If there is one thing that you dont do, its try to take a baby away from its mother right after its been born. Thats what jack white felt Chicago based Q101 did when they played his new album in its entirety.

Chicago alt rock station Q101 probably shouldn't have been surprised that White took time out from his duo's European tour on Wednesday to call in from Spain and give DJ Electra a verbal beatdown for playing the band's new album, Icky Thump, in its entirety during her show

Did we mention that Thump isn't out until June 19? Well, Electra did — several times — according to station music director/assistant program director Spike (who declined to give his real name), who noted that the DJ enthusiastically hyped the album repeatedly during the sneak peek. Kind words notwithstanding, White was pissed.

"I was extraordinarily surprised when Jack called," said Spike, of the call, which came two hours after the album was played at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. "I had no idea what his reaction would be because I don't know the dude. In my head he's this indie-rock dude, so the fact that he'd be calling at all was cool to me. But when he was mad, it was a curve ball." Spike said White was, in fact, "really mad" and though he didn't yell, he used words like "naive" and "coward" and insinuated that DJs like Electra were helping speed the demise of the music industry.

 

Damn Son.

Looks like Mr.  Strong and silent has a bit of a nasty streak up in him.

See Jack Call,

Scold Jack Scold!

Go Jack GO!

That always confused me, Why a station would play a brand new CD over the air for everyone to hear. For one, Somone could record the album and BAM, brand new CD two weeks before release.

OR… worse, people could hear the CD, decide that they don't like it, and not go buy it…. which sucks for rockstars like Jack white, but rules for the consumer…..

It's a fine line to walk. Allz i know is i wish i could have been there to see the DJ's face when he hears that jack white is on the line and hes fuckin pissed to holy hell.

I'm Out
