The White Stripes

It's not very often that I discover a new band that I really get into. By "into," I mean that I immediately like every one of their songs that I hear. I have read tidbits in different magazines on websites about this band, The White Stripes, and how new and refreshing they are. But I had never taken the time to download any of their stuff until tonight (I had homework to do, so of course I was doing something else.)

This band is one that I think will appeal to a very broad range of people. It is a duo - brother and sister I believe - and they trade off as lead singers. This gives them at least two very distinct sounds. There are some songs that sound very very Zepplin and others that sound a little more non-accoustic folksy. It's really hard to put them into a specific genre. In fact, that was the worst thing about this band - what folder to I put their MP3s into?

Check them out, you might like them. :)

Wow I can't get away from spam. First it litters my email, and now they're posting spam on blogs?!? This is a new one, and frankly it's kind of funny to me.
