Music: Raconteurs Celebrate the Change of Seasons by Springing New Album on Unsuspecting Public

Jack White's other band, you know, the one he sneaks into motels with for a little string-bending while Meg's not around, has stunned the music world by announcing their new album Consolers of the Lonely will be released next Tuesday. Amazingly the set was only finished on March 1st. There will be no preview for the media.

Presumably The Raconteurs are taking this unusual task to replicate the old days of records being released without leaking onto the net and being consumed as a whole by excited fans eager to hear the next note from their favorite band.

Music News: Jack White Finds a Replacement For Meg?

"Hmmm Bob White...I like the sound of that..."

As Rolling Stone Magazine's website has been breathlessly reporting all week, Jack White has taken to sharing a stage with Bob Dylan lately and spurring His Greatness to play songs not previously or rarely played live. Could Bob be angling to become Grandpa Bob White? Or perhaps Jack has his eye on George Harrison's vacant Wilbury spot. Either way, fans who are lucky enough to catch the Amos Lee/Raconteurs/Dylan shows should have a unique experience.
