Steady As She Goes

Pitchfork reports that The Raconteurs will be hitting the road for a North American tour. There's only one Canadian date in Vancouver at Malkin Bowl on July 26th. So I was checking out the band's full album stream(for their debut "Broken Boy Soldiers" which was released today) that's currently over at AOL Music, and thought it was decent enough for me to pick up the album today. Of course, with Jack White of The White Stripes in the group, I was already tempted to check out The Raconteurs from the start. Sunrise Records was giving away a Raconteurs limited edition 7" with every purchase and I was fortunate enough to get the last copy! The band will be performing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien tomorrow night on the evening of May 18th.

By the way, The Raconteurs old-school computer-text-styled website is the BEST site I've seen in a long time. You don't even need a mouse! The website brings back memories of my highschool computer class back in the mid to late 80's when we were still using Commodore 64's.

And of course, the prerequisite MySpace link for The Raconteurs, from which I got the following music video link:
