Some bands sell t-shirts -- others sell special edition box sets. The White Stripes sell custom made cameras known internationally for their imperfections and the unique images those imperfections produce.
The JACK Holga and MEG Diana+ Lomographic cameras adhere to the band's red, white and black color scheme, and even don a peppermint swirl on the frame advance dial.
Each all-plastic camera comes with its own set of accessories. The MEG comes with "Nobody Knows How To Talk to Children" ringflash and custom Peppermint Film Mask Filter. The JACK is equipped with an additional fish-eye lens, three filter set and custom Peppermint Len Filter.
Only 3,000 units of each camera are being produced, so photographic music fans should hurry.

What do the White Stripes,The Raconteurs and the film "Cold Mountain" have in common? A certain man by the name of Jack White -- and if you're half the fan the TMZ staff is, then it's time to wipe away those Monday blues with the following eBay auctions.
When Jack isn't jamming with Meg in White Stripes, he's moonlighting as a Raconteur. Here is your chance to own a poster from a NYC Raconteurs concert -- but not just any poster; it's an original silk-screened limited edition poster by Rob Jones. Just because you weren't there doesn't mean you can't own the art!
If you've been on the lookout for a mandolin, now's your chance to own the one used by Jack White in the film "Cold Mountain." Jack played the mandolin while he sang "Never Far Away." Imagine how jealous the rest of the guys in your bluegrass band will be when you strum this beauty.

If you have an extra $1 million sitting around, you can snatch up the Detroit mansion the White Stripes used to record the Grammy-winning album "Get Behind Me Satan." The band recorded the album in just two weeks at their "Third Man" studio, located in the foyer of the house.
Jack White moved into the majestic house in 2003, which boasts a grand staircase, a beautiful "secret" garden, a dining room with an ornate chandelier and a basement decorated in an all-too-familiar black, white and red. The home's layout and interior can be seen on the house's website, which features a virtual tour of the home.
Now, before you hop in your car and cruise to Motor City for the open house, be warned. You must be pre-approved for an appointment before you can even walk in the door. So gather up a group of your friends and pool your cash, because this house won't be on the market for long.

When advising young artists it always amazes me how many don't have contracts in place with musicians and producers who work on their early demos or even full length releases. It's imperative to clearly communicate, in writing, what each person's role is to prevent future problems.
The White Stripes are learning this lesson in a courtroom years after recording some early material.
A producer sued the band claiming the work he did on their first two records helped create "the White Stripes sound." Jack and Meg White say they paid the guy to record them, but that was it and that he's not due any money beyond the recording fees paid to him all those years ago.
In testimony given at the trial this week an interesting side bar arose. According to the AP, Jason Stollsteimer of the Von Bondies testified about a spat he had with Jack at a Detroit nightclub in 2003. Stollsteimer told the jury he found "a note stuck to my door with a knife in it." The alleged knife pinned up a magazine interview which seemed to minimize White's role in producing a Von Bondies album. The article, Stollsteimer said, had written across it: "That's the last ... time I help you out."
Jack denied the claims and said it was a "laughable lie" that he put the knife in the door. Ironically, the tiff between the musicians grew out of White's involvement with the Von Bondies' 2001 record "Lack of Communication."
