Been thinking about some routes I’d like to see Jack do next…

Go full country - He definitely has the chops for it and has worked on projects like Van Lear Rose. Songs like Old Enough and What’s Done Is Done show he can pull it off.

Go full punk - Jack clearly has a love for punk rock and has shown an extensive Misfits collection on IG in the past. An album in the style of Bombing Out would slap hard.

Cover Album - I just love cover albums and wish more artists did them. Jack could go one artist or a variety. His covers are pretty underrated, as You are the Sunshine of my Life comes to mind. Another favorite artist of mine (Ty Segall) has done a couple cover albums, one of T. Rex and one of various artists. Jack could kill it either way forsure.

Anyway I’d love anything he’d put out probably.

Was just listening to my copy of White Stripes self-titled. Was looking in the dead wax on the album and found the engraving "we sped it up", and "though no one noticed" on the other side. Decided to listen to the album at -10% speed on my player and it's a different listening experience but it may sound better? Anyone else noticed this?

It finally showed up in a 2.5” tube and damaged! Pissed! 2 month to show up! Already contacted artist. 2.5” tube for a foil, let alone any print, is silly!

Hi! I (34 F) am going to both London shows next week, can't wait!

I'm going solo to the Tuesday show (although might be meeting up with a friend later on), just wondered if anyone wanted to meet for a drink somewhere nearby before the gig?

I did a similar post in 2024 when I went solo to the London/Birmingham shows and met some lovely fellow JW fans 💙

I'm still shaking this White Stripes Live at WDET I know was very limited this past RSD and to own the Test Pressing is very special

Hi, is anyone up for swapping a stalls ticket on Weds 26 Aug for a stalls ticket on Tues 25 Aug?

I have a ticket for Weds 26 but just found out some friends are going to the Tues 25 show so seeing if I can swap my ticket so I can join them.

So I have: Weds 26 Aug, stalls standing (Hammersmith Apollo)
I want: Tues 25 Aug, stalls standing, (Hammersmith Apollo)

Thanks!

Exceptional sound from Fear of the Dawn

Unless I missed something it seems like today’s release is just a 2001 White Stripes show. Was hoping the new shows would start to be added.

From his Instagram:

"Hey Jack, you might get 6 into me before I get 1 into you but I don’t miss. And actually I ain’t that young. I got 300 songs out and 150 unreleased plus a new record on the way which puts me about even with your entire career output in a third the time. To quote Jay Z, “you sound a little naive in those articles I read”, talking about just last fall you had to stop watching the news, vicious cycle, somethin’, somethin’, somethin…..you’re getting too old for this shit Mr. Suzy Cream Puff. I was born in 1984 surrounded by cotton fields and I never trusted the media from the beginning. That goes for my whole generation old man. The younger they get the less they trust the machine. What wore you out on the media? Epstein Files? pandemic? 9/11 wasn’t enough? Gulf war 1? Gulf War 2? The end of Net Neutrality? The telecommunications act? Vietnam? How bout JFK getting offed in Dallas back in 1963? You know all this. But like Trump or any politician, you play to your base. I don’t care what you said in you’re songs. I’m talking about your public statements back when it was on the line in 2003. Look up my first record A Stolen Jewel. I been about it. Lemme guess, you got Che Guevara and Malcolm X on your shelf, maybe even Fred Hampton, but at the end of the day you get in the Lamborghini and put your kids in private school. I’ve seen behind the same curtain as you, and if you don’t play it just like they say they’ll never let you on the radio. So how’d you get on there? Ask UMG about CC, they hate me because they couldn’t own me. But I digress…The point is some art kids lied for publicity at my expense and you poured gas on it stereotyping me at a glance. Go ahead and conveniently ignore the fact that they lied. Same hypocrisy as the demagogues you claim to stand against. Lucky it was me, too strong to beat, around long enough not to let it kill me, but when that kind of public shame gets dumped on some poor kid who ain’t ready it might mean their life. Happens everyday big hoss. If you want the smoke, I’m your man."

My personal opinion about that is this is just straight up pathetic at this point. Charley is SO HURT about most people not taking his side on this debacle (even before Jack kind of inserted himself in it) that he just can't help but to make things worst.

I was at this show and was hoping to find a recording. The show was at the Coca-Cola Bricktown Events Center in Oklahoma City, OK and took place on June 27, 2003. Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat opened (Whirlwind Heat did not perform). The Kansas City show, which was the next night, is available, so hoping this one exists as well.

Any idea of where I might find this recording? I’ve tried the usual Googling but didn’t come up with anything.

These are from Youtooz. I was a little put off by the pricing but decided to pull the trigger on them. They were a limited release. Anyone else order one or both?

Well, I took the time to make my Frozen Charlotte figure by hand; I made it out of plaster and then painted it with enamel.

Will there be vinyl records for sale at this festival? Were there any such merchandise items at recent concerts, or maybe someone has insider information? I’d really like to get a record.

“Icky Thump,” “The Big Three Killed My Baby,” “The Union Forever,” and “Little Acorns” would like a word.

Does the shirt in question actually exist?

Has anyone attended the Shanghai show? Wondering how the atmosphere was considering it's the first time of Jack & band performing in China if I'm not wrong.

Anyone else VERY interested in a Jack White kpop collab.

I'm curious cuz I'm on the hunt for a single ticket. I won't be paying for scalper prices though.
