( 5 stories between 16th September 2008 and 14th June 2010 )White Records Legally Prohibited Live
Jun, 14 2010
Most artists spend many months writing and recording songs, then many more promoting them with interviews and appearances, then many more on never-ending worldwide tours; not Jack White. Within the last five weeks he has released a second Dead Weather album, Sea of Cowards, and produced the debut album of his wife Karen Elson, The Ghost Who Walks. Now he's moving on: to in-limbo comedy king Conan O'Brien.
Last week O'Brien performed his nationally touring Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television show in front of just 300 people at White's Third Man Studios in Nashville, and now Third Man Records plans to release it as a live album on vinyl only. The record will feature an instrumental version of the White Stripes' best-known song "Seven Nation Army" and a performance of Eddie Cochran's "20 Flight Rock" featuring White on drums.
O'Brien has also recorded a spoken-word piece which Third Man will release as a limited edition vinyl single "in the near future." The as-yet-untitled live album is available to pre-order now from Third Man's official website.
The SoundUnwound News Randomizer of 2009
Dec, 28 2009
Last year, the SoundUnwound News Randomizer brought you a whistle stop tour of music stories of 2008, but what’s been happening this year? Well, Phil Spector ended up in jail, but we know he didn’t tweet from there; Kanye left Taylor speechless on the stage, Katy Perry kissed a boy, and liked it far better; Rihanna and Chris didn’t make it to the Grammys; everybody claimed to have recorded “Viva La Vida” before Coldplay, Lil Wayne didn’t become a rock god; rock god Chris Cornell tried to morph into an R&B smoothie; Adam Lambert put on a performance that was a little too hot for his audience and a couple of artists sang songs on Band Hero that they wouldn’t dream of singing in real life. And of course, there are the omnipresent stories: throughout the year bands reunited, divided and formed supergroups, myriad albums were released and sold (but the record industry fatcats still fretted), and month by month, Jack White probably created several new bands, released a bunch of new records and collaborated with anybody he could find. Here’s to another great news year in 2010!
Jack White
Oct, 20 2009
Despite Jack White’s hectic musical schedule, he found time on Sunday to philosophize about modern pop culture during a forty minute Q&A session with students at Dublin’s Trinity College. His attendance at the college was to accept a prestigious Trinity College Philosophical Society Honorary Patronage, the latest in a long line of awards to grace his overburdened shelf of honors. Between making comparisons about the perceived authenticity of Britney Spears, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, he let slip details of his days as a struggling musician and the lost records of The Upholsterers, the band he played in before he found fame with the White Stripes. Apparently, he hid a hundred copies of an unreleased EP in a hundred pieces of furniture which he was upholstering in his day job, which could lead to a frantic search down the side of many old sofas in the Detroit area. But with new albums in the pipeline with both the Dead Weather and the White Stripes, Jack is too busy looking to the future to help with the search for this part of his past.
