Diff'rent Stripes : A Tribute To The White Stripes (Guided Missile)

Could it be Courtney Love, Bono, Steve Albini and Thom Yorke cacking about on smack?

Who are the mysterious "members of some very cool bands"
who are concocting these funny-for-3.27-seconds Casio
tributes to The Strokes and now our favourite
gobstopper-imitating inbredcore heroes The White Stripes?

Could it be Courtney Love, Bono, Steve Albini
and Thom Yorke cacking about on smack? Perhaps it's
The KLF and Chris Morris
satirically highlighting the cannibalistic inanity of a pop
culture savagely devouring itself. Or could it, by any chance,
be some washed up losers out of Thurman, Tiger and Weknowwhereyoulive
trying to claw themselves a career as the new Grumbleweeds by
doing 'Hotel Yorba' as Benny Hill chase music and 'Fell In Love
With A Girl' as shite Yan Hammer. Whichever, buy this record
and you will immediately be exterminated by the C--- Police.
