Jack White to make a soundtrack

Jack White just recently released his debut solo album Blunderbuss, which is great by the way. However, he is very busy guy and therefore he will make an entire soundtrack for new Disney movie called The Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp is the main star of this movie.

I think that this is exciting news because this soundtrack automatically becomes one of the best soundtracks of 2013.

Producer of movie Jerry Bruckheimer said about White:

"He is an amazing songwriter with a unique style. We’re thrilled to hear his fresh take on the William Tell Overture."


This is first time Jack White will actually score the entire movie. He previously made couple of songs for movies Quantum of Solace and Cold Mountain.

Watch Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love singing unreleased track

Video featuring Kurt Cobain and his wife Courtney Love singing together never revealed track called "Stinking Of You" has surfaced online. I actually find the video quite weird because the singing is really not that good and I just feel it should have never been revealed to public. Anyways, you can watch it at the bottom of the post.

The footage is taken from new documentary movie called Hit So Hard: The Life And Near Death Story Of Patty Schemel (directed by P. David Ebersole). It is about former drummer of Hole Patty Schemel and her life as well as about music scene in Seattle.

Blur to release 21-disc box set

Recently I informed you about the fact that frontman of Gorillaz and Blur Damon Albarn will probably be finished with both bands. Therefore, it is quite understandable that Blur is releasing something like this. Legendary brit-pop band will release 21-disc box set, which will include:

- two-disc special editions of all their seven studio albums
- four disc of rare tracks
- three DVDs
- 7" live recording of "Superman"
- book

There will be also released a special edition, which will contain seven albums on vinyl. Good thing also is that each disc will be sold separately.

The box set will come out on July 30. Band also made a trailer for the set, which you can watch below.
