Win The Last Available Aluminium Vinyl

Fans of Stravinsky and Jack White (you know you're out there), take note: Aluminium is your dream project. No, Jack White doesn't have a hand in performing the music; in fact, his only involvement with the album was to say "I like" -- and, of course, to have written the songs that appear on the record. See, Aluminium is a pomo, classical interpretation (by XL Records founder Richard Russell and British composer Joby Talbot) of Jack's tunes. If you haven't heard it yet, hit Alumiiinium to stream five of the songs.

The album was pressed in an extremely limited run of 3,333 CDs and 999 LPs. There are still a few CDs available (hit the site directly to purchase), but 998 LPs have been snatched, with only one awaiting a home. So, do you like vinyl? Jack White? Wacky string interpretations of indie rock gems? Well then you're in luck! We've got the last Aluminium vinyl to give away, and it may just have your name on it.

To enter the Aluminium Vinyl Sweepstakes, post a comment telling us your fave Jack White song -- as a Stripe, as a Raconteur, whatever -- and tell us why. We'll pick a winner at random on Monday 11/27 at 6PM EST, and that person will go on to be the envy of all of their post-modern classical vinyl-loving White Stripe-fan friends. They just don't make bragging rights like that no more. (If you don't get your hands on the LP or a physical CD, there's hope yet; Aluminium is available at all the usual digital outlets [iTunes, eMusic, etc.] in bountiful 1s and 0s on 11/21.)

And we thought you guys would want to see this. Here is our Marie Antoinette Epiphone Giveaway winner, Ms. Maya Lucia. She promised she'd learn "How Soon Is Now" first and foremost (such impeccable taste in such a young lady!) and we can't wait for the MP3! Her dad says: "Maya Lucia loves the guitar so much, she even sleeps with it ... Here's hoping she'll let me play with it sometime!" Yeah, some of you are bitter you didn't win -- but c'mon, it melts your heart, don't it?

Also, congrats to our Harry Smith Anthology winner, Marc -- and to Joe, the man who will soon hang a signed Love Is All poster on his wall. See, folks? People really do win at stereogum.com! So you still have a few days to enter The Who CD Catalog Giveaway, the Andy Partridge Boxed Set Giveaway, and the Mimobot Flashdrive/Beck designed & signed The Information Giveaway. Do it.

UPDATE: About those bragging rights -- wouldn't it be cooler if you could prove that you had the last available Aluminium vinyl? Well you can, you loser! You're gonna get the real deal, serialized #999. You are so gonna get laid.

"Suzy Lee". My favorites are his songs that are oddball takes on liking girls--it's true that cynics are closet romantics, and that's what sucked me into the vortex of fangirliness.

The songs that made me interested in Jack White were his awesome Appalachian folk songs off of the Cold Mountain soundtrack. So my choice is The Wayfaring Stranger. Reason: it gives me chills. The vocal delivery is simultaneously straightforward and unaffected, but so emotive.

In case this isn't really chosen randomly, I actually have a turntable (the Dual 1225, Elvis' last turntable for those of you that have been to Graceland) as my primary music player. No ipods.

"You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl)". Because it opens up my favourite White Stripes record, because when it starts I know I'm in for a brilliant half-hour, and because of that chord progression that leads into the middle eight.

Oh, and Marc, winner of the Harry Smith Project, should send a thank you note to my email account. It's a long story.

"I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself." Not because I find it to be the best all around musically, AND it's not even original, it's a cover--but they were my first real concert when I was 14, and I was completely infatuated with Jack White at the time, and I imagined that he was looking right at me during that song. It was fun. =)

I'll have to go with "We're Going to Be Friends" because of its utter beauty and simplicity. It's one of the most naive, innocent and yet touching songs I've ever heard. It reminds me a lot of Big Star's "Thirteen" as well as some of Jonathan Richman's more tender songs.

However, it's really hard to choose between this one and their amazing cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene". When I first saw them play it back in 2002 at Bowery Ballroom, I was completely blown away.

I'm going to have to go with "Jimmy the Exploder," because it's simple, it rocks, and it embodies everything for which the White Stripes were created (minimalism that rocks your face off). Plus, it's about a monkey that goes apeshit when he sees the color red!

"Hand Springs," because of those sweet guitar riffs, and because it involves a confrontation at a bowling alley, possibly inspiring Jack to punch out the dude from the Von Bondies next door to Detroit's Garden Bowl four years later. And because no one else picked it and I want to look cool since I'm so insecure.

"Little Room" off of White Blood Cells

I know, Jack doesn't play his guitar in it.
I know, it's only 50 seconds long.
I know, but I still love it.

My favorite Jack White song is "I'm finding It Harder To Be A Gentlemen". He does a great job with the vocals, the guitar, and the lyrics. They kind of give you and idea of how some girls today are. They don't appreciate good manners like girls back in the 50's did, for example. So a lot of guys now, don't use those well respected manners anymore.

"My Doorbell" because the first few times I heard it was over a crappy bar soundsystem and I couldn't tell who it was. I thought it was an awesome remix of an old tune, but it turns out it was just an stellar song from the get-go - no remix required.

The Union Forever (from White Blood Cells)
Superb song lift lyrics from Jacks own favourite film Citizen Kane. If there was any doubt to the depth and maturity of Jack Whites songmanship, it is dispelled here!

Jolene (Live) - Shows Jacks voice at his most soulful, with the vocal emotion that's present in all his songs combined with Dolly Partons incredible lyrics. The fact that he keeps the song from the female perspective and it still works makes it all the more perfect

My favourite Jack White song is probably Store Bought Bones. When it was announced that Jack White had teamed up with The Greenhornes and Brendon Benson, my mind started to get frustrated as to what they would sound like together. Store Bought Bones came as a shock to me, and was more impressive than it's coupled song (Steady As She Goes) but has been overlooked by many Raconteurs fans. It is quite retro and very catchy, and brings up seventies imagery. I LOVE IT! Possibly my favourite thing Jack White has been involved in (other than his production skills for the Whirlwind Heat records)! It works so bloody well!!!

As long as Daniele, who posted 19 times, doesn't win, I'm cool with not winning.

I like 7 Nation Army and I'm not ashamed to admit it. 20 years from now it'll still be appreciated as an iconic song.

I wanted to thank all the fine folks at Stereogum (or the one guy in marketing who pointed at my name before lunch) for picking me as the Aluminium #999 winner! I received the vinyl in the mail today. I already own the CD and have listened to it many times. If you don't already own, go get a copy! It's phenomenal! The album is just a very cool addition to my continuously growing vinyl collection. Thanks again Stereogum! And not to sound greedy, but I did read in the contest update something about getting laid??? I'll be waiting by my mailbox....
