The White Albun is the final studio album by Australian alternative rock band TISM. The title is a reference to and deliberate misspelling of The White Album, an unofficial name for the album The Beatles.
Appropriate to TISM's humour and mockery of the music industry, the album is only available as part of a larger package containing two DVDs. The first DVD is titled A Film By Antonionioni which is, in fact, not a film but a live concert called "Save Our TISM" featuring, in true TISM style, a fake telethon running behind the band. The second DVD is TISM: A Docunentary (keeping with the 'n' theme) which features lengthy interviews of the band and a history of TISM. Also on the disc is rare or previously-unreleased footage from TISM concerts ranging from their first-ever show through to the present day. The disc also features every TISM video clip including the banned video for "I Might Be A Cunt, But I'm Not A Fucking Cunt". The original (digipak) pressings did not feature the video for "Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me", but it was added when the album was re-released on 10 November 2004 in a standard Amaray case.
Famous quotes containing the word white:
“Is a civilization naturally backward because it is different? Outside of cannibalism, which can be matched in this country, at least, by lynching, there is no vice and no degradation in native African customs which can begin to touch the horrors thrust upon them by white masters. Drunkenness, terrible diseases, immorality, all these things have been gifts of European civilization.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
