I was brave enough to go on a White Stripes podcast and say “I don’t really like their gimmick”

This pod is really fun and if you’re a Stripes fan you should be listening regardless of me being a generational hater

Take all your problems and rip 'em apart.

@johncullen.bsky.social joins the show to discuss 'Little Acorns.'

They chat about the song's serendipitous origins, then John and Ryan begin a spirited conversation about the band's approach to music.

Always a pleasure talking to @schaaptop.bsky.social about one of my favorite bands. Somehow, we also talk about The Jetsons, Robocop, Tesla versus Edison, wacky drum kits and about 100 other bands as well.

Shelter of Your Arms is the song this week. Is this your first time hearing about this song? It's a hell of a deep cut B-side, and it sounds like nothing the Stripes had done previously.

"Little Cream Soda" ft. Sam Phelps is available now.

A key track off 2007's Icky Thump that was just sorta "lying around" for the band. a very common trend for the White Stripes.

"I Think I Smell A Rat" ft. Matt Kerr

Through some old clips we discover the origin of this song is @officialjackwhite.bsky.social getting upset with some 8-year old punks on BMX bikes outside the gas station.

The man just wanted a fresh pack of smokes!
