Raconteurs “Steady, As She Goes” Dir. Jim Jarmusch Have pity on poor Meg White. It looks like her ex-husband, and now ex-bandmate, Jack White has ditched their blues revivalist outfit The White Stripes to form the garage rock quartet The Raconteurs with some of his buddies. The Raconteurs’ first single, “Steady, As She Goes,” is a bluesy romp with an infectious bass line, boozy guitar heroics, and—sorry Meg—crackling percussion. Jack White’s wailing vocals soar above...
...This doesn’t even include the long list of names I could have been called if you follow the listings of alternate forms for Margaret in any baby book. Feel free to call me Gretel, Greta, Gretchen, Rita, Margie, Margery, Madge, Peg, Peggy, Pog, Maisie, Meg, Mog, and Daisy.

Their sexual chemistry is inexplicable, especially in comparison to Darrow and Kong’s bond, which is as romantic as anything in a Meg Ryan flick. Kong turns his back on Darrow after saving her from a flock of dinosaurs, which inspres her to run after him is a stripped down and true account of the animalistic nature of desire...
...video for the White Stripes’ “The Denial Twist,” Conan O’Brian ’85 laments: “My head’s getting bigger…squarer…more like a cube,” as Meg White comforts him. This makes about as much sense as anything else that occurs in the video. Fans of rock’s favorite pseudo-siblings may recall that the White Stripes played Late Night with Conan O’Brian for a week straight in 2003. The video plays...
