The Dead Weather Does "From the Basement" Performance

The Dead Weather showed up for producer Nigel Godrich's "From the Basement" series last night, giving us another taste of a track off the forthcoming Horehound.

As we wait for the London sessions to show up on his website, here's the band doing "60 Feet Tall" from Nashville earlier this year.

Iggy Pop Joins The BPA On Letterman

I didn't expect to turn on David Letterman last night and find Iggy Pop with Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) on with Cook's BPA project.

It was a pleasant surprise. Good energy from Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra and Pop himself.
