Jack White Will Not Be Having A Smile With His Coke
Mon Sep 15 2008 by Maura
As a rebuttal of sorts to Friday’s item about a Jack White composition being used in an ad for the slightly-better-than-diet-Coke calorie-free soda Coke Zero, the Idolator tips inbox received this statement from his people over the weekend: “Jack White was commissioned by Sony Pictures to write a… More »
Jack White Loses Quantum Of Dignity
Fri Sep 12 2008 by Kate Richardson
If there’s one thing we know about Jack White–besides his penchant for ugly facial hair–it’s that he loves money. Lucky for him the Coca-Cola corporation has plenty where that came from, and a massive cross-promotion deal with the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. White composed the music for a new Coke Zero/Quantum commercial, proving his corporate cred once and for all to the notoriously insular and judgmental Madison Avenue scene, which has long accused him of selling in.
Amy Winehouse Will Have Her Revenge On Bond
Tue Aug 12 2008 by Maura
Tabloid fixture and sometime singer Amy Winehouse has told a UK gossip columnist that even though her stab at a theme to the new James Bond movie, Quantum Of Solace, was rejected in favor of a collaboration between Jack White and Alicia Keys, she’s going to get it together enough to record the song anyway. Really!
Jack White Falls Into The World Of James Bond Themes
Tue Jul 29 2008 by Maura
File under things that are either going to be pretty OK or trainwrecky on a Converse sneaker-ad level: Jack White and Alicia Keys are going to collaborate on the theme song for the new James Bond movie, Quantum Of Solace, the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. More »
Jack White Writes A Love Poem To The Detroit Of His Mind
Mon Jul 7 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
Jack White may have been a little down on his hometown in interviews lately, but don’t think he doesn’t have love for the Motor City. The Raconteur may have said that Detroit’s “super-negative” music scene was part of what drove him to move to Nashville in 2006, but “those expressions of mine have never been a representation of my feelings about Detroit the city, a town that I have strong feelings about … nor were they expressions about its citizens.” To prove his devotion to the city that gave us Ted Nugent, General Motors, and some of the most successful white rappers in American history, he has crafted a poem. A series of stanzas that includes references to “malt from Stroh’s and Sanders,” “frescoed families strife fractured,” and “The water letter carrier, bringing prose to lonely sailors.” Surely the fear of another lyrical waxing of this kind will keep locals from ever daring to question his spiritual solidarity again.

Once again, we present Rock-Critically Correct, a feature in which the most recent issues of Rolling Stone, Blender, Vibe, and Spin are given a once-over by an anonymous writer who’s contributed to several of those titles–or maybe even all of them! After the click-through, a look at the new issue of Rolling Stone:
The Raconteurs’ Plans For A Sneak Attack Were Foiled By Retail
Tue Mar 25 2008 by Maura
Poor Jack White. He wanted the latest album by the Raconteurs, Consolers Of The Lonely, to hit stores around the world today with no advance warning (and, presumably, no advance availablity), but his plans were foiled by the archaic structures of the world’s traditional music-retail outlets, which… More »
