Phoenix New Times Interview With Jim Diamond

So I have to point out this very interesting article that the Phoenix New Times posted today with Ghetto Recorders producer/owner Jim Diamond. Jim goes into length about Detroit versus Phoenix and his latest effort with the Phoenix “garage rock” band the Love Me Notes.  However, what is most interested to read is his thoughts on The White Stripes and The Black Keys.

UP: And Jack White moved to Nashville?

JD: Yeah, he moved to Nashville.

UP: Why the hell did he move to Nashville?

JD: I don’t think he had many friends left in Detroit. I think he alienated a lot of people.

UP: Yeah, no one cares for putting on airs in Detroit.

JD: Exactly. You’re absolutely right, no one puts on airs. Yeah, that’s one thing about Detroit, most people are pretty genuine, I’ve found… When they’re not genuine, they move to Nashville.
