The Dead Weather to premiere short film; music fans to shrug indifferently
If you didn’t know already, The Dead Weather has a “short film” coming out for their song “Treat Me Like Your Mother.” According to the email we received, it will be “groundbreaking,” “uncensored,” and “on Cinemax.” Frankly, I’m surprised that Cinemax would stoop so low as to possibly show nudity. Tsk tsk. Anyway, they’ve released… Continue reading The Dead Weather to premiere short film; music fans to shrug indifferently

Another trip down memory lane. Loved this commercial, loved the music, loved my life. Actually, not so much the latter. But when I first saw this on TV four years ago, I began a little Hem phase.
