"It's an album so strong and so unexpected that it may change the way people hear all its predecessors. And that's just a start. Listen long enough, and this album might change the way you hear lots of other bands, too." - The New York Times on the White Stripes.

Celebrations
How did you celebrate National Doughnut Day yesterday?
Well, I actually missed it. Plus it might be just a US thing...
"Dear Canadian Friends of Krispy Kreme, Due to a technical error, you were sent an email regarding National Doughnut Day. This e-mail was only supposed to go to Friends of Krispy Kreme in the United States, since National Doughnut Day is a U.S. event. We are sincerely sorry for this error and hope you can bear with us as we solve the technical problems that caused this problem. We greatly value our Canadian Friends and appreciate all your support."

Free Advertising
From Matador Records: Finally, we'd like to offer a shout-out (ie. "fuck you") to the cowards and thought-cops at the Ad Dept at Paste Magazine who have deemed our proposed advertisement for 'Face The Truth' to be beyond the bounds of "good taste." God forbid that anything might challenge the sensibilities of Paste's Yep Roc-loving, Starbucks-guzzling, Wes Anderson-worshipping readership. Seriously, if there's anything we or SM have done that is a poor fit with Paste's Ad Dept's narrow worldview, that is the highest compliment we've been paid since the last time Spin refused to run one of our ads.

Crazy Landlord Font: a handwritten typeface characterized by a complete disregard to upper & lower case letters, printing & handwriting, spelling & grammar, symmetry & spacing, punctuation & abbreviations and most importantly, manners. Typically found on the back of pizza boxes poorly taped to a wall in parking garages. Special note: when a printer and computer is used, expect the accompaniment of the comic sans font and excessive use of clip art.
