First post and all that but you don't really want to know about me.

I have a coworker that's playing a gig with the Stripes this month and
another one that's played a show with them in the past.  According to my
coworkers, they are neither married nor siblings.  They were
romantically involved at one time but are no longer.  They do seem to
enjoy the various speculations about their relationship.  In the past,
they've performed live as a duo.
