Well, Shit

I downloaded the new Dead Weather album today, and as I listened to it I wondered idly when the next White Stipes album might come out.

It looks like the answer is never. Less than an hour after listening to Jack White's new project, I read news of the band's official disbanding. The statement was released today.

I can't say that I'm surprised. The "band" felt really unfocused and disjointed on Icky Thump, and lately Jack's been doing everything in the world except working with Meg.

So, I sort of expected it, and I can accept it, but I don't have to like it.

Not one bit.
