Heartland

I caught The Dead Weather on Jools Holland earlier in the week.

I'm no fan of Jack White - the opposite really, The White Stripes make me wretch. But I was impressed with these lot. It's got the girl from The Kills and a dude from QOTSA. Fairly off the wall stuff.

Any opinions?

They were good but not as good as The Raconteurs

I can't be doing with Jools Holland. It's always some world music w@nk that only ever gets listened to by hippies, or else jazz w@nk that sounds like none of the people are playing the same tune.

And OI! HOLLAND! LEAVE THAT PIANO ALONE!!!!

I agree on the Holland front. The guy loves himself and he's a twot.
But I still watch it - last week had Magazine doing Shot from both sides and The Light pours out of me. And Wolfmother.

There's very little choice when it comes to live music shows on the box, innit?

Aye true, but I can't be arsed sitting through acres of sh!te for the occasional band I might be interested in.

Iplayer solves that problem.

Glad this was brought up - did they support The Cult at Leeds?

Love 'em!
The album has been getting pretty heavy rotation in my household.

Unfortunately, I've not been able to catch them live.

I've actually got a fair bit of time for Mr White, mainly 'cause the guy is willing to try new things and puts out material (on vinyl) on a regular basis.

Come on, wouldn't you be a little bit smug is you had his job?
Another pay check for having his mates round for a jam.

I really like the diversity.
I wouldn't rush out to buy any of the world music but I can appreciate the skill behind it, though I have to admit that the jazz wankery does grate.

Are you sure? Same looking long-haired singer, same-looking bassist, same wierd set-up the guitarist uses?

I guess I could always look them up on the Internet, but seeing as I'm at work The Man may not like it too much

Wank with Jools Holland would be a more appropriate title, he's the luckiest baisturt on BBC someone wants to twist his arm

I can't find any record of them supporting The Cult anywhere, so Weebs is right I guess.

I caught a glimpse of Dead Weather on a broadcast of the last Glastonbury festival, and totally loved them form just hearing 'Treat Me Like Your Mother'.

I eagerly anticipated their album and was not dissapointed at all and have on occassion, played it at various gigs I've DJed at - even goth ones!

Yep, Treat Me Like Your Mother gets my vote, for the vocals and moog synth line, caught them by accident on Glastonbury '09 (TV, unfortunately).

Maybe I'm the only one who saw them support The Cult at Leeds. Weebles/Derek - did you spike my lager?

"Let’s get the support band over first – Aqua Nebula Oscillator- easily the worst band I’ve seen in 28 years of gigging. Just a wall of noise, if they were performing in my front garden I wouldn’t open my curtains to watch. "
