Benson

Brendan does it better.

I mean, Jack's capable of course. But you hear Mr. White and all you can think is White Stripes. Like Bjork in a Barney / or Von Triers joint, "LOOK IT'S FUCKIN BJORK," Jack White is called up best when you need to reference Jack White.

So here he is singing in the background, playing the bit part:

The Raconteurs - Together
The Raconteurs - Yellow Sun

1 = 1

I fell in love very quickly with the new belle and sebastian album, the life pursuit. No filler, just consistantly good songs. Less mopey than previous albums, no comparisons to the Smiths.

Then I found this song on bumrocks, A Paraíba Não É Chicago by Marcos Valle, and it's so similair to Song for Sunshine on the new B&S album that I had this paranoid 36 hour fit.

Obsessively, I've been listening to each song, playing them at the same time. These songs aren't exactly the same, they're in different languages, but they feel equal.

Maybe they were written on exact opposite sides of the earth.
