Jack White Records New White Stripes, Dex Romweber Tracks
You know Jack White's mission to join every band in America? Still going strong. The Dead Weatherman is putting his new Third Man Studio to use by producing and playing on a forthcoming 7" from The Dex Romweber Duo. "The Wind Did Move" features Jack on vocals, bass, and saw, and its B-Side is a cover of Geeshie Wiley's "Last Kind Word Blues." That's a photo of siblings Dexter and Sara Romweber with their new third wheel. Meanwhile, the Dead Weather have appearances lined up in Louisville, Outside Lands, and ACL. And the White Stripes? They have plans too. In an interview with Music Radar, Jack says he and Meg have already recorded songs for a possible 2010 release. He also discusses Meg's acute anxiety which derailed the duo's last tour ("It was a very real problem, but one that I'm happy to say is in the past").
The Dex Romweber Duo Trio 7" hits record stores in late May and the Dead Weather's debut LP Horehound follow 6/9, both via Third Man Records.

jack white: the master of awkward press photos.
Score = 4
This isn't going to go over well at all, I know it.
But honestly, he looks like a less terrifying robert smith in that photo.
Score = 0
Less terrifying? I don't know, I doubt Robert Smith was ever charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault.
Score = 1
For being such an egotistical freak i kinda really don't mind him. Have some of his music anyway.
Score = -3
I really love what he's trying to do- the concept is brilliant and great news for a music industry that is so alienated from true musical artists. But I'm also really tired of seeing his fucking face! And odds are, this will be another great concept ruined by Jack's wandering self-induglence.
Score = -3
Let's be honest: if the White Stripes are recording songs now, they could easily release a full-length by the end of summer. It could be coming out next week, for all we know.
Score = 4
God I hope you're right. All-in-all, Jack's side stuff is pretty dec, but palesssss in comparison to the Stripes.
Score = 3
He looks like the Cure Girl from Wet Hot American Summer in that picture.
"What do we do at the barbecue if we're vegan?"
"What?"
"WHAT. DO WE DO. AT THE BARBECUE. IF WE ARE VEGAN?"
"There's...corn."
Score = 0
They're actually married (the robert smith joke was taken?).
Score = -2
If I didn't know that guy was Jack White and I crossed him over the sidewalk I'd be scared shitless, I'd shit bricks.
Score = 2
Jack looks like something Tim Burton drew on a napkin.
Score = 6
Oh my God I thought that was John Travolta in front.
Score = 0
Any day there's confirmation of new White Stripes material is a good day. And a 2010 album hints that the Headliners of next year's fesitval schedule probably won't be so weak.
Score = 0
The fact that Jack White and Chan Marshall continue to champion Dexter Romweber is nothing but a good thing, in my book. The Flat Duo Jets were one of the greatest live acts I've ever witnessed and The Dexter Romweber Duo show I saw earlier this year was nothing short of great. And how dare a rock star look strange in a photograph? Why must he be interesting and mysterious? Why can't we read about his every purchase on Twitter?
Score = 2
Edward Scissorhands?
Dex Romweber rulez. No doubt.
Score = 1
sweet, dexter deserves this. he's been working his ass off for years and is freaking brilliant. i loved the flat duo jets... one of the greats.
Score = 1
