Re: (TV) white stripes

But we all know that the strokes have gotten the attention that they have 
because the singer's father owns Elite models and got them into V and the 
Face and other fashion magazines before any of the music mags took note.. if 
it were "fairness" and "talent" that got bands attention, the Rapture would 
be getting the Strokes' publicity... not that they're _bad_, just average 
r'n'r.

but yeah.  white stripes = good!

It's really catchy. Some songs are just voice/drums and it leaves ya 
hummin'. Like Ray said, it's nothing we've never heard before, but it gives 
a breath of fresh air to the whole shebang.

I've listened to it about six times since I bought it on Friday and I'm 
still really liking it. Take a listen to it if ya fancy.

I thank Mojo for referring this one.
