05.22.2005 // WEBSITE ISSUES

Sorry for the website being down the past few days. I would like to point I had this website hosted by a different company the past few weeks. That company took the money I paid them then shut this site down, for no reason and ignored all support emails from me. Basically, they took my money and ran. If you are looking for webhosting I would advise you not to use the company, Vizaweb.

Edit - A few hours after I posted this, they refunded all of my money. So, case closed.

05.11.2005 // BLUE ORCHID VIDEO COMPLETE

From MTV.com:

"In the video, directed by moody auteur Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People," Christina Aguilera's "Fighter"), Jack's decked out in black, maniacally stroking his now-infamous Grammy mustache, while Meg White lurks in the background and white snakes, apples and horses mill about. It's a scene straight out of the Garden of Eden ... but with much better music. "

05.08.2005 // LA WEEKLY ARTICLE

"A new White Stripes song came on the radio last week. The song itself a 157-second slice of raw, immediate AC/DC-Queen falsetto disco rawk called Blue Orchid is kinda new, kinda old, kinda weird and pretty great, like White Stripes singles always are."
