The White Stripes were not given 'mad bank' for the usage of their song [via commercial licensing]. It seems like they also got [...]
So did you catch that ridiculous-looking Air Force Reserve TV ad on Super Bowl Sunday, or were you getting more chips from the pantry? (Don't lie, we know you love chips. Check it out here .) Well, if you didn't, here's a quick summary: there's a bunch of guys doing a bunch of EXTREME STUFF to the White Stripes' "Fell In Love With a Girl" - or, rather, a really shitty instrumental cover. How "bad" is it? Let's put it this way: imagine one of those "Shredding" videos on YouTube, only if they were totally not a joke at [...]
Filed under: News The White Stripes are not happy with Uncle Sam this week. The object of their displeasure? An ad campaign for the United States' Air Force Reserve that launched during Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast. The 30-second advertisement uses what sounds like an instrumental re-recording of the White Stripes' famous hit, "Fell in Love With a Girl," set against video footage of extreme sports. "The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Releases If there's one thing we know for certain about Jack White , it's that when the elusive blues rocker comes out, he comes out swinging (and cuts like a buffalo).

In an earlier post I introduced a series based on exposing and exploring the incestuous relationships between movies and music. As noted, musicians have often made cameo appearances in movies, musical or otherwise. One of my personal favorites is (of course) Jack White's rendition of a kung-fu savvy "King of Rock 'n' Roll" in the 2007 comedy, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. A relentlessly hysterical spoof of pretty much any music bio-pic one could think of. Watch WALK HARD clip "The King" en [...]

The below article is taken from The Austin Chronicle: "SXSW started as a music fest first, so it's kind of a no-brainer that SXSW Film would make room for movies about music. [...]

Here's some proof positive why I need the White Stripes to hit the road in 2010. their last concert DVD, Under Blackpool Lights is one of the key components to my live music collection. I can't wait for the release of their new DVD project, Under Great Northern Lights , filmed on tour in 2007.
