JUKEBOX AWARDS 2014 OBJECT LESSONS As I Returned Home From
JUKEBOX AWARDS 2014 OBJECT LESSONS As I returned home from shopping one morning, I noted a sign posted on a streetlamp. It announced an estate sale. Ordinarily I demur from any opportunity to add one more item to my inventory of possessions. Nonetheless, the location of the event was on my street and only six addresses down. I made my approach and slowly realized it was a two flat I had privately dubbed “the house with the Nazi gate,” due to its wrought iron entry containing a design element, which incorporated the swastika. (Though the quasi-Greek cross design preceded the twentieth century scourge of Nazism, the roots of the ideogram in South and East Asia which became a representation of the inexorable wheel of history vanish into the past.) I opened that gate and entered. Inside I found a handful of people puttering amidst the belongings of a man who I had often seen on the front porch, engaged in the act of combing his dog’s fur. Snatches of overheard conversation revealed that the man had died and the proceeds from the sale of his home and belongings would be donated to an unnamed church. I pawed through a handful of books and found nothing of interest. A selection of records provided no discernible unifying theme, genre or focus. Spotting a reggae 45-RPM single, I had the sudden insight that much of what I was seeing appeared to be souvenirs: a record from Jamaica, a wood carving of Lao-Tse from Taiwan, a dish from here and a figurine from there. -
On Blunderbuss, His Solo Debut, the Analog Purist Makes Spur-Of-The
On Blunderbuss, his solo debut, the analog purist makes spur-of-the-moment choices and proves that you don't have to buy into the loudness wars to make a Number One record BY KYLEE SWENSON GORDON MAKTNG A gut decision has never been hard for Jack White. "If somebody asked rne, 'We're going to record a guitar part in a hotel room: What do you want in the room?' I'd say,'I want a lS-watt amp with a reverb, that Supro guitar, a ribbon rnicrophone, and a reel-to-reel,"'he reveals. "somebody else would say, 'Why don't you bring down ten of my Les Pauls, three Stratocasters, a Tele, four of the Silvertones, the Marshall, a TWin Reverb, six other amps, and we'll record 45 guitar tracks. And then I'n.r going to go on vacation and you engineers pick the best one."' While n-rany famous guitar players like to surround themselves witl-r nearly endless optior.rs, that's not a process that appeals to White. He's most comfortable making resolute selections made in the blink of an eye. "I make my decisions early on and eliminate right from the get-go so I don't have to make those choices down the road, because that just makes it harder on you," he says. The youngest of ten siblings, White took on a love for rock, blues, and country and started out as a drummer in local bands in Detroit. The singer and multi-instrumentalist has since paid his dues leading the White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather, and he's col- laborated andfor produced artists ranging from Alicia Keys and Loretta Lynn to Conan O'Brien, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, and even In- sane Clown Posse.
