The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother

Ray Pride links to the above video, directed by Jonathan Glazer (director of Birth, Sexy Beast, and countless iconic music videos) for the first single off the new record by The Dead Weather, a supergroup of sorts featuring Jack White of The White Stripes and Alison Mosshart of The Kills. On the first couple of listens, I felt the record was a bit too steeped in the more annoying tendencencies of both of those bands, but this video might turn me around, because it is awesome.

In semi-related news, The Kills version of “Willow Weep For Me” from Only the Lonely is featured on a new iTunes-only compilation featuring contemporary covers of Frank Sinatra songs.
