The White Stripes documentary Under Great Northern Lights is set to come out on dvd March 16. Some select AMC theaters are showing it (good luck finding one around here). But the trailer looks pretty sweet.
We'd be remiss if we did not include a photo of drumming goddess Meg White. Hummahnah, hummahnah...
In honor, here's some of our fav White Stripes performances:
Hate to say this but Meg White is probably the worst drummer in the history of rock and roll. Jack White is a genius who has turned the genre on it's head, but Meg? Ugh. I saw the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather last year, the latter with Jack on drums. Dead Weather ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds of them.
Jack is ten times the drummer that Meg is. No, make that a hundred times better. Hell, the drummer in my band is a hundred times better than Meg. I can't even listen to White Stripes because she's so bad. I never understood why he wanted to be saddled down with such a talent void like Meg. I guess Lennon had his Yoko. He's just so great that most casual observers don't notice how bad Meg really is.
I am a bold figure, often seen powerwalking and crushing cans. I have been known to rock a microphone. I translate American Idol for enemy noncombatants. I routinely manage to infurriate DC Metro service personel. I woo women with my impressive name-dropping and my astounding ability at butterbean shelling.
When I'm bored, I take a case of wine over to my friend's house and get introduced to all the Puerto Rican girls who are dying to meet me.
I am a logical negativist who has propounded a set of laws that the world ignores, to its detriment.
I am an expert in Post-Civil War Reconstruction, a veteran of Greenwood Baseball, and an outlaw in Murrell's Inlet.
I once built a perpetual motion machine with Steve Roberts. I make homemade Sprite. I have been and remain on double secret probation.
The Russians call me "Vilnius Nastavic," because I require but one ping. I used to handle black ops for the United States Postal Service. I helped open Dog One and have doctored flight logs for rising 5-star colonels.
I have driven from Texarkana to Atlanta in 28 hours. I had no fatalities during my brief career on the safety patrol.

Nice rack though...
I can honestly say I have never paid attention to her playing. I've been more concerned with her "kit." And it's maginificent.
You're a sick puppy, my man.
