The White Stripes Discover Small is Beautiful in Nova Scotia

“Well, you’re in your little room, and you’re working on something good,” Jack White once sang. “But if it’s really good, you’re gonna need a bigger room.” “Little Room” was just a forty-five-second ditty on 2002’s White Blood Cells, but it also spoke to the paradox of fame: Once you’re a celebrity, you can never again be the person who created the art that made you one. Five years later, the White Stripes are genuine rock stars touring the far reaches of Canada in an effort to play all the little rooms they can find — elementary school classrooms, hockey rinks, cramped pool halls, Inuit Elder meetings, fishing boats and city buses. For their tenth anniversary show on Sunday in remote harbor town Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, they managed to find one room that was nearly perfect: The Savoy, an intimate theater built in the early 1920s to replicate old Victorian music halls – and which happens to be schemed almost entirely in red, black and white, and (if you believe the locals) haunted by as many ghosts as the band’s music. Both sides of the “White family” were in attendance for the occasion, and eager fans dressed in color-coordinated outfits were rewarded with small cups of champagne by the Stripes road crew pre-show. (For details on the Stripes’ two-hour tour through the best of their catalog and more, read on.) Over two thrilling hours, Jack and Meg laid out their catalog in trash-candy collage form — stitching old riffs into new songs, teasing familiar melodies, improvising verses and balancing nostalgic rarities (“Wasting My Time”) with the majority of its new material. All the songs flowed into one viscerally played stream of consciousness, and as they bled together, the common element between them — White’s encyclopedic command of American musical traditions — became clearer. Ultimately, the only ghosts of the night were the ones White summoned from his influences: Son House (“Death Letter,” “John the Revelator”), Blind Willie Johnson (“Lord, Send Me

The White Stripes Let Loose In New York City

Jack White has spent the last two years playing with his excellent band The Raconteurs, raising babies in Nashville with his model wife, and talking to the press about how much he’s enjoyed mellowing out. But White found himself as an artist within the self-enforced rigidity of the White Stripes, and as much as he may like palling around with Brendan Benson and pushing baby carriages, last night’s White Stripes show at New York’s Fillmore East suggests he’s ready to be a rock star again. The White Stripes, who are currently promoting yesterday’s release of their sixth album, Icky Thump, packed hundreds of committed fans plus the requisite handful of bold-ish names (Macaulay Culkin, Andy Samberg, who seems to have replaced Jimmy Fallon as the officially rock-informed SNL cast member, and Jamie Burke, Sienna Miller’s boyfriend who fronts his own band, Bloody Social) into this steamy venue for a somewhat secret show that went on for two long hours of mostly awesome, occasionally brilliant, and sometimes weirdly droning rock. The first half hour of the set was a cathartic explosion of brawny, bluesy aggression as the band ripped through songs the crowd was dying to hear. These included “Dead Leaves And the Dirty Ground,” the new single “Icky Thump,” “Hotel Yorba,” their much-loved cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” and a particularly mesmerizing take on “I Think I Smell A Rat,” which White tricked out with weird sonic allusions to Dick Dale’s Pulp Fiction-affiliated surf-guitar romp “Misirlou.” Midway through the show the band played a string of comparatively low-key tunes, like “The Same Boy You’ve Always Known” and the Meg-sung indie-boy pleaser “In The Cold, Cold Night.” By the time they got to the elegant, heartbreaking renditions of “Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother’s Heart” and “You̵

White Stripes Reveal Secret Collaborator (Beck), Secret Video (”Conquest”), Secret Talent (Bullfighting)

Last week, the White Stripes posted on their Web site that they will have a new single, “an exciting new video” and three new songs out soon. Apparently, the Stripes were just as impatient to reveal the details as we were to hear them. The most noteworthy revelation is that Beck has been cast as their “secret collaborator” (and not Bob Dylan). The duo recorded three songs in Mr. Hansen’s living room, with all three Beck-produced songs landing on the B-side of a trio of multi-colored 7″s for the next single, “Conquest.” The “Black vinyl” includes “It’s My Fault for Being Famous,” which features Beck on vocals and piano, while the “White vinyl” has “Honey, We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap,” which has Beck on slide guitar. The “Red vinyl” contains “Cash Grab Complications on the Matter,” which simply just has Beck as producer. If you can’t get your hands on any of these 7″s, or you just don’t have a record player, all three, plus a mariachi version of “Conquest,” will be available digitally. The last bit of news might well be the best: For the “Conquest” video, Jack White will play a matador. To make the video “as authentic as possible,” White “trained extensively” with an actual bullfighter named Dennis Borba. Borba has his own Web site and bull-riding school, so you know he’s the real deal. The video was shot in two days in Artesia, California, and follows “an explosive — if unconventional — love story that pits man against bull in the ultimate conquest.” The video is set to premiere on MTV on November 26th (imagine that, videos on MTV) before conquesting over to iTunes the next day.
