Reader Feedback on "29 Thoughts on the New White Stripes Album"
This is the funniest, most original piece written on The White Stripes this summer. (It was about the White Stripes, right?)

Oh my God, thank you so much for writing a White Stripes review that a) successfully told me what you thought of the album without sounding smug or angry, b) was smart commentary on how White Stripes-related commentary has become a forum for inane hipster self-congratultory put-downs, c) saying all this in a more direct, less pretentious way than I'm saying now. Oh yeah, and you also wrote a music review that sounded like you actually like listening to music. Hurrah!

That was a fantastic review. Writers tend to get so caught up in the traditional and being critical that no one has fun with it. You’re right, this isn’t pitchfork and maybe that’s a good thing. Jocelyn

Excellent article! If only I could write a piece even remotely as entertaining instead of my pathetic mental-vomit that I mistook for brilliance in the past, perhaps I'd still be writing music reviews. Thank you for not sucking! Keep it up!

Three thoughts on this review: 1. I liked it but I don't like the White Stripes. 2. Meg White is the only good thing about the White Stripes. 3. They're not the Cramps, but Sonic Youth will have a cd sold at Starbucks.
