TOMORROW! Tuesday the 22nd of October 2019. Tomorrow, the fourth installment of the Striped podcast will be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world, available to all via your favorite podcasting app (or right here! bit.ly/StripedPod).

If you've been listening, you've heard the original story from the people that were there, from Brendan Benson to Ben Blackwell, the Reverend Doctor Johnny Walker of the Soledad Brothers to his majesty Wayne Kramer of the MC5. You've learned about the genesis of the mid-late 90's motor city garage rock renaissance that gave birth to the White Stripes, the musical backstory, the socioeconomic backstory, insight into the scene at the time. Hell, bop up to Detroit and you could probably give a pretty convincing tour yourself at this point.

In the most recent episode you lucky folks who purchased Vault 41 may have even heard a few familiar tunes from The Go, how Dave Buick’s jacket and haircut cemented his place in the band, and the story of their involvement with Sub Pop. We even got into the beginnings of the debut White Stripes LP, its recording in a freezing-cold chicken slaughterhouse, leading up to its release by the hugely influential Sympathy For the Record Industry. Not to mention a couple little Easter eggs from Vault 42...

SPEAKING of which - BEHOLD! Episode 4 jumps right in at the self-titled White Stripes LP. If you're positively itching as we are for the release of Vault 42, this is an episode not to be missed. 30-odd minutes of intimate insight, inexhaustible inspiration and incalculable insanity (Thanks be to Roget's Thesaurus) beginning thusly the White Stripes' steady rise to global rock domination and the pantheon of the stadium chant elite.
