I like every side project of Jack White's better than I like the White Stripes themselves. His latest, the Dead Weather, is no exception. Primarily because I'm a huge fan of the Kills (last summer I listened to "U.R.A Fever" about 30 times in a row while stuck in Holland Tunnel traffic) - and this takes their punk-blues sound even down deeper and dirtier.
In honor of the release of their album, the band is doing playlists yesterday and today over at woxy.com. Great music (how sexy is that Captain Beefheart song?), and a couple of humorous nuggets on how they got together:
"We were playing a Raconteurs tour and I was losing my voice...the Kills were warming up and we asked Alison to come out and finish some of my songs because I couldn't sing 'em...so we could, you know, get paid (Alison: so YOU could get paid without working)."
Favorite song so far off the album is "Hang You From the Heavens."
