I absolutely adore this song and video. Did I mention it was directed by Sam Beam?

Jack loves Slash.

MTV recently talked to Jack White about his upcoming projects. "I've got like five things on my plate right now, it's a big plate," says White.

White has recently recorded sessions with '50s rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson, and evidently they're "wild." If you remember, White also collaborated with country legend Loretta Lynn for her album, Van Lear Rose, back in 2004. Talks are evidently also in the works for both a new Dead Weather album and a new White Stripes album. (AHHH!)

"It's gonna take as long as it takes ... if it takes three months to do a Dead Weather record, we'll take that long," White said. "The White Stripes record is going to be these two guys [Dead Weather bassist Jack Lawrence and guitarist/ keyboardist Dean Fertita] dressed as me and Meg, so we'll see if something interesting comes out of that." Oh, Jack, you're so funny.

There were also rumors of Slash asking White to contribute on his solo album, which White reportedly turned down. However, Jack doesn't "remember that request." Check out his response in the video below.

Jack, I love you, but the hair's looking a little bedraggled.

Go Ahead, Explore Your Inner Hippie

Oooookay, so I've been pushing this band on everyone around the office lately and decided to make you folks more aware. The band is called Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. They're headed by frontman Alex Ebert (formerly from Ima Robot) and they have this funky gypsy folk sound. They're debut album, Up From Below, dropped this past July and has been getting more and more recognition for its single "Home". I highly recommend you all take a listen. Good vibes comin 'atchya.
Here's an unofficial video for "Home"

And my personal fav "Janglin"

OMG Beyonce

Ahhhhhhhhh, what has Beyonce done?
I saw this video and my jaw dropped. I thought she was supposed to be like somewhat of a role model for young girls, I think Beyonce just took so many steps backward with her wardrobe in this video. Its not cutting edge, definitely not classy, and she just looks like a down-right whore. This is like the type of repetitive song you do to get radio play and recognition, not to mention the video reminds me of some young singer who is trying to use her body to make up for lack of talent. Beyonce doesn't need to do this anymore!! She is so talented and beautiful, its sad to see her revert to this type of stereotypical chair dancing pop video shit.

What do you think?

SPIN recently released it's list of 20 albums that "matter most" this Fall. Any albums you think are missing or are wrongly placed on the list? Take a look and see what you think:
1.Muse: The Resistance
2.Kid Cudi Man on the Moon: The End Of Day
3.Pearl Jam: Backspacer
4.Mika: The Boy Who Knew Too Much
5.Monters of Folk: Monsters Of Folk
6.Paramore : Brand New Eyes
7. Ghotsface Killah: Ghostdini
8.AFI: Crash Love
9. Wolfmother: Cosmic Egg
10.Floernce and the Machine: Lungs
11.Flaming Lips: Embryonic
12.Julian Casablancas: Phrazes for the Young
13.Weezer: Raditude
14.Creed: Full Circle
15. Tegan and Sara: Sainthood
16.Devendra Banhart: What Will We Be
17.WALE: Attention Defecit
18.Clipse: Till the Casket Drops
19.Them Crooked Vultures: Never Deserved the Future
20.50 Cent: Before I Self-Destruct

There are few on the list I totally agree with, a couple I've never heard of (which I will have to change), and a few albums that I'm sure I'd even give the time of day to see if they deserved the title of mattering most.
