Episode 62 – De Stijl: Album Analysis & Review pt2

We got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read? It said hurry hurry and listen to the Third Men Podcast! This week our all-new album analysis and review of the White Stripes sophomore LP release, De Stijl, comes to its epic conclusion! In the spring of 2000 Jack and Meg White had a handful of singles, a debut LP, some local rock and roll stardom and a couple of day jobs under their belts on the chilly streets of Detroit – but all of that was about to change. The married duo that had baffled so many with their color schemes and brother/sister mythology found their real-life relationship at an end, and their musical path at a crossroads. This is the environment that would bring out one of the most colorful, hard-edged blues/pop records to grace the new millennium, and the last big step in the direction of the kind of fame there would be no turning back from for the White Stripes. In part two of our two-part coverage, we explore from Death Letter and beyond, going through track-by-track and uncovering some hidden meaning in this rock and roll manifesto. Plus, Third Man Wayne Kaminski stops by to fill everyone in on the brand new Beatles podcast Yesterday & Today Podcast that we're launching next month! So pull up your triple tremolo and let us explain ya the rest of De Stijl!
