Music Happenings
An exciting bit of news from the music world...

Jack White from The White Stripes has joined forces with Brendan Benson of...Brendan Benson, and Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler of The Green Horns to form the indie-rock version of a super band. They are The Raconteurs, and currently have a single out on iTunes, "Steady, As She Goes." Their album, Broken Boy Soldiers, will be out in May. I can't speak for the album, but I've become somewhat addicted to the single and found a few tracks from in-studio sessions they did for British radio, and I'm psyched to see what the album will be like. The good news is that, while this seems to be a serious project (read: more than one Raconteurs album before all is said and done...yay) the musicians will continue to work on their own careers. So not only is there more Raconteurs past May, but there's more White Stripes and Benson ahead.
