Today it was a good day to follow news in Detroit if that mean Music News most of it was yesterday but if you have not been web or the papers or yet in the Dark this day is for you from everything form jack White call the scene super Negivate, to word of the come on first CD in almost four year, to a new gig for one of our fave on a radio station all of culture city dis-owenand the top 10 CD to the local 101 playlist and a easy winner of the N.M.E. Single of the week and all the best indie news from from my trust sourced

And No i am not going to be the 978th person to tell you Taylor Hicks is the New American Idol who beat Katharine McPhee Last Night on fox but i will have admit she do have nice curved and she don't look like posh spiced (Spice Girls Vic Beckham) in a fat suit.(As suguess for VH1 Best week ever Blog at VH1.com)

Let begin on the one and only Jack white and his new band The Raconteurs crash the Billboard Top 200 (or the indie kids like to call it the Brought and paid for 200) Landing at No.7 on the charts selling 61,000 copies that good, but jack also stike aging by call the the Detroit Rock Music Sence ‘super-negative’ in a interview with the Associated Press he told the AP hcouldud not take it anymore in Detroit.

He say "It was so super-negative,” “It was draining me, I had to get somewhere where I could breathe again.” he also say that he tried to help boost the city’s rock scene — working with unknown bands and acting as its musical ambassador — some in the community didn’t appreciate it.“I was just trying to fight a losing battle, trying to keep a community of musicians together and keep it positive at the same time,” he said. “I did that part of trying to be nonegotistical, I tried to not make it about myself.” Hexampleet a exsmaple after read a recent articte in a New York publication that lambasted the homegrown band The Strokes.“When that happens, you can’t stay in your hometown,” he said. “Because they’ll just turn on you.”

Jack who now live in Nashville, TN with his wife model Karen Elson, and their baby daughter, Scarlett Detroits battle in detroit once his other band "the white Stripfirstot Famous.

frist he got into a brawl with Von Bondies Frontman Jason Stollsteimer on 12/13/03 he was charge with aggravated guiltylt, But plead gulty on just simple assault was fined $750 and order to attend anger management But serve no jail time, Then his he got sue by producer Jim Diamond ovfirstyalies on the frist two white stripes CD (1999 " The White Stripes and 2000 "De Stijl iJunell be heard on june the 12th)and blast Ex-Metrotimes Music Writer Chris Handyside on his book about the stipes "Fell in Love with a Band : The Story of The White Stripes" a day after a review in the Metrotimes by handyside rips the last White Stripes "Get Behind Me Satan"

It look like Jack will trieDetroity away from detroit as possable, And Dont forget his new band The RaAnnteurs will play ann arbor on August 5.

Also i was suprised to read in the Free Press despiteET-FM is so despied to win back the fans after they became a dung FM of WWJ-AM duing the Day they have hired as a weekend DJ: Dirtbombs front man Mick Collins yes friends the station have Hirpopularof the most popualr front man in detoit (and a good DJ who is one of the good guys of Detroit Music) to host a show accordinght Train" Accroding to Collins From a press Release from WDET "Using the metaphor of a train journey, the basic idea behind the show is to give listeners four musical 'journeys,’ some familiar and others not so familiar, consisting or either a genre or an artist (i.e., 'Tonight's stops: Exotica, Pere Ubu, Joe Williams, or Roberta Flack'), or a specific place and time (e.g. 'Detroit, 1961', or 'Philadelphia, 1971'), or even a concept ('Freedom Music' or 'Southern big-horn funk bands')." the show was prefect for him says WDET Program Director Allen Mazurek “When we were looking for a Saturday night host, I thought about WDET’s long history of opening its doors to musicians and artists of all types and letting them explore their musical interests in ways that go beyond what they do in a recording studio or concert stage, Because of his musical interests, and given his place in Detroit’s music history, Mick’s was one of the first names that came to mind.”

The Show will Begin On June 3th form 7 to 9 PM and is avbleie on the WDET web sight for a month.

and some Upcoming CD coming to the Horisen, and one of them is one of my fave The Come On. Deanne and Company will be Back with there 1st LP in four years since The Ghetto Years LP in 2002, It is called "Stars"(Not to be mix up with the Montreal band with the same Name) it will have 11 songs on it which feather the songs like "On and On,and My One and Only

And now let go out side the 313 of two days of miss News took wednesday off and
How about that stage jump by Kaiser Chiefwasn'ttman Ricky Wilson because if was'nt for that i would report as Breaking news he would died after getting hit by a car, But thanks god for that stage jump, According to the band's website, Wilson was crossing the street in Leeds Sunday evening when a car hit him and drove away. Wilson "escaped with minor injuries, a broken toe and bruising" thanks to the magical powers of rock n roll, as he utilized a bit of his trademark manic stage choreography to dodge the vehicle. "It sounds daft, but a 'Ricky trademark jump' has probably saved his life. The jump meant he was flipped over the top of the car, hitting the windscreen, rather than getting trapped under it."
