The White Stripes “There’s No Home For You Here”
The White Stripes “There’s No Home For You Here” 2004. Third Man Records/XL Records. Today, December 10th, is Meg White’s 45th birthday (b. 1974). “There’s No Home For You Here” was the fourth single (released in the UK, where we picked up this 7″) from Elephant and is a big, dense crashing stomper upon which Meg thrashes the shit out of her drums. The single didn’t chart and according to Wiki, Jack White says about the song: “Our idea was to see how far we could go with an eight track recorder, and I think how far we went is too far.” The b-side has two tracks re-recorded live at Electric Lady Studios, the swampy punk blues “I Fought Piranhas” from The White Stripes and “Let’s Build a Home” from De Stijl, this live version even more raucous than the original (the Electric Lady Studio versions are blocked on the internet ☹️).
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
