Daily Jam - Hotel Yorba

This song is almost 20 years old.  Yeesh.  Here's "Hotel Yorba" by The White Stripes, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - I Just Started Hating Some People Today

A few years ago, Beck released a single for the "Blue Series" on Jack White's Third Man Records.  The song was a wonderful mix of old country, bar blues, and then some punk and all out weirdness to end it all.  It was the best thing he'd done in years and i pine for a whole album of this kind of thing someday.  I mean, his pop party and sad bastard records are great and everything, but this mutant country and western hybrid thing is where my heart's at.  Anyway, Beck's "I Just Started Hating Some People Today" is our Daily Jam.  Check it out and love it below.

Jack White - Connected by Love

Jack White has always been kind of hit or miss with me.  I really dig on a couple of the older White Stripes albums, and the man is a vinyl enthusiast's vinyl enthusiast, and even if he's not your bag, you have to admit he's got talent flowing from every pore, but sometimes his brand of blues indebted rock just doesn't do it for me.  Sometimes it sounds redundant to me.  That being said, new single "Connected by Love," from the upcoming "Boarding House Reach" LP sounds like nothing he's ever done before while totally still sounding like something in his regular repertoire.  And it's kind of weird.  And i dig it.  Synths and organs and blues and gospel and guitar stomp and piano balladry all in one big pot.  Check out the video below.  And check out the album art above.  There's some serious Marc Almond shit going on in that thing.  It's cool.  The record is out March 23rd on Third Man.

Jack White - High Ball Stepper

Jack White has a new album called "Lazaretto" coming out in June on Third Man.  The first taste is "High Ball Stepper," a very Jack White sounding instrumental.  Watch the video below.

Gibby Haynes

Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers fame is the next in a long line of awesome artists to record a 7" for Jack White and Third Man Records' blue series.  His outing features White on guitar and a cover of Adrenalin O.D.'s "Paul's Not Home."  Look for it next week and listen below.

Bonus:  If you're in Austin for SXSW and stumble upon the Third Man Records rolling record store, they will be selling a limited variant of the 7" pressed on old X-rays.  Right on.
