RIP White Stripes
The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011,
their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.
The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any
health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health.
It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special about
the band and have it stay that way.
Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible
support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of the White Stripes’ intense and
incredible career.
Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from
The White Stripes in their Vault Subscription record club, as well as through regular
channels.
Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn’t met with sorrow by their fans but that it is
seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has
created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who’ve shared in those
creations, with their feelings considered greatly.
With that in mind the band have this to say:
“The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong
to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is
that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your
involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”
Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
The White Stripes

I’m in a little shock with this news. I remember the first time I heard The White Stripes, I thought it was completely obnoxious. It wasn’t until I saw their series of videos done by Michel Gondry that I started getting into their words/music. 7 Nation Army hooked me and then it was all over, I was sold. Watch Under Great White Northern Lights for a glimpse into this dynamic duo’s legacy.
SASHA BARR x THE HEAD & THE HEART
Sasha Barr has just put out 3 clean print pieces for Seattle’s own The Head & The Heart who just recently joined the SUB POP family! Pat on the back kids! Hopefully these prints will make it into Sasha’s shop soon & MAYBE at merch tables. Want to see more work of Sasha Barr? Spend some time HERE !
PS: Seatown is offering so much goodness right now, watch out!
MINE IS YOURS
(ALBUM COVER)
COLD WAR KIDS release their 3rd full length album “Mine is Yours” Jan 25th. They’ve released 3 killer signature songs already from it and I’m thinking these appetizers are incredible glimpses into their most cohesive/dynamic release yet. These kids have always delivered with a confident honesty and done it on the back bone of sparse contributions that team up into a fine sucker punch. CWK has just released a special ltd. 500 deluxe package that includes: Signed Vinyl + CD + Digital + T-shirt + Lithograph for 44 bones. A STEAL! If you order it now it will be on your doorstep the day of its official release. I support these South Cali kids loud & proud. Here’s a peek into their album:
Macklemore – My Oh My
One day I went by the studio of PSMOOV and he introduced me to a guy named Macklemore. I was just discovering the Seattle hip-hop scene and as I was observing them go over a few tracks and lyrics, back then, I had no clue I was sitting amongst some giants (I can admit he probably doesn’t remember this) that I would become a huge fan of. Macklemore has been huge in giving Sea-town the props it deserves and I enjoy his music talent immensely. Here’s his new video for “My Oh My”. Directed by JKoe Photography and produced by Ryan Lewis.
