Caught some MTV over the weekend, including the video for The Raconteurs new single, Steady as she goes. Who be they, I hear the questions. Lumme, where’ve you been - they’re only a cross between Brendon Benson and that bloke out of The White Stripes, Jack Stripe. I think. Not so much a cross, as an actual being of them, in fact. Plus two other blokes I don’t recognise from the publicity stills. So it’s pretty damned exciting, I can tell you. Except for the two other guys.
Good news is that the single’s great, and the b-side isn’t shoddy either. Promising start. You can listen to both right now on the official tinternet site, which is cooler than something pretending to be a terminal ought to be.
Go! To the official Raconteurs site. Now.

That is a seriously cool website for a seriously cool band.
How does Jack White write stuff that sounds instantly like it’s been a classic for years and years? Blue Orchid was the same… and Hotel Yorba… and Seven Nation Army…
Jack’s reasonably talented. Mr Benson’s the real genius here though
You should get yourself to the O2 wireless fest in hyde park on the Wednesday (21 June) if you want to see them live.
