    Jack White's Solo Debut, Blunderbuss: A First Listen

    For some reason, like the Craig Finn solo album, I'm kind of dreading this. Jack White's one of my generation's greatest, which is partly the reason I'm always worried about when he'll Clapton out. Without his cro Meg-non secret weapon on drums (well, drum, singular -- as in one at a time), he came ... More >>

    Jack White's Third Man Records Throws 1,000 Perfectly Decent Records Away Via Balloon

    In what was most assuredly not an April Fool's joke, stunt, or prank, the folks at Jack White's Third Man Records yesterday attached 1,000 records to 1,000 large blue helium balloons and sent them off into the sky to be lost forever (except to a fanatic bunch of fools who will pay insane amounts of ...

    Springsteen Says Rockers Are Thieves: Five Songs You May Not Know Were Stolen

    ​Last Thursday, Bruce Springsteen made the keynote speech at South By Southwest. He was funny, he was heartfelt, he was informative and -- dang, Boss! -- he was ridiculously honest.

    The Black Keys' El Camino: A First Listen

    No matter what you've read, the Black Keys are as generic as Kings of Leon. The super-successful Brothers was a good record, but didn't escape its own sameyness by the time you're waiting for it to be over. And their success only speaks to the market's sore vain need for a famous rock band right no ... More >>

    Why Did Jack White Collaborate With the Misogynistic Insane Clown Posse?

    ​Jack White is a man we like. We like the White Stripes, we like the Dead Weather -- hell, we even like bits and pieces of what The Raconteurs have done (yes, they're boring occasionally, but they really come alive from time to time). He's a maverick, a man with ambition, a ma ... More >>
