Rating: happy This record left Benxamin feeling happy.

The song is getting a lot of play on Internet radio channels of late. I picked-it up at the local shop without knowing this was the one I've been hearing. Meg's drumming is impetuous and simultaneously the laziest I've ever heard. Goes perfect with the spare guitar and lyrics. Finally, the back of this 7" has fantastic deco-inspired lettering and borders all done in red, white and black, of course.

What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Phil feeling unmoved.

The White Stripes are back with a new single. I always thought these were a tad over rated and since De Stijl they've been a bit rubbish aside from the odd song. Elephant was really rubbish, come on you can admit it now..... good sleeve mind you. As has the new single funnily enough with Meg playing kettle drums with some kids. So what do I think of the new single? Surprisingly I think it's fantastic. An enormous slab of catchy blues filled pop with hoards of piano filling up the air. Tremendous stuff indeed. Bizarrely enough there's a 12" which has a High Contrast (Drum 'n' Bass) mix of Blue Orchid which was a total surprise to me. It works quite well oddly enough and we have a white label of it for you collector type folks....

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.

'does that came with pineapple and egg or do I have to choose one of them?'
