Jack White: "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...

EXCL: David Guggenheim's New Doc Might Get Loud
If you're a fan of rock and roll and movies about how legendary rock bands came together as well as how they went about creating their music (and in some cases, why they fell apart), then you'll probably be interested in It Might Get Loud , the new doc from Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth .

It Might Get Loud: Film Review
t Might Get Loud is a documentary mostly comprised of the Edge, Jimmy Page, and Jack White sitting around with their guitars talking shop. Director Davis Guggenheim eschews the grandstanding of rock n' roll hero worship by attempting to be specific about the artist and his or her craft, but it's difficult to translate an artist's internal process to concrete images on screen. By having the Edge, Page, and White share nostalgia about their past, interests in musical forms, and ways in which the...

The Dead Weather
What do you get when you take the best parts of the White Stripes, the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and The Raconteurs, throw in some spontaneity and add two weeks in a studio? Pure awesome, that’s what. I might even venture to say the awesome is concentrated enough to surpass the awesomeness of the works of all those other bands. Jack White’s fingerprints are all over the Dead Weather , and he only sings on one or two songs. The rest of the time is spent behind the drums, making...

Davis Guggenheim filmed Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White geeking out about the electric guitar. By Steve Appleford June 18, 2009 Davis Guggenheim calls himself a "Behind the Music" junkie, watching every episode of the VH1 show chronicling famous rock stars' rise and fall and rise again amid triumph and self-destruction.

Weird Al Yankovic: "CNR" (Video)
Weird Al has decided that the time is ripe for a White Stripes parody in the form of "CNR," his ode to Charles Nelson Reilly that plays like a less-than-funny attempt to make Chuck Norris jokes about Charles Nelson Reilly. That said, Al replicates the White Stripes' sound pretty well. Not that it's all that difficult. The video is embed-disabled, so to watch it, go here .    "CNR" is a part of Al's "Internet Leaks" program where he releases songs directly to iTunes, and is available...
