I tip my hat to Jack White. The White Stripes singer topped the Billboard 200 with his latest release Lazaretto selling 138,000 copies. Not only did White reach number one but he managed to set a record by selling 40,000 copies of the vinyl edition of the album in it's first week. The vinyl record record must have been an easy task for White to accomplish since the record is jam packed with bonus features that certainly caught the public's eye. Lazaretto is White's third studio album and is a follow up to 2012's Blunderbuss, (which sold the same amount around 138,000 copies according to Billboard.com) White was just recently at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee where he played some of the songs off of Lazaretto. In case you have yet to hear the new album you can check it out now streaming on Spotify.

The new (and catchy) single from Arctic Monkeys gets an awesome new video. In the midst of a recent setback where Youtube is rumored to be ridding of all videos produced by indie labels (which includes videos from artists such as Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, and Radiohead,) the Arctic Monkeys show no fear and proudly give the world the official video for "Snap Out of It." The single is featured on the bands recent album 'AM' and the band is setting out on a world wide tour starting on July 7th This years Vans Warped Tour has a slew of bands: Falling In Reverse, Motionless In White, The Devil Wears Prada, Attila, and that's just a sliver of the bands playing. The Warped Tour, now in it's nineteenth year, is home to some of the major punk, indie, alternative, and metal core bands known and loved by the so called "scene." But this year the festival has decided to ban moshing and crowd surfing across all of the venues. To that I say good luck. |
