Has anyone heard his new rock song? It's streaming on Stereogum, completely different direction. The vocals don't even sound like him. Having said that, it's really good. This guy has done so many different styles, it's truly amazing.

Yeahhh, the vocals almost sound like Jack from the White Stripes. It's pretty good, I've been listening to it non-stop since.

Yeah, definitely White Stripes-esque.
I dig it though. I dig mostly all of his stuff; he has a beautiful voice.

Your post is inexcusable. It's in the 2nd fucking sentence. Are you blind, retarded, or just lazy?

Umm...sorry, but I had never heard of that site...and you didn't address it as a website either. I probably should have picked up on it since you mentioned it was streaming, but I was also wondering if his myspace had been updated as well.




But fuck you anyway.
