Let's be honest, we've all known that Jack White is white trash for a really long time. He's not exactly as white trash as Kid Rock, but his gimmick is still right up the same alley. He plays guitar riffs that you think are so authentic that you'd hear them in a local KKK-wave bar, except they are so good that they become 'critically acclaimed.' Anyways, Jack White is also known for working with tons of random ass artists, probably because he is addicted 2 fame and secretly wants to go more mainstream than he already is.
He collab-ed with those garbage juggalos in the Insane Clown Posse. I understand if u collab with a rapper to break into 'black markets', and maybe if you play a riff behind some Shakira/Ricky Martin/Enrique Iglesias to go after a booming Latin population, but why would u go after white trash Middle America? Every1 knows that juggalos come from the DNA-vibes that exist in poo, so not sure why he is saying "I'd rather play the Gathering of the Juggalos instead of Coachella."
Really a terrible career move 4 Jack White. His fans who think they are 'authentic' bc they vibe 2 his guitar rock are definitely going 2 turn their backs on him bc he is associating with this trash. The Insane Clown Posse are known 4 singing abt killing women and raping their dead bodies then pouring Faygo on them. Not a very authentic indie career move 4 Jack White.
Does this collab seem 'totally authentic?
Is Jack White 'trying 2 be meta'?
Or is he just embracing his white trashiness?
Has Jack White 'lost his indie cred' now that he is 'down with the clown'?
Is this 's00 funnie'!
Is Jack White a 'collab whore'?
Will he 'do anything 4 a meme'?
Do u want to break in2 juggalo markets?
Are juggalos 'sub-human'?
Has Jack White been 'over' since that 1 song that was like dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dunnn-dunnnnn?
The Insane Clown Posse are the leaders of the Juggalos. They supply endless memes that people on the internet can make fun of.
The Colbert Report is 'cultural and political commentary' 4 ppl who like 2 laugh at moving images and larger-than-life personalities on the HD television screen in the apartment that they share with their significant other. Antways, Stephen Colbert and/or his staff have a 'hard on' 4 trying 2 provide commentary on the 'consumerification of indie', and they are in the middle of a 1 week sponsored event called Colbchella. I don't really know what 'the point' is, but apparently Stephen Colbert is now signed 2 Jack White's record label, Third Man Records.
Not sure what Jack White is trying 2 do. Thought his whole gimmick was being 'all abt the music' or soemething, but I think he is trying 2 get 'press and exposure' for Colbert's backing band, The Black Belles. Feel bad 4 them. But they are an all-female band so no1 was going 2 take them srsly anyways.
Here is Jack White trying 2 convince ppl he 'gets it' bc he is letting Colbert make fun of him.
Here is some sad press release.
It's official: Stephen Colbert is now a full fledged Third Man recording artist. The Colbert Report host's Third Man debut single "Charlene II (I'm Over You)" was made available at the stroke of midnight when Thursday, June 23 became Friday, June 24 on vinyl from ThirdManRecords.com and digitally via iTunes.
Third Man's own Jack White, who produced Colbert's inaugural Third Man recording, will join his new protege' at the Third Man Rolling Record Store, parking at 11 am Friday, June 24 at the High Line Park (30th street lot) in New York City where producer and artist alike will become salesmen: White and Colbert will sell physical copies of the limited edition and standard vinyl single from the Third Man Rolling Record Store and Stephen will perform "Charlene II (I'm Over You)" live.
June 23rd, 2011 also marked Colbert's televised debut as a Third Man artist, where his new boss Jack White introduced his performance of "Charlene II (I'm Over You)" backed by labelmates The Black Belles. The song was a fitting climax to the three-part series 2001 AND 1: A ROCK ODYSSEY FEATURING JACK WHITE on The Colbert Report.
Here is the band performing.
Feel rlly bad 4 every1 involved in this... Know they are trying 2 be zany and provide commentary, but I just feel bad 4 every1 involved when this is the final product.
:-(
Is Stephen Colbert 'funnie'?
Is Jack White 'totally authentic'?
Is this a great idea 4 a sponsored experience?
Do u watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report every nite?
R u gonna buy this song on iTunes?
Who is the biggest loser in this 'disaster'?
Jack White played some 'popup show' in the back of some trailer. This seems like something ppl would do in the 1950s, but not sure if it is really as innovative these days. I guess it is just supposed to 'generate blog buzz' or something, but I honestly thought Jack White had retired, but I guess he will probably never retire and become one of those old ass men who plays boring music and every1 still has to pretend it is good.
Anyways, he has some sort of gimmick 'popup shop' mobile record store. It is just some trailer, and he is driving around SXSW. I guess that's what u do at SXSW, try to create zany memes that get reblogged or something.
Here is some dumb video that tries 2 hype up his mobile record store.
HEre is some video of him performing and every1 thinking that they were experiencing something meaningful.
R u pissed that Jack White 'unretired'?
Does he represent everything that is 'right' with the music industry?
Is he an industry leader?
Is this an authentic way 2 promote urself or just a sillie blog gimmick?
Do u hope u run into a relevant buzz artist at SXSW who is driving a mobile marketing device around town?
Oh Jack White
ur just like u and me and every1 we know
Letting ur guard down
and going shopping to buy cat food
4 ur cat
(and kitty toilet pebbles)
Ur a genius, Jack White
but at the same time
ur a human
even though u can wail on guitar.
so used 2 ur flamboyant on-stage personal brand
But at the end of the day
ur not just a pretentious indie celeb
Ur a brilliant song writer
Like that 1 song u wrote for people at soccer games 2 sing
but at the end of the day
ur just a bro who <3s his cat
kinda like the Best Coasts
and that rlly makes me <3 u
Feel like there is no greater love
than the love between man + canine [via feline]
hope ur kitty isn't pooping everywhere while ur gone.
Have fun chillin on some meow mix Whiskers Purina
See yall at PETCO
with tons of relevant alternative celebrities
Do yall <3 Jack White?
Are the White Stripes overrated?
Does Jack White need to focus on the White Stripes instead of playing in a bunch of other lame bands?
Are the White Stripes 'indie' or 'mainstream rock bullshit'?
Should blogs stop 'creaming' over Jack White memes since all of his song sound the same?
