]]> The Dead Weather “Hang You From the Heavens” b/w “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” 2009. Third Man Records. The debut single from the indie supergroup, the first 150 copies (which I’m pretty sure this is not one of) given out to the audience at the band’s first performance in 2009 at the Third Man offices, reached #8 on the US singles chart. The B-side is a cover of Gary Numan’s band the Tubeway Army’s “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” so it has a very weird, very cool blend of sleekly ominous new wave synth with dirty, dark garage rock. “Are ‘Friends’ Electric” was the first song that Jack White (White Stripes), Alison Mosshart (the Kills), Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (the Raconteurs) recorded together; the formation of The Dead Weather came soon after, with their debut LP Horehound, upon which “Hang You From the Heavens” is featured, dropping the summer of ‘09.

]]> The Kills “Keep On Your Mean Side” 2003. US release on Rough Trade Records. Keep on Your Mean Side is the debut full-length release from duo Alison Mosshart (also vocals for Discount and the Jack White collaborative effort The Dead Weather) and Jamie Hince (also songwriter/guitarist for Scarfo and notably married to ubermodel Kate Moss until last year). Bluesy, sparse with more than a hint of darkness, Keep on Your Mean Side has a sneering DIY punk flavor fronted with Mosshart’s stellar vocals and Hince’s droning yet undeniably catchy guitar. My favorite tracks are the hard-driving chugga-chugga blues of  “Pull A U,” “Fried My Little Brains” and “Hitched.” “Black Rooster,” which also appeared on their 2002 EP Black Rooster, feels like a blend of Velvet Underground and classic southern blues for a track that has a hypnotic effect like watching a locomotive tear through the countryside.

]]> The Dead Weather “I Cut Like a Buffalo” 2009. Third Man Records, limited 500 pressing. This 12″ single was the sixth release (TMR 006) on Jack White’s Third Man Records after the label moved from its ephemeral location in Detroit to a tangible location in Nashville in 2009. It’s single-sided, the B-side blank save for the etching of the Third Man logo.

“I Cut Like a Buffalo” was the third single from The Dead Weather’s debut album Horehound and though primarily sung by the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Jack White’s vocals are mostly up front for this track (it is also the only song to be written solely by White on the album). The single’s 7″ counterpart does have a traditional B-side, the riff-heavy raucous track “A Child of a Few Hours Burning to Death.”
