The collaboration between Detroiters Black Milk and Jack White has come become reality with two new tracks that surfaced online this week.

Milk posted the tracks on his blog, calling the work with White "one of the greatest moments in my career." Now based in Nashville, White called on Milk to perform a live show at his Third Man Records; an album with those live recordings is still in the works.

"Brain" and "Royal Mega" are the first two tastes of what's to come from the collaboration. It's
available on iTunes and at Milk's online store, and 100 (that's right, just 100) limited edition vinyl copies will be available at People's Records in Detroit on Friday.

Listen to the first two tracks after the jump!

Last Ever Jack White/Third Man Post!


Really! I'm quite sick of him at this moment. Not as an artist or performer. But as a record label boss. How much nonsense can he stand to release? I mean, does anyone really want to buy a 7" of an auctioneer rambling on and on about a mock auction? Don't answer that! Even from a collector's point of view, how can you keep up? At the rate he's issuing all these vinyl gimmicks, you'll be broke by Spring. Enough already.

Is he taking advantage of record label completists? You decide. I've already stopped buying all his bullshit releases.

Read all the details as ripped off from Pitchfork after the jump...

R.I.P. White Stripes



Really? Didn't they already break up, like, three years ago? Is this really a shock to anyone? I mean, Icky Thump came out in 2007 and the only other things they've done since have been one live dvd/cd/lp and several vinyl re-issues by TMR.

Does all of this mean that Jack can finally focus more of his time on Third Man and pressing limited edition peanut butter and banana swirl vinyl and flying pig turntables? Thank God!

Good riddance, fare thee well, Jack and Meg. Maybe now we can all pay a little more attention to that other two-piece blues outfit that truly deserve all the hype!

Third Man Records - The Craziness Continues...

Am I the only one getting tired of Jack White's gratuitous pursuit of never ending limited releases? How does one keep up? I'm still trying to get over his "direct to eBay" bullshit. I mean, the whole payoff for keeping one's ear to the ground is to score a limited release on the cheap before it's gone - just because ticket scalpers are getting hundreds of dollars for choice seats doesn't justify charging hundreds of dollars face. And all that charity talk was just a feeble attempt at damage control.... imho. Jack, you should take a cue from Pearl Jam who know how to do their vinyl right.

Thanks to COS...

Because you need some vinyl to play on your new candy cane coated record player, The White Stripes will reissue their first three studios albums — 1999’s s/t debut, 2000’s De Stijl, and 2001’s White Blood Cells — on November 30th via frontman Jack White’s personal imprint, Third Man Records. All three records have been out of print since 2005 and according to the label, “the utmost care was taken in presenting these records in the best way possible.”
