Short, fast and sweet, feel free to hit replay on this legendary Friday Beat: The White Stripes, 'Fell in Love with a Girl.'
From their album 'White Blood Cells', 'Fell in Love with a Girl' is fleeting like the lyrics and reflective of lust. The absolutely insane and innovative video for the track is by French Film Maker Michel Gondry, (think Internal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), who filmed 4 other iconic videos for The White Stripes ('Seven Nation Army'). Rolling Stone magazine listed the song as one of the forty songs that changed the world!
Fun fact: Jack of the White Stripes said they contacted the Lego Group in hopes of including a Jack and Meg White Lego set with each single of the record. The Lego Group refused, stating they don't market to adults. Once the video became a hit, Lego got in touch to do the deal. Jack White refused.
The kind of music that will drown and absorb you just through listening is pretty much anything to do with Jack White. One of his side projects, The Raconteurs offers up the goods with 'Salute Your Solution'.
It's time for a full playlist to kick start the weekend, and this one is filled with non-stop bangers. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', has become a cult classic that is visually incredible and the soundtrack is filled with killer songs from the 60's and 70's, plus Vegas style classics that make this a fun ride.
It's 2am, feeling alright, just getting started tonight...A bit of no-frills garage rock from LA based band, The Black Tibetans, is giving us those Friday feels in 'You're Cold'.
