Beck, Josh Homme remix The White Stripes and The Dead Weather

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

I'm still surprised as to why I haven't signed up for Third Man Records' subscription service, The Vault. It might have to do with the fact that I'm broke as all hell but I'm heavily considering a career in theft to get enough money to sign up for the service.
My future life of crime could be due to the fact that the forthcoming package from the vault is quite huge. It includes a 7" vinyl that features a remix of The White… Read More

RiO!B episode – February 2, 2011

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Farewell, White Stripes. I never got the chance to see them live but they've been one of my favorite rock bands of all time. Even with all the shit I used to talk about Meg and her drum skills, the music that came from that band was incredible and some of the most lasting music I've heard in a while. The RiO!B even voted Elephant as the number two album of the previous decade.
This episode is our farewell to the combination of Jack… Read More

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

I know we've been begging and pleading for the White Stripes to get back together and release some music for the masses. So until that glorious day comes, this will have to do.
Over at Third Man Records in Nashville, they've cooked up a deal for all you fans that aren't subscribed to their service known as The Vault. For the first quarter of the year (January-March), they're re-issuing the first-ever White… Read More

The White Stripes, De Stijl, White Blood Cells. Those are the first three albums Jack and Meg White released as the brother/sister (husband/wife) duo called The White Stripes. Now, through the amazing Third Man Records, they'll be releasing them again.
How will they release them you ask? Simple:
We started by mastering each LP from the original analog master tapes, the first time this process had been used for any of… Read More

Are the White Stripes ready to return?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

While all of Jack White's fans should appreciate the music he's put out with The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and all the albums that have come from Third Man Records, many are still waiting for the return of the dynamic duo, The White Stripes.
Well, thanks to an interview that White did with Vanity Fair magazine (via Antiquiet,) that… Read More

Jack White is the man

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Jack White is the man. There's no other way to put it. I don't think there's been an artist we've covered on the RiO!B that had three separate stories written about them in one post until now.
First, Jack's new band The Dead Weather (whose new album is insane, btw) have announced a whole new slew of tour dates (via Consequence of Sound). After performing at… Read More
