Video: The Dead Weather "Treat Me Like Your Mother"

So exciting! The Bangles -- who completely ruled at the Illinois State Fair last year opening for Heart -- are playing at the Pageant on Sunday, May 2. When I interviewed Matthew Sweet and Susanna... Continue reading "The Bangles Are Playing At the Pageant! So is the Dead Weather!" >

2009 brought us some interesting videos from some interesting artists. Lady Gaga taught us all about bad romances and pokerfaces. MGMT gave us some videos reflecting their drug-induced parties. Coldplay showed us that yes, even a band of puppets can put on quite the stage show. Tons of websites have versions of these, so I [...]

Unless you've been hiding in a hermit hole during the last few weeks, you've been inundated by "best of" lists touting opinions that may or may not be agreeable. Generally, I find myself in disagreement with the idea of such lists since opinion, particularly in the arts, is often relative. I tend to disregard the categorical aspect of these lists, but from them make my own list of work I have never seen/heard of before and try to remedy that disparity. This year however, I would like to give a nod to Jack White, who is well [...]

My mother says you can tell a lot about a guy by the way he treats his mother. There is some truth in it, but in my experience, this statement doesn't always hold up. Either way, this song reminds me of her. If you need some music to fuel your anger about a troubled romance, this is the jam for you! The Dead Weather is composed of Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount), Jack White (of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs), Dean Fertita (of Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (of [...]

• The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother

Sometimes it feels like a stretch in order to put together a collection of the year's best; this time around, it was difficult to cut it down to a solid 20. The video's I have selected show the full range of moodier music videos, from big-budget successes to the D.I.Y. goofs. Some were picked because they're the work of boundary breaking directors, in each case these are videos I think you'll want to watch on your computer, perhaps over and over. Technical precision matters but entrainment value matters most of all. I hope [...]

As ever, the art of presentation hasn't been lost on Jack White. The name of his latest side-project, the title of their debut album and the cover artwork tell you much of what to expect within. This is dark, primal bluesy rock music, wicked and nasty; dirty and thick; and brimming with just a hint of suppressed violence. White has become something of a poster boy for the preservation of the record as an art form - from the imagery its title and artwork provoke; through to its tracklisting and old-school 'play-out as an album' ethos. As [...]

Is there anybody who has benefitted more from Jack White's bizarre string of side projects than Jack Lawrence? A few years ago, the bassist was languishing in obscurity with the hard-toiling, little-known blues trio the Greenhornes . Then, White recruited him and fellow Greenhorne Patrick Keeler to play in the Do Whaters, Loretta Lynn 's backing band for her 2004 album Van Lear Rose . A year later, Lawrence and Keeler became the rhythm section of the Raconteurs , White's collaboration with singer-songwriter Brendan Benson . After the band released two albums and toured the [...]

Saw The Dead Weather last night. Twas the best show of the year at least. Jack and Alison are archetypal rock stars. I can't get enough. I have to clip my ipod to my underwears because I don't wanna stop hearing it just because I have to put my jimjams on. (The only working ipod doesn't plug into a stereo here.) When customers leave the shop I quick plug it in. There's a new plan to woo Jack with a De Stijl quilt. That's right, get ready. As per my new policy of not taking photos at shows (distracting [...]

Thanks to the crispy, crispy, credit crunch, I've had to drastically change the way I buy music. I - and I think it's no different for my fellow 100b chums - pick and choose and whittle down, and I mean waaay down, the list of albums. So the ones I select for the Merry Month are the best ones I've heard, but aren't necessarily the best of what came out. On the other hand, singles have become really important to me these days. OK, so first up my pick for best album: [...]
