Tell me about the White Stripes

[flashingnose]

Saw them on Glastonbury last night - is it always just the two of them? What's their best album?

TIA

All I can hear is the ruddy frog! kids love it, I like shooting it!!

o luuurve shooting the frog.... cause it plays a bit of the music at the end

like it really....specially when it squeaks when it bounces!!

I really enjoyed Coldplay-I love the Speed of Sound and I still love their old stuff-I think its because when I had my first ds I used to sing him Yellow and other songs from Parachutes-they just remind me of the magic of becoming a mother for the first time-sometimes a bit bland but other times,really magical-Chris Martin has a lovely voice and is just so natural!

Dropinthe have you got x & Y ? if so is it as good as their last album?

JanH,you're a groover aren't you? (Considering you were an adult in NY when Lennon was shot!)
White Stripes are ex husband and wife actually. He has just married the model Karen Elson.
Coldplay are ok,but I listened to the lyrics of 'Speed of Sound' today in the car.
Embarassingly bad. My 12 year old niece could do better.

moondog, they aren't brother and sister? Whoa!

(I only groove by association. Kids are great for that!)

Are you sure, moondog?

Hey! I'm no hipster! (lol at 'grooving by association'. I'm stealing that and I aint giving no credits!)Happier with the Grateful Dead and Frank Zappa but I do know the siblings thing was a wind up.

Kasabian rocked too, very good Glasto set.

Just googled it and they aren't brother/sister they just used to pretend they were

"Meg White, the drummer for the White Stripes, a blues-rock duo from Detroit, served as maid of honor. Though she and White have claimed to be siblings, court records have suggested they were married for four years before divorcing in 2000.

Whether it's White's first marriage or not, it is the first for Elson."

U-Daily Bulletin - Gossip - an interesting website!

Well he's been a busy bee then - didn't he break Renee Zelweger's (sp) heart before marrying Karen Elson?

Bollocks, when were Kasabian on?

Think the album is awesome

JanH,I am ashamed to say that I seem to pick up this 'showbiz' shit by osmosis. What is your excuse???

kcemum-no,havent bought it yet but that's because am saving all my money to go to Turkey in two weeks and acually bought the rocksta dh the Kasabian album for fathers day-very Stone Roses from the little I have heard-he listens to XFM all day so is with the bands of the mo-I'm way behind!

Kasabian have been on and off a couple of times during the BBC programme. Showed club foot which was totally wicked

TA had heard kasabian where good but haven't really listened to them

bugger bugger bugger all i saw was new order butchering Joy divisions 'love will tear us apart'

Kasabian were on this evening - about 9.30? Keane were available in replay on BBCi at that point. Also Kaiser someone. KKK tonight.

moondog, I get some by association (again!) and some from popbitch. There is such a lovely lot of lovely gossip available these days

Where are you going dropinthe? I live in Turkey.

Ooh, was that the Kaiser Chiefs? What were they like?

And what's popbitch??

Kaiser chiefs-they are alright(ish)
