Whoa, I haven’t seen the White Stripes on anything for quite awhile!- that’s interesting about the multi-part U2 series as well. I like “Get On Your Boots”; it seems different than what their material has been for the past couple albums, but still…I don’t know if they can harness the epic-ness of their first string of releases. Boy and War are still my favourites!
