  And Alison Mosshart of The Kills is the singer. There was a rumor going around town that The White Stripes were playing a secret show tonight, but the show in question was to grandly open the new office/performance space dedicated to Jack White's label, Third Man Records. The Dead Weather made their debut performance and handed out 7-inch singles in sleeves hand-painted by the band. You can check out the two songs from said single, "Hang You From the Heavens" and "Are Friends Electric?" (Gary N

  Yeah, sure, Jack White is a busy, busy dude. He's got three bands, give or take, and he's got his own record label now, for which he's producing (and playing drums on) four or five records. But wait, there's more: In an interview with The Dead Weather on Self-Titled, White also indicates that The White Stripes are making a movie: Then also, Third Man Films. The White Stripes are releasing a film this year, and when I go back home in a few days, I'm going to mix all the music for that, which i

OK, that's fine.Rockabilly road warrior Dex Romweber--you might know him from The Flat Duo Jets...then again, you might not--has just announced that he'll be releasing a 7-inch in late May on Jack White's Third Man Records. The split was engineered by Vance Powell, and White himself contributed bass, vocals, saw and acoustic and lead guitars on the two tracks.

  * The other night I had this funny dream, where I was walking outside the Green Hills mall and ran into Taylor Swift. In this dream, we were pals. Not call-each-other-late-at-night-and-gossip pals or anything. She was like, "Hey, nice to see you!" And I was all, "Yo, what's shakin', Tay?" And we kind of small talked for a bit. She was wearing big clunky glasses--the kind they put on "hot" girls in movies to make them look "nerdy" so then we are "surprised" when they take them off and become conv

  Jack White announced recently that his Nashville-based Third Man Records is starting a subscription service thingy that J.W. is calling The Vault. What's in it for you? Well, if you click on the FAQ, there's a bunch of ALL CAPS, which I've run through the Lowercase Kanye machine for readability purposes. Here's the deal: Pay $7 a month (for at least three months) and you'll get to watch videos, access forums and photos, find out about ticket pre-sales, read artist blogs, and see "pay-per-view li

• Lakota Brick: Yet Another Jack White Side Project?

  David is the new Meg.So it looks like over-tapped local resource Jack White has joined forces with NBA commish David Stern for yet another supergroup side project. Nah, not really. But, as is The Onion's custom, this one hovers in that gray area between fantasy and reality that is just absurd enough to be true. Take it away, Onion: According to the 33-year-old White, the band consists of himself, primarily on reed organ, and Stern, 66, on vocals and electric guitar. "The Raconteurs allowed me t

As we stood on the floor of War Memorial Auditorium waiting for The Dead Weather show to begin, our companion--looking at a group of fans fondling their new DW merch--said, "I bet Jack White could sell his poo and people would buy it." Maybe they would, we thought. Maybe. But not before shouting, "Wooooo!!!" This was a night of much wooing. Every time the house music reached the end of a song, the audience would cheer. Every time

• Jack White Goes Solo (Sort of), Plus Transit Songs About Buses!

  ​As reported on Pithchfork, charismatic frontperson Jack White will be releasing a solo single on Aug. 11 via his own Third Man label. What does this mean for his other projects? Probably nothing. The song, "Fly Farm Blues," was written, uh, on the fly during the making of the Davis Guggenheim-directed guitar doc It Might Get Loud, which features White alongside Jimmy Page and The Edge. But talk about burying the lede: Third Man is also releasing a single by Transit--a band made up of Met

  D.

He was inspired by all the greats, Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Leadbelly, Son House and now Jack White, as it was reported yesterday on RollingStone.com that Richards has just recorded songs with the Midas-touchy White Stripes guitarist. Richards told Rolling Stone, "I enjoy working with

  The fucking musical event of 2009! In early 2006, a whip-smart blues musician from D-troit packed his bags, threw caution to the wind and headed Nashville-way with dreams of becoming a big ole country star in his heart. The landscape of Music City was forever changed. Today, that lofty flight of fancy has blossomed into an undeniable reality as Jack White and his wily Raconteurs have just garnered their first Country Music Association Award nomination.

  When I saw the Pitchfork headline "Watch the Bizarre New Dead Weather Video," I was kind of excited. That didn't last long. (Nothing against the video, which Mr. Jack White directed and is pretty neato overall.) I guess I was just hoping for something a little more, I dunno, bizarre. Something less hammy and eyebrow-y and Chaplin-discovers-taxidermy. Sure, the thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense, in any kind of linear, the-visuals-reinforce-the-theme-of-the-song-as-I-lip-sync-the-lyrics ki

  If you were among those that got a jump start last night on this week's festivities, you may or may not have noticed your fellow attendees were vibrating at a very high frequency in anticipation of getting knee-deep in Nashville's biggest annual pep rally yet. Folks were indeed in good spirits. Backs were slapped, egos were stroked and I recall reciprocating more than a few high-fives.

• Jack White Speaks on Authenticity, Launches Nationwide Scavenger Hunt

  ​One of the things that fascinates me about Jack White is that he gets attention for simply being, in today's contrived, calculated music industry, relatively original with regard to his business strategies, aesthetics and reverence for the old way of doing things. Recently White accepted an "honorary patronage" from the University Philosophical Society at Dublin, and he spoke on the subject of authenticity. According to Pitchfork: But instead of espousing the same old notions of classic rock

"We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I played him something that I've been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it. It's unbelievable-sounding." As you'll recall, Mr. Beyonce dropped White's name late last year while talking about his n
