White Stripes bonanza on BBC

BBC radio and TV are throwing serious resources at Icky Thump, the new White Stripes album. BBC Interactive and the web site are currently showing a 25 minute loop of the exciting gig the duo just recorded at Maida Vale studios, to be aired in full on Wednesday, as part of Radio 1’s White Stripes Day.

It’s not often that Music for Grown-Ups trails Radio 1 programmes, but the White Stripes are an exception: they’re the future of rock music. Or, maybe, its last, dying gasp? An unmissable band, White Stripes have now released half a dozen splendid albums for grown-ups.
