i can tell that we are gonna be friends
download: the White Stripes - Blue Orchid
Here's some more White Stripes goodness, in the form of a track from Redd Blood Cells. Conceived in 2002 as an "art project" by Redd Kross bassist Steve McDonald, Redd Blood Cells sees McDonald laying down bass tracks (with Jack White's blessing) on the Stripes classic White Blood Cells. The results are predictably mixed, but even the tracks that could do without the extra rhythm section at least serve the purpose of further illustrating how great the White Stripes rather minimalist approach can be. Below is a download of "Little Room." A song that was only drums and vocals on record, that McDonald has beefed up with some pretty spectacular fuzzed out bass riffs. For more info on Redd Blood Cells, you can head over to the "official site."

If you're interested, you've probably already heard that the White Stripes are releasing their fifth full length, Get Behind Me Satan, on June 7th (the 6th in the UK/Europe). You've probably also heard that the lead off single will be "Blue Orchid"... But you might not have heard it yet. So here you go. Some people are saying that they don't dig the double tracked vocals, but I quite like them. They mesh so well with the multitracked guitar.
