The Lowdown - This Week's XLR8R Top 10 with Frankie Knuckles, Tycho, Todd Terje, and More Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT Throughout the week, a whole lot of material gets posted here on XLR8R. And while we know—and love—that some hardcore readers will eagerly pour over every single news story, interview, podcast, video, and MP3 download that appears on the site, we also realize that for most people, it's impossible to see everything, which means that some quality XLR8R content is likely to get missed in the hustle and bustle of everyone's daily lives. In the interest of making it easier for everyone to catch up, every Friday we present The Lowdown, a weekly wrap-up of the top 10 tidbits from our site. read more

Jack White plans “World’s Fastest Released Record” for Record Store Day Posted: 03 Apr 2014 10:54 AM PDT White’s latest Record Store Day stunt may be his most ambitious yet. While past Record Store Days have seen Jack White experiment with helium balloons, 3 RPM records and antique voice-o-graph booths, this year finds the ex-White Stripe shortening the record release process to one day. On the morning of April 19, White will play Third Man Records’ blue room and record new single ‘Lazaretto’ “direct-to-acetate.” The masters will be rushed to United Record Pressing, who will begin pressing 45s, which will be stuffed into sleeves printed from pictures of the show. The 45s will be brought back to Third Man to sell to fans, and “as long as there are fans in line waiting to buy the single, United will continue to press and deliver them to Third Man to sell. Even if it takes all day.” As is to be expected, tickets are extremely limited and will be exclusively available to Third Man Records Vault to Platinum Members. Head to Third Man’s site for more info. Earlier this week, White announced his new album, Lazaretto, due out on June 9 via Third Man / XL.
