I'd like to see him take on Trent Reznor, actually.

I'd like to see him take on Trent Reznor, actually. Me and Ash discussed it, and we think Trent would win, but I reckon Jack could get in a decent few hits. |

Whether in the studio or in barroom brawl, the White Stripes' Jack White has proven that he's not a man to be messed with. Especially when it comes to his baby: His band's music.
Which is why 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.
But if Q101 got Thump from an authorized representative of the White Stripes, what's the problem? Well, they didn't.
Denying that the station "leaked" the album, Spike explained that he has a number of fans from his days as a DJ in Philadelphia who frequently send him links to leaked album files, often weeks ahead of their release date. "We never said on-air how we got it, but I was sent a link to a file and, when we found it online — like we always do — we played it," Spike said, citing similar advance spins on the station of tracks from the new Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson albums, all of which he says happened without incident.
A spokesperson for Warner Bros. had no comment but said the label is investigating the source of the leaked files. A spokesperson for the Recording Industry Association of America declined to comment, deferring to the label.
LOL, I fucking love Jack White. The guy is just a plain badass.
