It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the upcoming Quantum Solace flick, who’s soundtrack is under more then capable hands with Jack White and Alicia Keys onboard. Now, it seems Jack and Coca-Cola have team up for the new Coke Zero commercial, that has Bond theme and vibe to it. The song in the background was obviously made by Jack White with Bond-like themed riffs and heavy beats. Oh, and guess what the predominant…

A while back Jack White made some comments in the previous Rolling Stone issue, in which he called the Detroit music scene very “negative and suffocating.” This lead to a swarm of misunderstanding and misinterpretations among [tag]White Stripes[/tag] fans and Detroit citizens alike, especially considering Jack moved from Detroit to Nashville back in 2006. Thing is Jack really loves his home town and the people who live in it, it’s just the music scene that…
Artist name: The Raconteurs Album name: Consolers of the Lonely Label: Warner Bros. Records Gender: Alternative/Blues Release date: March 25, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.theraconteurs.com Two years ago Jack White announced his latest side project, The Raconteurs, with a bang, after the group’s debut record “Broken Boy Soldiers” was very well received. Partly, of course, because of White Stripes’ high notoriety and cult like following. Now, the band has reached record number two in the…
Surprise, surprise. Jack White and The Raconteurs just went all maverick on us and just announced that they’ll release a new album and that no later then next week ! I mean Jack pulled some pretty wacky stunts in the past, the whole Meg White sister-wife thingy being the first to come to mind, but this just might top all of them. The news came out last night, as the band announced their new record…
Oh man, when a titan such as Bob Dylan makes plans, you know it’s gonna be good; and when this record is going to be based on some unfinished lyrics by country singer Hank Williams, it’s gonna be great. When he also asks Jack White, Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams and other to work with him…you know it’s going to be just fantastic! As the story goes, Dylan asked a series of musicians to write music…
As you most probably know a while ago the White Stripes were forced to cancel 2 months worth of touring, due to drummer’s Meg mysterious severe anxiety illness. Speculations always fallow mysteries and New York Magazine has come up with 10 reasons that would cause her breakdown. Enjoy ! 1. The cleaners keep washing her whites with her blacks and reds. 2. Difficulty of remembering drum part to “Seven Nation Army.” 3. The emotional scarring…
A peculiar conversation went on earlier today, at [tag]The Raconteurs[/tag] MySpace profile, between band members [tag]Jack White[/tag] and Brendan Benson. The conversation revolved mainly on the band’s future LP, but also sidetracked a bit on some hilarious lines about drugs, merchandising and the omni-present fear for L.J. ( ‘Little Jack’ Lawrence – the band’s bassist player). The conclusion, if existing, is that they’ve started writing and recording a lot of songs, that are different anything…
Remember when we told you [tag]Jack White[/tag] was going to act in a new movie soon? Well that movie is none other then Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story a clear spoof of the [tag]Johnny Cash[/tag] biopic Walk The Line, staring John C. Reilley as Dewey Cox, a man on a mission: to become a musical legend. The movie also features Paul Rudd as John Lennon, Jack Black as Paul McCartney and of course Jack…

Some very interesting points were covered, among them marriage, Icky Thump and … jurnalists, whom according to Jack are about as lazy as a pack of slugs. Here’s a snippet from the interview. Remember to read the whole thing here. MD: A lot has already been written about Icky Thump. What have people gotten right and what…
