The Dead Weather on Conan

The Dead Weather's debut album Horehound comes out today, but you can listen to the whole thing for free on iLike. Here's The Dead Weather performing "Hang You from the Heavens" on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.

photo envy - Ben Rayner

Ben Rayner is a fantastic photographer that's shot a lot of my favorite indie artists. You should check out his site to catch his other editorial, personal & fashion photography, but below I've posted a round up of some of my favorite acts who also happened to play at Coachella (ok they're basically all Lykke Li pics ) & the undeniably intriguing Eddie Redmayne (above.)

Coachella - Set Times

The Coachella - Set Times are up & I already have a number of conflicting shows on the Friday, the day I'm most excited for.

Franz Ferdinand and Crystal Castles are playing at the exact the same time, White Lies (my new favorite band) start playing 15 minutes after The Ting Tings (who I missed at Ultra,) while Leonard Cohen's set overlaps with Ghostland Observatory. I guess I'll have to go to All Points West Festival to catch them, The Ting Tings & Crystal Castles, since I'm probably going to stay for all of FF & LC's sets.

Hoping to make it in time to catch Liars, but will am just hoping to make it to the venue for Paolo Nutini.

By Day 3 I'll probably have festival dimentia so I haven't really looked at the set times (or at Saturday's too thouroughly) but the game plan is be there for Lykke Li or bust, since she's THE act I (& probably thousands of others) are most pumped to see. Hopefully I'll be able to catch Friendly Fires too, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be better than they were 3 years ago, but I'm saving myself for a beautiful young woman from Sweden, PB & J and The Kills.

The Dead Weather

The Dead Weather is another band from Rock and Roll God, Jack White, who also writes, produces and plays in one of my favorite bands in the universe, The White Stripes, and another band I like very,very,very much The Raconteurs. The band is under Jack's own Third Man Records Label, and will be releasing their first album in June. What I'm most excited about is that Alison Mosshart, the singer of the unbelievably awesome and cool band The Kills (who put on one of the best performances at Lollaplooza last year) is also in The Dead Weather. Pitchfork has a great article worth checking out and I've posted their 2 singles below. Now please enjoy

Hang you from the Heavens

"Why am I the only sour cherry on your fruit stand?"

Driving into work today I saw this mobile fruit stand and it made me think of The Kills' "Sour Cherry" Enjoy 2 rad versions of the song below.
