For their first appearance together in two years, Jack and Meg predictably did something a little different to send off their ol’ pal Conan O’Brien on his last ever gig as host of Late Night, though I’m pretty sure no one could have guessed sister Meg would step out from behind the skins to accompany [...]
It looks like all that atmospheric/metaphorical salsa from the White Stripes’ Spanish-tinged “Conquest” video really rubbed off on Jack, who’s portrayal of a love-struck Matador obviously wasn’t authentic enough for him.
Always one to theatrically immerse himself in his record’s multiple themes, it appears that Jack has now gotten a little too into the role [...]
Thank God It’s Covers Special - Who Is Nikka Costa And Why Is She Covering The White Stripes?
Filing this one under “WTF” is an understatement. Nikka Costa’s jive talkin’ take on “The Denial Twist” is hands down the most unnecessary White Stripes’ cover this side of Jack Johnson’s sleep-inducing rendition of “We’re Going To Be Friends” from the Curious George Soundtrack. Admittedly, I have no idea who Nikka Costa is. But after [...]
From The Basement To Your TV
Back in September ‘06 we reported that Radiohead’s friend first, producer second; Nigel Godrich, was so frustrated with MTV that he went and started his own independently produced music series featuring the likes of Thom Yorke and The White Stripes (to name a few), which was then available for download on the internetz. Although originally [...]
It’s only fitting that on the exact same day I was able to purchase to the trio of White Stripes/Beck collaboration tunes from the Conquest single (Thank you iTunes US Store), I was also able to witness Jack’s portrayal of Elvis Presley in the upcoming Class of Apatow Reunion, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story [...]
After our little song and dance routine announcing our webtacular return, you’d think we’d be posting informative updates with the frequency of a 24 hour right-wing nonstop news channel. But what’s this? A day between posts! Tsk tsk.
Well all work and no play makes Angus an extremely dull boy, so what better way to [...]
It’s man against beast with a hint of Mexican salsa in Diane Martel’s video for The White Stripes’ new single, “Conquest”. Jack, at his most natural-born-actor-best yet takes on one angry bull in an arena full of redneck spectators and a very bored looking (yet seemingly fully-recovered) Meg.
At an obvious lyrical-cue, Jack has a change [...]
Bob and Jack - Together Again
Maybe fanboy dreams do come true? So I was wrong in assuming that The White Stripes’ “special collaborator” would be Jack’s BFF Bob Dylan (instead it was some scientist called Beck), but I was certainly on the right track.
Longtime friend of Jack White and bassist for Steppin’ In It, Dominic Suchyta, shed some light [...]
Remember last week I was telling you all how The White Stripes recorded three brand-spankin’-new songs with a “special collaborator”? Remember how I had hoped with all of my fan boy heart that “special collaborator” roughly translated as being none other than Mr. Bob Dylan? Well you can scratch that dream theory completely off, because [...]
When we learnt that Meg White’s acute anxiety attacks had caused The White Stripes to cancel all of their touring duties for the rest of the year, things were looking very grey in the red, black and white world of the White Stripes.
Now I’m not a doctor, but I think it’s safe to assume that [...]
From the fine folks who brought you the Triple Inchophone and Icky Thump USB Drives, comes the next item in the ever-expanding line of wonderfully strange and extremely limited/overpriced White Stripes’ merchandise: Matching his’n’her lomographic cameras.
Available to order at the White’s dot com from 12 noon (2am Sydney time) on October 15th, you can spend [...]
The White Stripes Rock the Frat!
When the B-side for the new White Stripes’ single, You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told), was revealed to be ‘Frat Rock Version’ of the same song - fans all over the globe wondered a couple of things: What would a ‘Frat Rock Version’ of anything sound like - [...]
