will be released Sept. 13th on White’s Third Man Records and is certain to go down in “what the hell was that” history.

Jack White Goes Hip-Hop With Black Milk (MP3)

For all of his myriad of projects, Jack White’s sound has never veered far away from his guitar-centric blues rock roots. So you’d be forgiven for raising an eyebrow at the news that White’s Third Man Records is releasing it’s first hip-hop single by Detroit MC Black Milk, and might even be shocked to hear that White co-produced the songs while adding guitar to the A-side “Brain” and drums on the B-side “Royal Mega.”

Both tunes were recorded live at Third Man headquarters in Nashville, and feature a seriously funky horn and percussion backing that sounds like something White would get into after all. You can check out “Brain” here, and hear “Royal Mega” on Black Milk’s website.

Random Axe, Random Axe (Review)

Random Axe

Random Axe

Released by Duck Down Music


Detroit's hip-hop pulse has been strong since the days of The Hip-Hop Shop. And yeah Brooklyn ranks alongside Queens & The Bronx as breeding grounds for some of hip-hop's elite. Random Axe is two parts 313 and one part BKNY, a highly combustible compound. Black Milk, Guilty Simpson & Sean Price have that triple threat chemistry a la Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler & Dirk Nowitzki. Any album that makes you want to cop the instrumental version gives it legs and Milk has clearly emerged as one of the top producers in the game.

Jack White & Danger Mouse :: “Two Against One” (MP3)

You knew Jack White wasn’t going to stay quiet following the news of The White Stripes splitting up last week. Hell, the fallow years leading up the duo’s split were some of White’s most prolific, with The Raconteuers and The Dead Weather releasing no less than three albums since the Stripes unintended swan song, 2007’s Icky Thump. So it’s little surprise to hear White pop up on this new project by cross-genre producer Danger Mouse, whose studio pairing have ranged from hit making with Damon Albarn (as Gorillaz) and Cee-Lo (as Gnarls Barkley) to more oblique work with David Lynch and Sparklehorse.

“Two Against One” finds White contributing vocals to Danger Mouse’s latest collaboration with Italian composer Daniele Luppi under the name Rome. It’s quiet yet foreboding acoustic melodramatic sound is exactly the sort of song we like to hear White over when the guitars aren’t wailing.

You can hear it over at Antiquiet. …MORE

White Stripes Disband

Meg White FInally Has Some Peace 

The White Stripes announced today that they have broken up as a recording and performing duo. In a rather esoteric announcment on the band’s website, the explains the cause of the split, “It is for a myriad of reasons but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.”

Which is nice and polite, if vague. But thinking back to the closing of 2009 tour documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights, there’s an incredibly moving scene where Jack performs a solo version of “White Moon” while Meg gently weeps by his side. The song is about relationships past, and given the pair’s own pre-White Stripes relationship, it’s hard not to assume that Meg never quite got over old Jacky, which made for a very interesting decade-plus of music, but she probably just had …
