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
Record Store Day is going to be a most bountiful holiday with gifts galore for music fans everywhere. Already, a ton of releases have already been posted at RecordStoreDay.com but now there are even more limited edition releases to whet your turntable's appetite. First off, up top, is the artwork for Radiohead's forthcoming release. It features two brand new songs, "The Butcher" and "Supercollider," the latter of which has been played… Read More
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

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
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. 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
