“Another Way to Die” Music Video Revealed!
The Jack White and Alicia Keys duet is finally revealed in its full form (no thanks to Coca-Cola). The visuals are a little bit “7 Nation Army” + iPod commerical + Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” + Semiconductor’s “Magnetic Movie”–but the one inescapable image that will forever sear your brain when watching this video is the sight of Jack White PLAYING THE DRUMS.
My heart nearly stopped.

‘Another Way to Die’: This Bond Music Video
I hadn’t even considered people might want to listen to Jack White and Alicia Keys’ new Bond theme as a recreational activity outside of the film, but presumably that’s the pitch with this music video for their song, Another Way to Die. Surprisingly, I didn’t mind it this time, or at least not until it went on for an additional two minutes after I wanted it to stop. But I do like how Jack White is getting one of those weird mom hairstyles that aging former-hair band members always ge
Jack White Alicia Keys ‘Another Way to Die’ Video
Check out the new Jack White and Alicia Keys music video for the song, Another Way to Die. It’s the theme song for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace starring Daniel Craig.
Not the best bond theme ever, but it’s not bad. The movie looks great.

Watch It Now: Quantum Of Solace Theme Song Video
The news on the latest James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace”, just doesn’t slow down. In the last two weeks we’ve seen a new trailer, poster, and even heard the new 007 theme song by Jack White and Alicia Keys.
Yesterday we even got the silly news that it was Daniel Craig himself who selected the “Solace” title. Today we get the music video for said theme song, so check it out below. The song is pretty good, but does anyone else think White looks like Amy Poehler dr
Jack White Seen Consorting With Old Man in Church
Jack White’s career apprenticing himself to roots music and its giants might climax with this reworking of “Old Enough,” off the most recent Raconteurs album Consolers of the Lonely. He’s more reverent than ever, convening his band, country singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe, and the golden apostle of bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs, in a church for a warm, countrified version of the song (which is now available on Amazon). With Monroe sweetening the vocals and Skagg’s mandolin replacing
Jack White and Alicia Keys: Another Way to Die
A few weeks ago we brought you the Coke commercial featuring Jack White’s theme song for the new Bond film. It was a nice little taster, but kind of hard to get the feel of it, what with all of Coke’s graphics and it only being 30 seconds long. Here is a much nicer taste of Mr. White’s work, which some of you may have seen earlier this week on Monday Night Football. This one also gives us a nice glimpse of Alicia Keys’ fine ass doin’ work.

"Fly Farm Blues" (MP3)
If you watched last night's posted clip of Jack White writing and performing a song in ten minutes , but were left wondering what the actual song sounded like, then here's the other half of the story. "Fly Farm Blues," which White wrote on film for Davis Guggenheim's upcoming guitar documentary It Might Get Loud , is nothing groundbreaking, especially for the White Stripes frontman. But it is pretty good, considering the restrictions. It consists of a sturdy, standard blues lick accompanied by...
Alicia Keys and Jack White’s Quantum of Solace Bond Theme Music Video
The theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace has been streaming online for a while now, so there’s a good chance you may have already heard it… but have you seen the music video? The song is a collaboration between Alicia Keys and Jack White and I kinda dig it. I agree that it’s a bit more stripped down than your typical Bond theme, but what do you expect with Jack White involved? At least it’s better than that Chris Cornell crap! (Okay I actually liked that one

Though the film...
