white stripes?

["Helen" <elbo@xxxxxxxxx>]

i saw "the white stripes" (the brother and sister band, Meg and Jack,
right?) mentioned in this post. hey i`ve read a lot about them, they are in
every New Musical Express magazine I buy, and they are very highly praised,
for
keeping to the old blues traditions and stuff, and in the pics they look
kinda stylish, but i can`t find anything of them, like cds and stuff, to
hear their music - are they realy so good?
and i also heard that "the datsuns" from either australia or new zealand, i
don`t remember now, are called the new Who! what can you say to THIS? i
never heard the datsuns either.
Helen.
