From the folder marked “Whuzzat?” comes an announcement about the UK single for “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do What You’re Told).”
The B-side of that particular single will be…wait for it…a frat rock version.
What does that even mean? Complimentary toga with purchase? Or will everyone, upon listening to it, want to strip […]
Now that the Hotel Yorba is back in business after an unfortunate hiatus, let’s run through the last two weeks and get back up to speed:
Jack & Meg fill the Garden with their massive, magnificent sound!
Alicia Keys really wants to work with the Stripes! Take a number, honey.
Jack says journalists are “the laziest people on […]
Word from the official White wire:
Dear candy cane children,
The White Stripes are announcing that the “single note performance” in Newfoundland will be their last secret/side/B show for quite sometime. Every free performance was a success on the brink of disaster, and the band regrettably must retire them for the time being… undefeated! The Stripes did […]
Jack played a single C-sharp on George Street in the city of St. John’s, Newfoundland on Monday, announcing the end of the Canadian portion of the Stripes’ North American tour. A shout of…
We’ve now officially played in every province and territory in Canada!
…and a quick exit to prepare for a full-length set at St. John’s […]
Have you ever heard the ancient ones talking about a giant, black disc that made noises when you spun it? Apparently, those discs were called “gramophone records” or, more commonly, “vinyl.” No, they weren’t electronic and they certainly didn’t hold gigabytes. No file transfers, no video support. Nothing. Naturally, with the age of the compact […]
Stories are sweeping in about those stranger tour locations on the Stripes’ North American tour:
Daycamp and a young R. Kelly impersonator!
Bagpipes, kilts and a cannon!
Fiddling at the Savoy Theatre!
And finally…
A fishing boat?
The gig spots just keep getting charmingly wackier.

It’s eccentric, it’s exhilarating, it is, in parts, absolutely insane. Yet it’s never less than absolutely compelling, which is what makes the White Stripes one of […]
Word from the official White wire:
The spot for the Stripes’ Anchorage gig has been changed to the George M. Sullivan Sports Arena. Apparently, more space was needed to accommodate all those screaming fans! Don’t worry if you’ve already purchased tickets. They’ll be accepted for GA floor seats.
But that’s not all! New items have been added […]
Word from the official White wire:

Pop the cork on that champagne! The Billboard charts for the week of June 27th have Icky Thump debuting at #2! Even this early, it’s already the Stripes’ best-selling debut.
But there’s a problem, Yorbites. Guess who took #1.
Bon Jovi. Yes, hair-metal-to-country-and-western Bon Jovi, with their Lost Highway.
We can do better for Jack and Meg, […]
