Surprise surprise, Floria Sigismondi directed this gem. Jack White’s up there on my Spank Bank list and this video does not help. I don’t think this goth thing was just a phase for me.

Wasting no time I see! The White Stripes are releasing a Documentary of their 2007 Canadian tour entitled Under Great White Northern Lights. I can understand that Jack White has been busy since then with his other band and his other, other band but is this still relevant in the general sense or are the White Stripes just throwing its Canadian audience a bone? The packaging is actually quite lovely and it does include 3 unreleased live tracks including “Let’s Shake Hands” but this seems like a release just for hardcore fans of the two-tone band.
I couldnt deprive my co-author AliUptown of the pleasure of seeing Jack White armed to the teeth and wearing tight pants in this video “Treat Me Like Your Mother” directed by Jonathan Glazer.
The Dead Weather’s Horehound is out TODAY (Tue the 14th) Go fucking get it or we will all think you are a weirdo whose afraid of good records. The Dead Weather are taking over the WOXY (http://www.woxy.com/) airwaves for an exclusive day-of-release DJ set starting 1pm (CST?). Jack White, Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Dean Fertita (QOTSA) and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) will all be hosting/spinning the jams. The show will also repeat Saturday, July 18th from 4-6PM.
Although not out until next Tuesday (I already have a copy, thanks!) Horehound from Jack White’s Other Other Band The Dead Weather is streaming live at ilike.com/thedeadweather. And I should tell you, it’s fantastic! Jack White has proven once again why he is one of the best, most productive performers in Rock and Roll. (Jealous, Ryan Adams?) This album is cool, dark, arty and viceral. Oh, and it fucking Rocks!
There is a short film for, “Treat Me Like Your Mother” directed by Jonathan Glazer set to premiere on Cinemax July 11th at 9:55pm. I’m sure it will be followed by softcore porn. There are 2 trailers for the film available from Jack White and Dead Weather bandmate Alison Mosshart (from the Kills).
