Jack White Headed For First #1 Album

It's hard to believe, but restless rocker Jack White has never scored a #1 album. Not with the White Stripes, or with any of his other side bands (the Dead Weather, the Raconteurs).
But according to Billboard estimates, that drought may end next week when the #1 six-string hustler is predicted to take the top spot with his solo debut, Blunderbuss.
The disc is expected to move between 100,000-120,000 copies in an otherwise slow week. Though White has landed seven top 10 albums with his various other groups, his highest chart debut or peak with them was the White Stripes' 2007 masterpiece, Icky Thump, which came in and peaked at #2.
It should come as no surprise that the man who has made a career at juggling 50 things at once, and who is also working on his first soundtrack album for Johnny Depp's "Lone Ranger" movie, has plenty more music in the can. In addition to the 12 tracks he recorded for Blunderbuss, White told England's Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe that he's already got a stockpile of songs for a possible follow-up.
"We had enough for an album at one point, but I just kept going ... I've got another 12 songs that I haven't finished yet ... There's songs that White Stripes never really played live, or Raconteurs never really got that into, or songs that I brought to the table in a band - songs like '[I Cut Like a] Buffalo' - and now I can elaborate on them".
White is getting ready to hit the road with his unique band set-up, which consists of one all-male and one all-female crew , who are not informed about whether they will play each night until just before the show. "The easy thing to do would be to go and find four or five guys to play in just like the record and stand behind me," he said. "I just didn't want to bore myself to death and bore people with that jazz and it just to just be some nostalgia thing."

Sometimes too much of a good thing in free software can create bad impressions. For instance, some of the free stuff so easily available in Linux distro package managers is so archaic that newcomers to the OS might understandably shriek in horror. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely am a big fan of FOSS applications.

How surprised was Wiz Khalifa to hear Kanye West name-drop him on his "Way Too Cold" single? "Very," the Taylor Gang captain told New York radio host DJ Funk Master Flex during an interview Monday night. " 'Cause he said my name. I've gone a long time without anybody actually saying my name out loud like that. It wasn't a bad thing."
When Yeezy dropped the track, which was then named "Theraflu," at the top of April, he thrilled fans with his fiery and off-the-cuff lyrics. On the song 'Ye professed his love for Kim Kardashian, threw a jab at her soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries and once again rapped about his ex-flame Amber Rose. But this time, West brought Rose's fiancé Wiz into the mix. "The whole industry wanna f--- ya old chick/ Only n---a I got respect for is Wiz," Kanye rhymed on the song's second verse.
Because of the very public nature of Amber and Kanye's breakup, many assumed that he and Khalifa would naturally have beef. (There were even rumors that the two squared off at the Coachella music festival in 2011.) Wiz shot down the speculation. In fact, he says that he and Kanye don't even know each other. "I never met him before ... never in life," the "Black and Yellow" MC said.
The rapper stressed everything was positive, and things certainly seem to be moving in the right direction for Wiz, who dropped the first single from his sophomore album O.N.I.F.C. on Monday. "Work Hard Play Hard" is produced by Stargate and features the TGOD leader flaunting the spoils of his success over a bouncy club track. "It's crazy. We shot the video in Pittsburgh," Wiz told MTV News last week on the set of Maroon 5's "Payphone" video. "It's wild, just linking back up with Stargate, making another hit and gearing up for the second album, O.N.I.F.C. We're about to do it all over again."
While O.N.I.F.C. is scheduled for an August 28 release, Khalifa and his bride-to-be, Amber Rose, haven't locked down a specific date to wed. "Well, we're making the plans, and by we, I mean she's making the plans," he joked. "So we're setting a date."
