Video: The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier

Jack White picked a perfect time to shelve The White Stripes and found The Raconteurs. After the piano and marimba tedium of Get Behind Me Satan and with persistent speculation as to what White might do with a full band at his disposal, something needed to change even if only for an album or two. Broken Boy Soldiers is as assured a debut as you will find, of course, it doesn't hurt that White and Brendan Benson (yin to White's yang and ultimately crucial in this venture) are the lead songwriters, and capable hands like Jack [...]

Today's dose, written by emoisforluvers , is of Jack White's side project, The Raconteurs . The band combines rock n' roll and blues with pop melodies. Check 'em out!

Sleepercar , the El Paso-based side project of Sparta's Jim Ward, pays a call on the Mink tonight, topping a typically eclectic local bill of Buxton, B., the Jonbenet and Giant Princess. Doors at 8. "A Broken Promise": Sleepercar's debut, West Texas (Doghouse/Civil Defense League), is shaping up to be one of the best Texas and alt.country - though it's equally indie-rock - releases of the year, so seeing them in close quarters like the Mink is a rare treat indeed. How did this happen, anyway? [...]

Seguendo il suggerimento di Giggi , sono andato a cercare del materiale sui Raconteurs e ne sono rimasto piacevolmente colpito. Tra le varie cose devo dire il loro sito ufficiale , con grafica commodore è veramente una figata pazzesca. La loro musica è davvero coinvolgente per non parlare di questo video che ho trovato su You tube. Ringrazio ancora Giggi per avermi fatto conoscere una nuova band. Per tutti i lettori di soundsblog ecco i The Raconteurs con "Broken boy soldier"

Aloha Wedding? Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are planning to marry next summer. The couple, who met on the set of the show, announced their engagement earlier in the year. Dom is desperate to start a family with Lilly and recently admitted: "I've been broody since, like, 11! I love kids. I love being around wild animals or babies because it's a pure interaction there. It's fun." A source said: "They decided the time was right and they are very much in love. It will be a summer wedding." Will be interesting to see how the writers cope when Kate [...]

Dopo il video di Steady, as she goes diretto da Jim Jarmush, The Raconteurs , attraverso il profilo ufficiale Youtube di Beggars, diffondono la clip di Broken Boy Soldier in anticipo rispetto all'uscita del nuovo singolo, prevista per il 23 ottobre su Xl Recordings . File under Svankmajer / QuayBros / Sigismondi

Beggars has posted the new Raconteurs video for "Broken Boy Soldiers" to YouTube I'm still surprised about how good this band was at Lollapalooza. They sounded so much better and more badass than the album....

Jack says he's "done ripping (himself) off," and this video has the stop-animation-squirrels firing acorn-cannons to prove it. Otherwise, it's a literal affair, with the band in an enchanted forrest and a creepy, toy, broken-boy soldier (who plays skate guitar!)....
