Now when one talks about double albums (as one naturally does) one would (naturally) think of timeless masterpieces that chronicle fevered heights of inspiration such as Elton John's Blue Moves (1976), Yes' Tales Of The Topographic Oceans (1974), Electric Light Orchestra's Out Of The Blue (1977), Nine Inch Nails The Fragile (1999), Bone-Thugz-N-Harmony's The Art Of War (1997), and the latest addition to the pantheon The Red Hot Chili Pepper's Stadium Arcadium (2006).
One with taste would of course NEVER think of such bloated and embarrassing indulgences from marginal artists like Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland (1969), Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica (1969), Funkadelic's America Eats Its Young (1972), The Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime (1984), Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear (1979) and the latest addition to the future-nobody-hall-of-fame The Microphone's The Glow Pt. II (2001).
Well those with taste can rest easy because a new double album is being released exclusively through FLUXMUSIC. It was created by formerly obscure artist Three Quid who recently took England by storm, and it is titled ...And Then Jack White Lost His Fucking Mind. Let me as someone with musical authority and integrity say that I think it is a remarkable listening experience, one that easily has the depth and richness of R. Kelly's classic double epic R. (1998).
It is available for immediate order as of this morning.
Below is the track listing, and take the time to admire the perfect mathematical symmetry with which the sequence is constructed. Three Quid's blossoming reputation is quickly being entirely based on such mathematic execution.

Seven Nation Army
Top Special

i don't get it. am i stupid?
While you are of course not stupid, theres nothing to "get" particular. Three Quid made an album, and you can order it from me. Simple as pie.
and the denial twist is on there several times? can't i just make my own mixed cd then? haha
it's all different versions, one recorded live on each night of that particular english tour
So I was wrong. The show officially starts at 9, not 9:30.
Please forgive me.
All is forgiven...see you tonight!
why do my legs hurt?
from standing on the street corner all night?
har har har
good one! i was hoping for some hooker jokes from the "my legs hurt" comment.
guess what i'm doing today? making mustard and rosemary roasted potatoes! i'm such a susie homemaker. and i'm totally bored because i'm unemployed and can't find a job in this stupid city.
Hey Jackie, I'm sure you could find a job in...Chicago!
I have a recipe in my head for vegan potato salad made with tahini instead of mustard, and cucumbers instead of pickles. Maybe throwing in some tomatoes and black olives? Dammit, it's too early to be craving lunch!
im considering having a rummage sale, selling all of my shit (well most of it) and then just saying fuck off to this city and going somewhere else. and i love having rummage sales anyways, so it works out well!
and that potato salad sounds awesome! the problem with mine is i don't have any white wine, i'll have to substitute.
I just gor served a free breakfast at work. Just finished roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, and am trading off between a poopy seed bagel and strawberry-kabobs.
jackie those potatoes sound damn good
oh and umm yeah come to chicago! do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
I've got amaretto in my freezer, though I don't think that would help your potatoes. It will, however, be good for poaching fruit once my landlords fix my damn stove.
im sorry, but is it childish of me to laugh that you wrote "poopy" instead of "poppy". i got a kick out of it.
oh god, and strawberry kabobs sound amazing.
the thing about moving is that i'm so broke that i'll have to crash with people until i can find a job/apartment. and i don't want to impose on my friends or my brother who lives in chicago. unless i'm a bum, i'm pretty good at that.
Dude, that's what siblings are for! They're supposed to support your ass while you're down and out!
thats true! i would support his ass if i was the responsible one!
if i had a car then i would do my tour of illinois and visit friends in champaigne (i'm not spelling that right am i?) and elgin. and crash with them as well.
now you're talkin! thats the spirit!
And Elgin is a pretty short Metra ride away from Chicago.
I could always use a roommate, except I have a studio. It's a big studio, though, just ask Rich.
just as long as we can have naked pillow fights, i'm in.
