Jack White’s Rolling Record store

Posted on 16. Mar, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.

With the whole world having gone iPad /Pod /Phone app befok and everyone hedging huge bets on the power of digital, the original allure of it seems to have waned just a bit as a point of difference. Kids, who don’t know any better, are discovering something called analog, the experience of which is nothing like anything you’ll find on Facebook or the iTunes store.

Speaking of which the White Stripes front man, Jack White, has launched a mobile record store in a van called The Third Man Rolling Record Store at this year’s SXSW gig in Austin, Texas.

’97% of high school aged kids have never been to a record store?’ Wow – the opportunity for real music experiences is unreal for this lot.

Collaborative creativity: It might get loud

While we’re on the topic of movies to see – this is another, that did have a short stint at The Labia, but we’re hoping is soon available on DVD or online for creative inspirational viewing.

It Might Get Loud is a documentary film that explores the history of the electric guitar through interviews with and performances by Jimmy Page, Jack White and The Edge.

Worth it even if you do unfortunately consider Kanye West a competent musician.
