Jack White Not Happy With Icky Thump Exclusive

Chicago DJ Electra was on the receiving end of a rather angry phone from Jack White following her world exclusive airing of the new album "Icky Thump"

She wrote on her blog: "At 2pm today, during my show, Q101 became the first station in the world to play the new White Stripes album, Icky Thump. It's awesome. It's really, really, unbelievably brilliant and awesome. I was giddy and excited to share it with fellow fans."

"At 4pm today, Jack White called Q101's main offices from Spain, where they're touring, looking specifically for me, to yell at me for leaking the album and, in part, being 'messed up for the entire [music] business.' I felt like I was going to throw up. Weirdest, most surreal conversation of my life."

"We tried to explain where we were coming from - someone gave us a copy of a record that we were really excited to play, and the whole experience was an hour long love-fest for him and his band - but he wasn't having it. He hung up, very, very angry, and I thought I was going to cry."

Electra finalised her statement by saying "I don't think I did anything wrong, and I don't think I am helping to ruin the music industry. I think I made people excited for the new White Stripes record. I know that was our intention. I... still think Jack White is an incredibly talented musician, and I still think the new record is amazing. I just don't think I'll be able to listen to it without feeling like crap for a good long while."

The White Stripes new album Icky Thump is due for release on June 18th.
