The Modern Age

Eagle-eyed readers pointed me to this news story from Pitchfork about the total FAKENESS of the “Meg White Sex Tape”. In a statement from the White Stripes’ publicist:
“Some people have a very twisted sense of humor and this prank is in particularly bad taste. The tape circulating on the internet as featuring Meg White is [...]

Ok, this morning I did not expect to be barraged with salacious images of one of the members of one of my favorite bands ever. I’m saddened by all of this. I have NOT watched the video nor have I even looked closely at the photos, so I cannot vouch for the validity of this [...]

I’m wearing a White Stripes t-shirt from the Get Behind Me Satan tour. Rest up, Meg!

From the official White Stripes newsletter:
The White Stripes announced today that they are canceling their forthcoming tour due to health issues. Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time.
The White Stripes sincerely apologize to their fans.
“We hate to let people down and are very sorry.”

You know, I still hope that Jack White and Shirley Manson will one day do a duet. (I have yet to see any updated information on the rumored collaboration they were slated to do on Shirley’s solo album. WHERE IS IT?!?!) I love Shirley, she’s so awesome.

Hey guys–sorry my updating has been very lacking of late. I’m steadily and rapidly falling into old lady-hood, as you can probably tell by my choice of delicious links. Oh yeah, and I started doing yoga again. I’m trying out a bunch of studios in downtown Manhattan, so if you have any recommendations, let me [...]

According to that trash rag The Associated Press, Jack White and wife Karen Elson greeted their second child into this big bad world on Tuesday, August 7th. His name is fitting of a Southern gentleman, Henry Lee White. Surely 15-month old big sister Scarlett Teresa looks forward to sharing her baby sunblock with him. Congratulations [...]

I’m so STOKED that this is the next single! It’s one of my favorite songs off Icky Thump.
From the official press release:
Jack and Meg just finished a video for their next single, “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told)”. It was filmed in the Nunavut territory in the [...]
