I have to dedicate tonight's post to Jack White and his outstanding
Third Man Records. Jack White may not only be one of the greatest musicians out there today...he also gets. He gets music. He doesn't use autotune. He doesn't blast the levels out of his productions. He lets the music speak for itself rather than letting the engineer make it into whatever pop schlock than can conjure. His record label
Third Man Records isn't just a record label. It's also a record store. Which isn't just a record store. It's also a recording studio...and a performance hall. It's one of the only places you can see a show performed, engineered, packaged and sold all at the same time. And best of all, it's all overseen and produced by Jack White, so you know it's not going to be watered down by some tone deaf A&R douche just trying to impress his ex-girlfriend by getting back stage passes to the Script's upcoming concert. But wait...there's more.
Third Man Records also releases exclusive editions of their albums. Colored vinyl, limited pressing, triple decker records. You know what a triple decker record is? It's a record inside a record. I don't know how practical it is...but I sure as hell want one.

September has always had that schizophrenic nature of being placed in the middle of the year, yet it's the month that represents the beginning of many new things in our culture. September is the month that a new school year begins, it's the month when TV shows begin their new season and new TV shows debut, and it's the beginning of the award season for Golden Globes, Oscars and Grammys. It's also the time of the year when record labels begin releasing their biggest albums of the year, gearing up for the holiday season. There are more new album releases in the first two weeks of September than in July and August combined. (I just made that up but it sounds accurate.) To kick off this new start as we head into the end of the year, I've concocted a playlist for such a time. I've chosen a wide variety of music from old artists, new artists, rock to hip-hop to dance and everything in between. Some of these are new songs to debut this month, others are from albums that will be released in the coming weeks. Sit back, enjoy, while watching the new NFL season.
