I hear there’s some controversy on this matter lately so let me set fools straight: #MegWhite is one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock n roll. It’s not even a debate. There are a HANDFUL of drummers EVER who are INSTANTLY recognizable rocking their MANY HIT SONGS with Flavor, Fire & Flair. She’s on that list, bruh. Does she do a lot a complicated tom tom fills? No, THANK GOD. She has style and swag and personality and oomph and taste and awesomeness that’s off the charts and a vibe that’s untouchable by all you boring-ass skin beaters who think we care about your ‘tight’ syncopated para-diddles. She is a FORCE and her records are forever step-stones on how to do it your own way while rocking the damn planet. @officialjackwhite knows too, so show some respect.

Truer words were never spoken! Thx for the love @nataliehemby !

A friend of mine just posted this and it made me laugh at first… but then I remembered working so many jobs, hanging with people who I worked with who played music at night, had a band on the side, dabbled in songwriting, sang in their church choir, etc… so talented and so willing to put in the extra time…they worked their job to support their passion. And that’s how I looked at all my jobs. I had a lot of closed doors, but behind those doors, I wrote songs no one ever heard, playing piano and guitar for hours, listened to my favorite music… after rush hour and on the weekends. And I loved it. 
I just wanna encourage those of you who work extra hard or put in the extra hours to do what you love… you are not alone. It’s okay to have a job that pays your bills so you can do what you truly love. It doesn’t mean you weren’t created to create. In fact, it’s the opposite. You are the great success story. You are the inspiration. The dream. And I’m cheering you on… cause I was there for a long time… and the craziest part is, some days I miss it…. Because that’s when it was its purest…

Hi everyone,

As it has been 20 years since the initial release of Final Straw we are releasing an anniversary edition of the album with bonus tracks, live performances and demos. Including this little preview of the album, the original demo of Chocolate. 

This was the first album we made on Fiction Records and the first album we made with Jacknife Lee so it was the start of something new for us. 

Thank you for buying the album back then if you did and for coming to the shows and singing these songs so loudly including Chocolate and of course Run, which was our very first hit single, and believe me when I say we were as surprised by that as anyone. It changed our lives and started a journey that has taken us around the world many times playing to so many people. So this album will always have a special place in our hearts. 

Loads of love from SP.x
