Sean, how much do you hate the white stripes right now?

Season 1 is Striped. The story of the White Stripes is officially all said and done.

We have season two coming up in a few months, as well as a surprise or two heading your way in the new year.

But to tide you over until then, we have some season one bonus content

for the next three weeks that will really scratch that super fan itch. This first episode is a deep

dive into some of the songs that made it onto the White Stripes debut album and some of the

songs that didn't. This isn't comprehensive. We don't go through every track meticulously, and there's no set format.

It's just Blackwell providing context for some of the songs and tidbits about their creation,

some of which you may have already heard, but a lot of which is brand new, even for the biggest fans.

So sit back and enjoy this bonus episode of Striped, the story of the White Stripes.

So the first song on the album Jimmy the Exploder I remember

the white strips did a demo session

they recorded some

some early demos

that was that was one of the first songs

that they had played. The song Jimmy the Exploder is about a monkey

that explodes things that aren't the color red one of the first songs that they had played. The song Jimmy the Exploder is about a monkey that

explodes things that aren't the color red. Green apple is on the tree and growing now. Green

apple is going to be exploding now. And I specifically remember talking to Jack when they were

recording their first Italy single. And I said, well, what's the, what's the single going to be? What's the Asego me? He said, oh, we're going to do let's shake hands,

which is a fairly new song in their repertoire at that point. And I said, let's shake hands.

What about like Jimmy the Exploder? Like, that seems like a tried and true, like quintessential white stripe song.
