The White Stripes are no more

ByDarren O

One of the most influential bands of the last 15 years has officially called it quits.  The tandem of Jack and Meg White will never play live or record another new album together again, this according to their official website.  Here’s a screen grab of the thoughtful good-bye:

I think that just about says it all.  It had been since 2007 since the band released an album but this news is not only shocking but so darn FINAL.

I don’t know what to do with myself but since they belong to me now I think I’m going to go grab a 6-pack and put on “Elephant” and turn that mother up loud.  Thank you Jack and Meg for all the great music.

VIDEO Jack White’s surprise street performance at SXSW

ByDarren O

Jack White’s Third Man Records based out of Nashville went mobile and rolled up to Austin’s SXSW festival in the form of a big yellow truck. All of that’s fine and dandy and hipster “whatever” being that it’s hard to make news at what has arguably become THE music festival but when White himself stepped out with the baddest looking Gretsch acoustic you’ll see and began to belt out Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away,” well, BLAMMO! Check out the high quality video of the entire performance from NPR right here.

Legendary guitar picker Jack White on American Pickers tonight
