Yeah, "Machine Gun Silhouette" Sounds Pretty Great

While I was a little "yeah, it's alright" on "Love Interruption," the b-side to that Blunderbuss track—the non-album (!) ditty "Machine Gun Silhouette"—just might be the best Jack White song since Icky Thump's final track, "Baby Brother." A floor stomper, complete with fiddles, barroom piano, crunchy guitars and vinyl crackles—not to mention lyrics that touch on guns, money and Texas—this is all classic a-side, Stripes-era Jack White. The powers that be have now pulled the song from SoundCloud, but it should be available again soon somewhere and in some format. Will update at that time. It appears to be streaming again, this time at Hype Machine (link). The lesson to take for now is that we should all get excited about Blunderbuss, out April 24.
