There are some interesting tidbits and it's cool to hear these musician speak about their experiences with Jack. Just all-round really good interviews.

Didn't know where else to put this..if it even needed to be any where at all. Saw this guitar at L'Olympia in Paris after the EODM show. It's signed by a few really cool artists. Steve Vai, Jack....

I can't stop giggling over the reports showing up in the blogosphere this week about "Ultra-Rare Jack White Record FOUND! (Inside a Sofa!)". Apparently Uncut.co.uk dug up TMR's news post from 2014 (they even included a link to it) and combined it with talk about American Epic, then NME picked up on it, then some international "news" sources posted it, and now it's slowly making its rounds to more sources. Journalism at its finest!

I saw that too. I even gave it a read thinking more people found them...nope.

Of course I read it, too, for the same reason. But what I find is funny is that both NME and Uncut probably reported on the story back in 2014 and they're obviously trying to make this seem new. Did they forget? Or do they think people who read them forget?


And we should all remember to use donotlink.com to read them all. Shoddy journalism doesn't deserve to be rewarded with good search page results.

It's not a magazine article, but TMR just announced that Jack is interviewed by Jim Carter in a film about Lonnie Donegan to be broadcast this Sunday night on ITV-- http://www.artisan-pictures.co.uk/proje ... an-and-me/

Anyone familiar with ITV?

^ They broadcast live on their website if you have Tunnelbear. You will need to create an account with any UK zip code that you find on-line. UK time is +5h EDT. Probably available for repeat watching on ITV Player after broadcast.

Ah, that's pretty much what I had assumed/hoped. Also saw that there's apparently an iTunes app. I don't do iTunes, but I have done Tunnelbear. Thanks.

I was looking at this picture full screen, I don't think they pulled the protective plastic off the pickguard. I think you could peel Jack's signature right off that guitar.....

And I couldn't find Michael Jackson's signature anywhere on that guitar.

Well....yeah. I suppose. No, I didn't read all the posts..... :sadface:
ITV is a commercial TV network in the United Kingdom. Launched in 1955 as Independent Television under the auspices of the Independent Television Authority to provide competition to the BBC, it is also the oldest commercial network in the UK.
Not sure if they have geo-restrictions or not, but you can sign up for an account and watch stuff if they don't.
