Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Announced on June 28, UK music magazine NME launched an iPad app for fans of singer and guitarist Jack White of White Stripes fame.
According to NME, the app "gives you the chance to take in the history of one of the most celebrated characters in rock 'n' roll of the last 15 years."
The app features insights into White's early life, as well as details about his White Stripes career, his forming of The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, and his work on the new album, Rome, featuring his contributions alongside Danger Mouse and Norah Jones. The app, which features "never before seen" photos, text, videos, and audio clips, retails for £3.99 (around 4.50 euros).
White founded Third Man Records, which specializes in vinyl, in Detroit in 2001, then established its first office in Nashville in 2009. To commemorate the opening, White debuted his band, The Dead Weather. All six studio albums by the White Stripes carry the logo, as well as both albums by the Raconteurs.
The new White app joins a slew of other apps by major artists available for uber-fandom - Eminem, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, just to name a few. If Foo Fighters is more your style, you can stay on top of the latest from the band with the Foo Fighters app for Android. The app funnels updates from Twitter, YouTube, and interviews from SoundCloud into a one-stop location for all your news on the band.
