Video of the Week: Jack White-Love Interruption


This week's video is probably going to be the easiest review I've ever done, which is for Jack White's newest single "Love Interruption", from his upcoming solo album. Considering the recent bogie he pulled by producing the Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumbasses of Nu Rock (I'm amazed that any of these people are still around) Insane Clown Posse, Jack decided to go into major damage control by an easy-does-it approach to this new single. Not only is there a great Tom Petty approach to this track, but using the opening piano lick from Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" is a very nice touch. I also really appreciate the visual homage to old Ed Sullivan Show/Hollywood Palace for the setting of this video. There's lots to like here, but the only thing that baffles me is how all the female musicians in white flowing gowns look like the Master's Wives (not to mention how Jack resembles the Master with his perpetually ashen appearance) in that bizarro 60s cult movie "Manos: Hands of Fate" (hopefully, you've all only seen it its MST3K incarnation). Even so, good save Master Jack!
