Jack White continues to be the coolness over at Third Man Records.  The other day I linked to the Black Milk songs that Jack guests on, Seasick Steve did a single, Chris Thile just did a single, The Strange Boys are putting out a live record, and  Pokey LaFarge is a good listen.  In the  latest record club release, the Vault, Wanda Jackson is putting out a live record, and there are songs from Andre Williams and Jack’s old collaboration, 2 Star Tabernacle.

Coolest/strangest/most-appropriate-for-this-blog is that Stephen Colbert is releasing a single via Third Man Records.  See all the videos of Stephen at playing the new song live and Jack White on the Colbert Report at The Modern Age.  Thanks to K$ for the heads up.

Bunch o’ random stuff in music that I thought worth posting about:

• Tallest Man On Earth has a new song via a new Adult Swim Singles collection. Not as great as the album, the Wild Hunt, but worth a listen.
• Avett Brothers have a new song out.  Check out the live performance on CMT.
• After talking to Brice about the folk-y kick I have been on lately, she suggested The Devil Makes Three.  Worth a listen.
• Adele has a pretty much amazing cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.“  The story behind the inspiration of the song is pretty awesome.
• Zooey Deshanel and M. Ward have a new song on the Pooh soundtrack.
• Via the Phantom and Jason Thomas, Jack White is releasing two covers the White Stripes did.
• Rome has been played on the radio a bunch, but have you heard Jack White’s collaboration with Black Milk?
