Despite “stringent” anti-piracy methods (releasing the previews on vinyl) The White Stripes‘ new LP, “Elephant”, has found its way onto the Internet. Yeah, I’ve got a copy of it. Yeah, I’ve burned it to a CD. Yeah, I’ve spread it around like peanut-butter. Wanna know why? IT COMPLETELY, TOTALLY, UTTERLY DESTROYS. I can’t make this more apparent!! This album ROCKS. HARD. The Mohs scale now goes to 11!

XL has decided to move the album’s release date up to March 31st (or April 1st, depending on your source) from April 14th because of this. AWESOME, I saw! I can’t wait to get my hands on this… I can’t explain the rock-tasticness that is Elephant.

Wanna see the promo shots for Elephant? sure you
do. also, a crap photo of the cover.

I think Meg looks like Bobbie Gentry in those shots, and Jack is toting dead cowboy like no man has seen before. So yeah, if you thought that Jack and Meg were creepy before, I’m sure you’ll be recoiling in fear from those shots. This whole undead look is due to the extreme strain that such rock would naturally impart upon the bodies of only two human beings. Behold a pale horse, and upon him a pale rider, and what followed was ROCK!!! \m/

I nabbed those shots from triple tremelo. the cover was via whitestripes.net.
