Jack White Produces Insane Clown Posse Mozart Cover
Okay, Summer of 2011, this is how you're going out? Fine. "Jack White has teamed up with Detroit horror-rappers Insane Clown Posse for a new single on White's Third Man Records. According to White and the ICP, the A-side 'Leck Mich Im Arsch' is based on a lost piece of music penned by none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. (The title translates to 'lick me in the arse.')" You can hear the track here. Do note that it includes the lyric, "Call it a fetish/call him a freak/call him in need of a tongue on his buttcheek," which is straight out of the Cole Porter playbook.
Going Backwards: Jack White Releases Spacey YouTube Autotune Hit as a Single
Jack White is to be applauded for the way the he's handling his "I-can-do-whatever-the-fuck-I-want" status atop the contemporary rocker scene. The three bands, the conservationist record label, James Bond themes, high-art ultraviolent videos. And now, best of all, he's releasing as a 7-inch single the audio track of "A Glorious Dawn"-the odd, and oddly affecting, Youtube hit from composer John Boswell that mixes autotuned clips from Carl Sagan's 1980 PBS special Cosmos (plus special guest MC Stephen Hawking) over chillout-room trance beats. Pitchfork's report on the matter also informs us that White recently refused to sing vocals on a collaboration with former Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash. Which seems slightly less important than Carl Sagan's uncanny resemblance to Michael Dukakis.
