4. Bone House

The fourth installment of my picks!!! About fucking time right? Yes right! Before I tell you what the song shall be I shall grovel and grovel and grovel and beg forgivness and layout my hand on the table of cards of the reasons for not doing what I should do.

I have commitment issues, I am lazy, I want the results now and not later and can't wait for later, I have other things to do like sleep and eat and procrastinate. I'm a real procrastinator! I would have won the trophy for Procrastinating at high school if I in fact worked hard to make Procrastinating a legitimate school activity... but then I only thought about making it a school event not actually actively do anything towards it. But real reason is that I had no internet. Never ever try and switch providers just stick with the one you are born with. Its a pain in the arse otherwise.

Anyway the song of the day, finally, is Bone House by The Dead Weather. This song was intended for the 26th March. The night I would have been sad and depressed that I couldn't go and see them, Live! But having no internet I turned to um TV. Yeah. Anyway The Dead Weather consists of Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Jack Lawerence and Dean Fertita. You will possibly know of these four from other bands such as the White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Kills, and Queens of the Stone Age. Anyway to me having Alison Mosshart and Jack White TOGETHER IN ONE BAND! is a strange dream come true. It's pretty awesome. And I love Mosshart, she's my girl crush.

Anyway to the song. Bonehouse is 08 on their first album Horehound. I chose this song out of their album is because I think it is quite representive of the album overall and their sound. How to describe it... sing guitars, thumpy beat and interesting sounding things like coins in a jar going jangle jangle, and the competition between a strong powerful female voice and a not as strong but still very powerful male voice. To me they seem to work up a tension in their vocals.

But the lyrics. "Always get the things I want" the way it sounds as if she is gloating sounds amazing, as she very innocently but in a Mosshart style sings about what she can make out of the person, a boat a house, how she can hide their "hearts in a vault" and do other far-fetched in a literal sense to get what she wants. I wish I were a man of words, to explain it better but I'm lazy and my er..umm.. ugh... aaah can't cut it on paper/blog lines.

Anyway as I have once again rambled I suggest that you listen to the song! And after listening to it and you sort of get what I was trying to get at maybe come back for the next time I try to do this. And if you don't get what I'm saying still, however you like the song come back anyway, tell me why you like it. And if you can clearly explain it you should be doing a blog...not me :D
