Why don’t the White Stripes just hurry up and endorse Target already? We all know that’s what the red-and-white color scheme has been about all these years.

By the way, that new White Stripes record is going to blow up. I swung by Tower to pick up my copy over the weekend and it was the only CD in the player anyone was listening to. Every five minutes I’d look over and someone new would have the headphones on and a copy of Elephant in their hands: a paunchy, fortysomething soccer dad; a dorky 15-year-old trying his damnedest to be cool; an ancient old lady with a bun (seriously).

By the way, sorry for the silence — technical problems.

It's good. I'm not slobbering over it as much as some of the critics, but tracks 1, 3, and 8 are tremendous. I think I still like White Blood Cells better, though.
