Jack White releases "Fly Farm Blues" single with a "Ball and Biscuit" twist

Have you ever tried to write, play and record a song in 10 minutes? It's probably a bit tough for the average mortal. But Jack White sure makes it look easy as he sits down to scribble out an impromptu track in a rickety old chair next to a microphone, a scene from the sure-to-be-epic documentary It Might Get Loud which hits theaters tomorrow, Aug. 14.

In case you're unfamiliar, this doc traces the careers and influences of White and two other mildly popular guitar heroes: Jimmy Page and The Edge. The 10 minute song we speak of is something White was challenged to do on the spot by director Davis Guggenheim during a scene in the film. What came out of it was a song, eventually a single, called "Fly Farm Blues".

At this point (if you've spent anytime lurking the internet for Jack White news) you know that not only has White releasing the song on 7" vinyl through Third Man Records, but also that it bares an uncanny similarity to a song called "Ball and Biscuit" written for the 2003 White Stripes album Elephant. But even if both tunes carry the same scatty blues guitar and throaty howls, there are a couple of notable differences in lyrical content, length and meter. But as a fan, do the similarities really matter enough to make you even think twice about the quality of the new tune? Listen closely after the JUMP, and tell us what you think.

"Mutant Swinger from Mars" Los Angeles premiere during Screamfest LA, Oct. 24th, 2009. See Jack White's acting debut!
Mutant Swinger from Mars is a 2009 Science fiction comedy film written, produced and directed by Michael Kallio. A cross between Young Frankenstein, The Nutty Professor and all of Ed Wood's movies, the film pays homage to all things sci-fi, horror and comedy. The film features the acting debut of Jack White (pre-White Stripes and Cold Mountain) of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Shot in 1998, but finished in 2009, it made its WORLD PREMIERE at the San Diego Comic Con on July 25, 2009. In early October of 2009, the film was awarded Best Sci-Fi/Comedy at the Fargo Fantastic Film Festival 7. The film's LA premiere will be at Screamfest 2009 on October 24th at 3:00pm at Grauman's Mann Chinese 6 theaters.

Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3IlCRi0pM

Synopsis:
A brilliant scientist studying the rejuvenation of dead flesh is forced by three aliens from Mars to build them the perfect "chick magnet." The desperate Martians use this mutant lothario to lure cute Earth dames, because MARS NEEDS WOMEN! Can Rusty save Mitzy from the mutant charms and alien terrors that plague their town in MUTANT SWINGER FROM MARS? Packed with thrills that feature dancing, brawling, romance, and dangers from out of this world, this "long lost" film by "famous director," Orton Z. Creswell is SO terrifying, you'll laugh yourself to DEATH!!!!!

Hi there. I just wanted to make you aware that some components of your site are hard to read for me, as I am color blind. I am a sufferrer of protanopia, but there are more forms of color blindness that will also get problems. I will understand the largest part of the web page Okay, and those parts I have problems with I am able to read by using a custom browser. Just the same, it'd be great if you can keep in mind us color-blind people when doing the next web site redesign. Thanks.
