Before We Break

Casual warning here, Bears and Bullets will be on hiatus until March 22, so this is the last day you can read anything here and claim relevance.

Anyway some exciting news out of the Jack White front - The White Stripes and Raconteurs frontman has become part of a third, yes, third band; The Dead Weather. This time the members include The Kills lady Alison Mosshart, Raconteurs members Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence, leaving White on, and I kid you not, the drums. You can already get their first single "Hang You From the Heavens" on iTunes. Damn White works quick.

In other mind-bending news, Ed O'Brien has apparently hinted at Radiohead's next album being already worked on. Lets just hope this actually means something.

Now I couldn't let everyone go without giving out a crap-ton of MP3's for everyone to take home from You Aint No Picasso, Fluxblog, My Old Kentucky Blog, and Pop Tarts Suck Toasted for alteast the 50th day in a row.

Crystal Stilts - Love Is a Wave - MP3

Neko Case - This Tornando Loves You - MP3

The Boys Least Likely To - Saddle Up - MP3

Thomas Function - Belly of The Beast - MP3

On more thing before I get out of here. Lex Luther (Jon Hamm) needs a bailout. Now.

Back Again

Sorry about forgetting to post yesterday. Truthfully I didn't actually forget, I just slept a lot. Solid excuse. That doesn't mean, however, that today's post will be long. I'm a little short on material.

But I'll work with what I have.

Aquarium Drunkard has been posting a lot of Tom Waits lately to my delight and today he put up some rarities from Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 film One From the Heart. Here's "You Can't Unring a Bell" (well that's obvious) and "This One's From the Heart" with Crytal Gale.

Neil Young recently posted his (in car?) performance of "Johnny Magic" on Huffington Post and his blog. Not to knock Mr. Young but it just seems like he felt like singing his own song in his down-time. Incidentily, it's good.



Pop Tarts Suck Toasted posted their weekly Tuesday Test Drive yesterday will a slew of new MP3's for fans to listen to (I suggest you take a look there). I recommend Elvis Perkins in Dearland's "Shampoo" single off of their new self-titled album.

And finally, here's Paul Rudd and Jason Segal doing a spot-on cover of Rush's "Limelight" for their new movie I Love You, Man. Word is this is during the film's wedding scene, which makes sense.
