The Raconteurs

Songbird,  the open-source customizable music player powered by Mozilla and built by "The Pioneers of the Inevitable" and users like you has hatched. I've been playing with the pre-release versions of Songbird for awhile now and after getting used to it I'm really liking it more and more. Not a replacement for itunes, yet, but wonderful for grabbing songs off the web and getting lots of instant info., :) Get it Songbird 1.0 and digg it

Grizzly Bear fa la la la la-ed, Your Vegas wore too much clothing (long sleeve shirts and jeans) for the 85 degree and humid Chicago weather, Duffy sounded just like she does on her album, Ohio-based duo the Black Keys’ music was so powerful that I was convinced there was three or more people on stage, but the first day of Lollapalooza 2008 really belonged to Radiohead and The Raconteurs.

For the first time ever since becoming a stable festival in the Windy City back in... MORE

(Click and read the Day 1 wrap up: photos of Hot Chip, Goldfrapp and more.) Back to the island! It started off windy and stayed that way. Some performers struggled with the wind - Fleet Foxes asked, "Can you turn the wind down? Less wind, thanks." The wind and cold affected the atmosphere of the crowd. They seemed underdressed and cold, inhibiting their enthusiasm. But Okkervil River hit the stage and Will Sheff amped the crowd up. With his acoustic guitar sliding aro... MORE

right? because, basically what can i say really about them? jack white is a literal guitar hero, brendon benson possesses the cabability to hold his own against him, and hell, the rest of the band kick ass too? so wednesday after my college class let out i found myself on the way to the ATL with pam to see openers the kills and the raconteurs on the last stop on their tour. we only got there two and a half hours before doors opened but were still one of the first 10 in t...

I'm too dazed to write an eloquent and proper review so I'll just give you my thoughts about last night as they come to me:

-The Raconteurs...one word: ridiculous. No one should ever be allowed to be that good! This show just made the best shows I've ever been to seem completely subpar. Everything was intense and tight and awe-inspiring and just absolutely amazing! I think I'm going to be gushing about this one for a long time...

-FRONT ROW CENTER!!! And it was only a three-... MORE

Just when things started to get quiet on the Raconteurs front, the boys put on their favorite top hats, took to the woods with mirrors and director Autumn De Wilde to shoot the video for the Consolers of the Lonely track "Old Enough." Wilde's "Old Enough" shoot captures a honky-tonk good time between Jack White and co, and even recalls some horror movie memories, like the Blair Witch Project. Just a little? Maybe? No? Ok. The Raconteurs "Old Enough"

Last year after the inaugural Treasure Island Music Festival, MOG was lit up with posts about the event, posts that made me wish I was there. (Wow!) The fest returns Saturday, September 20th and Sunday, September 21st for its second year at the same locale, the little island between the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Along with headliners the Raconteurs and Justice, confirmed for the "boutique" festival, referred to as "Micro-chella" by the SF Chronicle, are TV On the R... MORE

Lots of music. Lots of movies. Lots of artwork this fall break. Playlist: The Raconteurs' Consolers of the Lonely (Makes me want to have a duel in the desert!) Brendan Benson's Lapalco and The Alternative to Love ("I'm Brendan, what's your name?" So cute...) Okkervil River's The Stand Ins (Because how can you not love this album?!) Lykke Li's Youth Novels (Go watch her video with Bon Iver on youtube right now. Seriously. And it's "lucky lee" and "bohn eevair". But I b... MORE

The Raconteurs definitely give you a bang for your buck when it comes to their live show. And for anyone who missed Jack White and co. the first time they came west coast you've got luck on your side because the Raconteurs are coming back around. This time with an added bonus: openers the Kills. The Raconteurs kick off their extended fall tour on September 19th at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon. The Mars Volta will also continue to surf through U.S. cities, but... MORE

So…the second day started with Jose Gonzalez at This Tent and he, like Newton Faulkner the day before, really set the day in a good folksy mood. I especially dug the bongo beats that were added later in the set. His voice wasn't as good as Faulkners' but he compensated with some awesome grooves and folky melodies that became trance-like after a while. Coincidentally the song highlight for me, like Faulkner the day before was the cover of Teardrops by Massive Attack. Again,... MORE

The Raconteurs' Consolers of the Lonely (country twang slipping in and out of Who-esque rock tracks) has been spinning nonstop on my iTunes. Today news that the band have extended their spring/summer tour, which is kicking off on 4/20 in Vancouver. The US tour culminates with a performance at Bonnaroo on June 13th, after which the band heads to Europe for the remainder of the summer. The Raconteurs will be supported by the Black Lips, The Fiery Furnaces and Birds Of ... MORE
