And here they are again, peddling their punk infused rock infused pop once more. Two quite interesting things: "Just A Day" wasn't featured on the»

You've gotta feel sorry for Colin MacIntyre. Not only did he suffer the pretty tragic loss of his father last year, but he also spends his days on a dark, cold, lonely little Scottish isle called Mull. On the bright side, though, he's just written one of the best albums of the 2001.

Hype. It's a dangerous thing. I won't bore you with the tales of countless hyped to fuck bands who are now remembered with a laugh rather than a record. But when you think White Stripes, you think one thing. Hype.
