I guess Meg has recovered from her "acute anxiety"......
The White Stripes have been busy making a video for "Conquest", their third single. Directed by prolific music videographer Diane Martel.....the video follows an explosive - if unconventional - love story that pits man against bull in the ultimate conquest. To make his performance as authentic as possible, Jack White trained extensively with famed bullfighter Dennis Borba. The video will premiere on MTV on November 26th and will be available on iTunes from November 27th."Conquest" will also be released as a single; stunningly packaged and featuring three exclusive new tracks across three 7" vinyl formats - one black, one white and one red colored vinyl. Jack and Meg recently recorded the new tracks with Beck, who co-produced all three tracks during a recording session in his living room and also contributed vocals and piano to "It's My Fault For Being Famous" and slide guitar on "Honey, We Can't Afford To Look This Cheap".
Inspired by the "Conquest" video, each single will also include a Mondo Toro trading card featuring the legendary, near-mythical matadors El Sloth, El Bianca Rosa and El Perdador. Despite being from early 1900's Spain and Portugal, these bullfighters look strangely familiar. US copies of these singles will also include a different poster with each release.
These vinyl singles will be released in the US on December 18th and in the UK on December 31st. Full track listings are listed below:

Humph. Someone has to force me to read this post. It's too big and boring. Brevity is the sister of talent, remember that.

This whole situation is SO absurd. Your post strikes as serious for you only. What can we do but make jokes about it?
