i have zero interesting things to talk about today, and i'm not allowed to talk about what i'm doing tomorrow. but i figured this would be interesting to a good majority of people i'm either dating or friends with or who read this blog. so here you are:New White Stripes album: Get Behind Me Satan. (ok then...)
The album will be released on June 6 in the UK and June 7 Stateside.
The first single, "Blue Orchid", will be released one week earlier.
While some tour dates have already been announced, Jack White has told the LA Times that he and Meg plan to play "events" rather than traditional concerts in initial support of the album. He went on to say, "First we're going to play where we are not well known. Then if we have time, we will play New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Frankly, we are waiting for technology to advance in the United States before we attempt to perform this record live there."
All this info comes from the nice folks at Pitchfork.
