Now if you're unfamiliar with Third Man Records they have something called the vault in which you get all kinds of goodies. Access to pre-sales, exclusive content from Third Man Artists, Pay Per View Live concerts, the works! Head on over in this direction to join and find out more and sign up over here. I'm pretty certain you will not be disappointed.
With the latest Vault release there was a little bonus in the form of a Raconteurs rehearsal track off of their 2008 albumConsolers of The Lonely. Pure, raw bluesy goodness in a neat little package, enjoy!
As you probably know Conan O'Brian played at Jack White's Third Man records back in July. Then earlier this month the vinyl from the show was released. As well as the Live at Third Man Vinyl, Conan's spoken word And They Called Me Mad? was released which features an O'Brien monologue on side A, and a very entertaining interview with O'Brien conducted by Jack White himself. Head over here to purchase the 2 vinyls, you know you want to. Check out tracks "Creep" and "Seven Nation Army" below as well as the interview between the two guys.
In January we reported that Jack White was going to be up to his eyeballs in the newest project by rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson and that members of the Raconteurs/The Dead Weather were going to help Jackie with the project.
The show is due to air September 25th on syndicated stations across the U.S., according to Cassandra Peterson (via Fangoria), who stars as Elvira in the show.
The show actually sounds pretty cool! According to an interview she did with Mondo Celluloid, Peterson says all the movies that will be on the show have all been digitally remastered so the show will be in HD. She's brought on Gris Grimely, an artist who is known for his dark children's books to do the intro and Jackie White is contributing to the music of the show. Further into the interview she reveals that Jack did a song with The Black Belles (video for "What Can I Do?" above) and that will be the theme song for the show. Regarding the song, Peterson said,
"It’s kinda spooky and cool - you guys are gonna dig it, man. We’re gonna make a vinyl out of it. Day-Glo vinyl!"
Check out the video to Jack White's wifey's, Karen Elson, latest single "The Truth Is In The Dirt" off her amazing album produced by White himself, The Ghost Who Walks. The single is set to drop on September 21 and will feature the B-Side of Elson’s previously unreleased cover of 1966 Donovan single “Season of the Witch.” Elson previously performed the song at her record release party at Third Man Records earlier this year. You can grab that whole performence here.
Here's is the latest single from funny man and former Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien titled "And They Call Me Mad" being released on Jack White's Third Man Records. Conan O’Brien’s contribution to the Third Man Records’“Green Series” comes in the form of a Spoken Word/Instructional record. “And They Call Me Mad?” is Conan’s hilarious improvised take on the Frankenstein legend. The B side of the single includes an interview with Conan conducted by his buddy Jack White.
Conan O'Brien debuted the newest video from buddy Jack White's band The Dead Weather. Check out the music video for the live performance of the intro track "Blue Blood Blues" off their latest release Sea of Cowards.
