Hear Rolling Stone’s Favorite New Tracks including The Raconteurs, The Rolling Stones and Gnarls Barkley

The Raconteurs “Carolina Drama” Jack White tells the story of a boy who kills his mom’s boyfriend — it’s an epic blues jam even Jerry Springer would love. [Listen]-[Review] The Rolling Stones “She Was Hot” Jagger and Co. rescue this 1983 groupie tale from obscurity, building it into a bold ode to nostalgia. [Listen]-[Review] Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds “Today’s Lesson” Over a hypnotic bass line, Cave howls an awesomely dirty love song about a guy who digs a girl with “pretty knees.” [Review] Gnarls Barkley “Charity Case” Cee-Lo filters his voice through druggy, distorted funk loops, then bargains for salvation over tinkling chimes and chain-gang gasps. [Listen]-[Review] Foals “Electric Bloom” Interlocking guitars and electromagnetic percussion help this Oxford group find the perfect middle ground between Brit pop and art rock. [Review]

Lost Nick Cave Screenplay For “Gladiator” Sequel Surfaces

Photo: Flokis/Getty We all know Nick Cave for his work with the Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds. But in 2006 we found out he had a penchant for sword-and-sandal flicks when word broke that Gladiator star Russell Crowe had requested the singer-songwriter write a screenplay for a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic — Cave did the writing, but the film was never realized. According to a new report in the Guardian, that rejected script has been unearthed by the musician’s fans, and it’s a real doozy

Nick Cave, Dizzee Rascal Attempt to Rescue Dull Plug Awards

Does the music industry really need another way to celebrate albums released in 2007? Last night’s Plug Awards seemed to answer the question by irreverently referring to its trophies as Butt Plugs. At New York’s Terminal 5, industry insiders and indie-rock fans engaged in a night of back-slapping at the fourth annual ceremony, which recognized the best of independent music as chosen by an insular board of a few hundred tastemakers, industry folk, music fans and more. No one seemed remotely interested in the event, which amped up its nerd quotient by featuring a location called the “Blogger’s Pit.” Still, there were some minor celebrities in attendance: Most of the guys from the National were in the crowd chatting with friends (frontman Matt Berninger wisely stayed home); the tall dude from Vampire Weekend milled about; Saturday Night Live’s Fred Armisen looked like he was desperately searching for the exit. While the awards portion moved briskly — Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible took home top honors for Album of the Year — the best part by far was the performances. British hip-hopper Dizzee Rascal ran through his killer hit “Fix Up Look Sharp” and show closer Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds teased new material from his forthcoming record Dig Lazarus Dig!!! The dour Aussie legend, who weirdly enough looked the spitting image of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood, took turns between playing guitar and wailing on an organ, as the Dirty Three’s Warren Ellis spiked the tunes with some creeptastic violin drones on fan-faves like “Tupelo.” The set brought some much-needed spark to an otherwise dull event.

Nick Cave: 'My Music Isn't Religious'

Tired of the usual Dick Clark New Year’s Eve fare? On December 31st at midnight, ring in 2008 with Radiohead and Al Gore. To mark the New Year’s Day release of the In Rainbows CD, Gore’s Current TV will broadcast a pre-recorded yet still-unseen performance of Radiohead playing their new album in its entirety, as well as some surprises (including a hinted-at Siouxsie and the Banshees cover). Like the band’s “thumbs down” webcast, the New Year’s performance can also be seen at Radiohead.tv at 7 pm EST, or midnight U.K. time. Following the shocking revelation that Gimme Shelter and Grey Gardens documentarian Albert Maysles was working on a Fall Out Boy film, Pete Wentz says the doc will examine “how the industry is changing” by focusing on Wentz’s Decaydance Records. The film will also document a year in the life of Fall Out Boy. According to the Ouija Board video on his Web site, Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds have a new album, titled Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, coming out on March 3rd. Still searching for that amazing post-Christmas gift? Ghostface Killah recommends, or rather demands, you pick up your very own Ghostface Doll. Call 213-455-1493 from a “pay phone, cell phone or a jail phone.” Operators are standing by. Check out John Mayer’s blog-sized analysis of the most popular word of 2007: “Douchebag.”

Grinderman by Grinderman

This self-titled disc is the first release for the new project from Nick Cave, who adds "guitar player" to his CV. Seeing as how most of the Bad Seeds join in as well, we're still not sure why the new name was necessary. (Actually, it sounds even more like their earlier band, The Birthday Party.)
