Jack White Wrote A Children’s Book Based On “We’re Going to be Friends”

We’re Going to be Friends is one of The White Stripes most enduring and loved songs. With the help of illustrator Elinor Blake (aka April March), the perennial favorite feels right at home on the page as a children’s book. Coming this November, children, adults, and you, too, can join Suzy Lee as she goes to school with her books and pens, looks for bugs, shows and tells, and finds a friend.

We’re Going to be Friends is the first book by twelve-time Grammy winning musician, actor, and producer Jack White, while Elinor Blake was an animator for The Ren and Stimpy Show, Pee Wee’s Playhouse & more. As a musician, she is known as singer APRIL MARCH, who’s song “Chick Habit” was featured in Quentin Tarantino’s movie Death Proof.

The book will be released on November 7, 2017, just a few months after The White Stripes’ 20th anniversary as a band (July 14, 2017). You can pre-order it here.

There’s Now An App That Helps You Create A Performance Of John Cage’s 4′ 33″

4’33” was John Cage’s most famous and disruptive composition, and now it can be performed by you! Cage’s work, which teaches us that there’s no such thing as ‘silence’ (and that there’s joy to be found in paying close attention to the sounds around), is available in this official release with an app from the John Cage Trust and Cage’s long-time publisher, C.F. Peters.

Users are able to capture a three-movement ‘performance’ of the ambient sounds in their environment, and then upload and share that performance with the world. They’re also able to listen to the performances of others, and to explore a worldwide map of ever-growing performance locations.

As a bonus, the 4’33” app features a recording of the ambient sounds at play in John Cage’s last New York apartment, which he found a source of constant surprise, inspiration, and delight.

Rock ‘n’ Radio: When DJs and Rock Music Ruled the Airwaves

Ian Howarth is a former high school teacher who now works as a freelance journalist, and now has written his first book, Rock ‘n’ Radio: When DJs and Rock Music Ruled the Airwaves.

Rock ‘n’ Radio illustrates that Montreal was at the epicentre of the rock radio revolution in Canada, eventually attracting talented DJs from the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Their personal stories and the inevitable collision with the power of alternative FM rock radio in the late 60s take the reader through some of the best rock music recorded and the social changes that percolated in the background.

The period 1926 to 1949 can be considered the Golden Age of radio when it was the hearth of the North American family. Much to everyone’s surprise, it survived the incursion of television to live another Golden Age—the 1960s and 1970s when rock ‘n’ roll music seeped its way onto mainstream radio, pushing aside Perry Como and the Dorsey Brothers for Elvis and The Beatles.

The new golden era of radio spawned what would eventually be called Top 40 AM radio, whose premise was built on the philosophy: play all the hits, then play them again. Pioneer Top 40 DJs like Alan Freed in the U.S., widely recognized as the man who coined the phrase “rock ‘n’ roll,” spawned a new breed of radio personalities—the fast-talking salesman who delivered the goods. Hundreds of radio stations in North American gave up their entire programming day over to rock music. And with that came a legion of young, hungry Top 40 DJs such as Dave Boxer, Ralph Lockwood and Doug Pringle, looking for jobs at stations across Canada.
