Jack White by Craig McDean the Interview Magazine (May 2012)
Jack could easily pass as The Joker. Like, totally.
Beck (feat. Jack White) - I Just Started Hating Some People Today
Since the White Stripes’ Beck-produced Conquest EP, Beck’s Go It Alone, and a few live appearances together, Beck and Jack White have once again worked together, and unleashed a brand new single. The A-Side starts out with mellow sounding country with some hilariously crazy lyrics, then bursts into an agressive punk discharge (vocals by Mr. White), and finally changes into female vocals-lead funk. It’s pretty much as far out as Beck’s career, so what’s not to like?
“Both tracks were recorded in 2011 while Beck was in Nashville working on new material for his long awaited next album. The songs spontaneously came together at [Jack White’s] studio on Beck’s final day in town.”
You can now buy the new Beck release called “I Just Started Hating Some People Today”, with “Blue Randy” as B-Side, here: http://thirdmanrecords.com/

Aww shit, son. Beck and Jack White are at it again, since the White Stripes’ Beck-produced Conquest EP, Beck’s Go It Alone with Jack on bass, and a few live appearances together.

The Move — Feel Too Good
The Move’s awesome anthem of feeling too good. In fame, sex, and money, as John Updike once said, “only too much is enough.” A very fitting theme for the also amazing Boogie Nights, in which this song is prominently featured.
The Move’s songs also usually have really cool outros. Or downright surreal ones, like here. It’s a shame that, although popular in Britain, they never found any success in the States.
Beastie Boys — Shadrach (1989)
Directed by Adam Yauch as Nathanial Hörnblowér, the music video for the incredibly groovy Beastie Boys track “Shadrach” from their Paul’s Boutique album, was named one of Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Videos of All Time, and particularly acclaimed for its style and artistic beauty, as each frame was painted by hand.