And knitting orgies. We can't forget that.
i don't knit. but i'll enjoy the orgy.
wow...jackie and d...living together...so many thoughts...mostly centered around Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?...I know which one of you is Bette...and which one is Joan...but I sure as hell aint gonna say...ha...ha...ha!
you could have potato salad orgies, which i will not participate in because i hate potato salad. but we could have craft orgies. i can sew and d can knit. and jackie can... be our muse! haha... rewarevintage.com (d, check it out if--they are cheap and almost always have cute things) has a bunch of new items up that i plan on buyng whether or not they will fit and fixing them, liz-style (like i have style!).
anyone else been to AIC to see "so the story goes"? it's pretty cool. not to be sexist, but the women's work was much better than the men's. i suggest you all find the time to go. and nan goldin's slide show plays every 43 minutes. i would have stayed to watch it but i didn't have the time, since i now have to write my response that's due in 2 hours.
yeah! i want my life to be like that movie.
i didn't mean to put "if" in there... so just ignore it.
i heart nan goldin.
and i do like crafts! i like to collage actually. and i used to be a champion cross stitcher.
Liz, that website is awesome! There's this great book that just came out called Sew U, I'm sure you've probably already seen it.
I used to cross-stitch like a fiend when I was a kid. I really wanna start doing that again.

have any of you ever seen the movie daisies? it's from 1966 and it's czech. and it's GREAT. i think you should all see it.
that website is amazing. i want to buy a bunch of shit from there.
actually, deanna, not only have i seen that book, I OWN IT! and there's another one that is pretty cool called "sew subversive."
so jackie, are you going to cross stitch while we knit and sew? being happy susie homemakers...
Ahhh, women in their place. As it should be.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
i'll totally cross stitch! as long as it involves the word orgy as well.
Oooooh, I've got Sew Subversive on my wishlist! I need to test out my sewing machine, I've got a jacket that's waaaaaaaaaay too big that is dying to be made into a bag for my knitting.
Oh my god, we've seriously turned this blog all girly. Someone redo the background with pink hearts or something.
yeah but i can't comment about girly stuff without adding the word orgy into it, so it's not really that femme. haha.
and when i mean orgy, i mean several people fucking! yeah, fucking!
i think jackie is trying to tell us something...
that i like orgies and sex? you are correct!
alright! i AM smart!
i'll stop dirtying up the blog. i almost wrote something really weird and dirty, but i stopped myself. restraint jackie!
so what's up with the apple picking? are you guys just staying in your area?
We're gonna shake the apples from your tree! Yeah!
and dont forget about Calvin Johnson for christ sake!
CALVINCALVINCALVINCALVINCLAVINCAVLINVLICALNNSLICLSIDfjaogihadflkgahdflgkajrhgliauerh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel like more people should be named calvin. i like it.
my cousin and his wife have a cute litle boy named calvin dante. his a little mischevious thing, but so cute! and he's not afraid of me, so that's nice.
apparently children, dogs and now cats love me. i'm such a magnet for precious things.
so liz, do you know what's going on for the apple picking day? its understandable if you are staying in IL, cuz i doubt i can go farther than the wisconsin border anyways.
you know, i'm so incredibly entertained by craigslist, it's ridiculous. men actually put up pictures of their cocks in hopes of other men seeing that and being like, "oh for some reason i like this cock better than the other one i just saw! he's mine!"
and i know i'm not a gay man, but that's so bizarre to me. every cock i've seen on there has looked the same to me.
this is what you do when you are unemployed, haha.
As the great Bill Hicks said, "you do a commercial, you are off the artists role call and everything you say is suspect, I don't care of you can shit Mona Lisas on command". Now lots of people have said lots of apologetic qualifying bullshit, but seriously, you take a gift from the devil, and your is signed over, as Hal Holbrook said in Wall Street (one of the greatest movies EVER), "You cant get a little pregnant, son".
Now to prove my point then when you do a commercial you have given, crapped out and cashed in, that you have entirely given yourself over to the SYSTEM, heres a section from a fascinating article basically repeated verbatim from tinymixtapes (a website that is quickly becoming mroe impressive with each passing week) and here it is...
"Apparently, our pals at Universal, a.k.a. the world's biggest music company, feel like they're not getting enough mileage out of the term "selling out." Universal will team up with advertising company WPP to form a music and marketing behemoth they're calling "BrandAmp." I guess they figured that the cool thing that all the kids are doing is combining two words without a space in between them. You know... MySpace; YouTube. This shit can't fail. As currently conceived, the project would allow advertisers direct access to Universal's back catalog, with plans in the works to involve other artists and record labels in the future. It makes one wonder whether any of Universal's artists are going to make some noise about this. Certainly anyone signed to the world's fattest-ass record company is no MDC, but this is a pretty huge violation. I mean, please, someone defend my right not to hear PJ Harvey hawking for Wet Seal and Jurassic 5 convincing me to eat at the Olive Garden!
Well, at least we can find some solace in the words of Lucian Grainge, head of Universal's international division. "This new venture makes sense on many levels," he said. "It brings together two creative communities which are driven by innovation and imagination." Ohhh, that's right. Universal and some advertising company are "creative communities." They're practically artists' communes! And all they're doing is getting together to do a little dance, make a little love, and get down tonight. Sheesh, and here I was thinking that this was just some crass corporate bullshit. Thanks, Lucian. I feel a lot better now."
So, yeah, evil just gets more evil.
and on a much lighter note Im spending the day at work writing about last night which was one of the best of my life.
Amen on many counts.
That just reminds me of Pitchfork's Interrobang a couple (few?) weeks ago, where they basically asked what the moral dilemma was in being paid for your music being in the background of an OC episode (I can't access the article, because their website is being stubborn as fuck right now)...but the moral dilemma was inherent within the fucking sentence. I don't know what kinda retards those guys at Pitchfork are, but man, they aren't very smart ones. (On a related note, Matt was shocked when I mentioned TMT one day, because he thought I would think of it as "pretentious hipster bullshit." Did I mention already that I met Matt on Craigslist? My comment comes full circle!)
Last night was so amazingly incredibly awesome that I'll let Rich review it instead. You'll be able to articulate the scope of it much better than I ever could. And I am so finding out if Phil is into bigamy, that would be great.
Dont give me too much credit Deanna, write wif yuo want, this blogs big enough for the both of us to tackle the scope!
Oh, and heres a teaser...I chatted with Calvin last night!
And he said with that crazy deep voice of his "I hope to see you at tomorrow night's show, Rich"
!!!!!!!!!!!
Calvin Johnson's voice
Makes my panties moist
Rich, who are you kidding?
This blog's tight as my knitting
There, a poem for the day.
Oh and Deanna, that fucking pitchfork article...oh lord fucking almighty, that was evil...tim and I had a whole conversation about the ridiculous idiocy of that thing.
That article makes me nauseous just thinking about it. Though that could just be a symptom of bad chai.
one more thing about tiny mix tapes, I though that decemberists review they wrote was fucking spot on, saying shit pitchfork would never dare say (but if they did it would be in that lame ass defeatist ironical shithead way)
I've never actually listened to the Decemberists. That's how far my head has been up Elvrum's ass the last two years.
And Adrians!
The Decemberists--- I havent heard enough of them but some of their music is real good, some things leave me a little blah, but I give them alot of respect cuz they sure arent chasing any trends or condescending to their audience in any way. So they get the Rich Millett seal of approval.
I still think anyone who releases an entire EP of Morrissey solo covers is suspect by default. But it could indeed be far worse.
And while we're calling roll on who's shit is on my face...Ray Davies and the Band of Brians surely count as well.
Hmmm, I had no idea about the Morrissey thing. That doesnt sound like a stroll through the park.
who the hell are the Band Of Brains?
jackie... i will let you know about apple picking later tonight. i have to go to class right now.
The Band of Brians being Lightning Bolt.
Reading this kinda pissed me off.
Yeah the same ol same ol...The Monkees are the most dada rock band ever and will NEVER be understood.
um, i just heard the shaggs for the first time. and i'm in love!
Awesome!
And youll get to hear the shaggs (and [many] others) on Falling Deep 5...coming your way...soon!
jackie--we need to know if you can come with us or not. the apple barn orch. & winery sounds cool. it's in elkhorn (walworth county). can you get there? cuz if you're not coming we might not go into wisconsin. but, we WANT to go into wisconsin so we can pick apples with you, so let us know!!!
Okay, so today my IE at work decided to shit out and no longer allow the comment window to pop up on this site. Hopefully it was just a temporary little glitch, but if not then I probably won't be able to comment...just stalk, which is not nearly as much fun as taking part in the madness.
i just deleted all of my drunk comments because they are null and void.
apparently i CAN go apple picking, just tell me what time and where, etc. well i have to say what time because i have to drop off my roommate at 10 am to work and then after that i can go wherever you guys need me to. liz and rich you should call me tommorow to let me know. or actually just leave a message on here. whatever.
oh and happy birthday! i'm the first one! huzzah!
and i didn't even realize you had the shaggs on your FD vol. 5, i just bought it today and fell in mad love with it. especially "it's halloween". love love love it. what a coincidence!
