Jack White, Brendan Benson, and their band The Raconteurs perform "Somedays (I Don't Feel Like Trying)" and "Don't Bother Me" from their new album Help Us Stranger on "Jimmy Kimmel Live".
"So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." JFK, June 10, 1963.

Cool, New Pixies Song: "On Graveyard Hill" (Video)
.... Almost sounds like an outtake from the original Pixies!
I'm a HUGE fan of the original Pixies and was super-excited when they got back together, but have been less excited about their new stuff with Paz (who I previously liked a lot from Zwan and elsewhere).
This new song is pretty good; however... A return to form? It seems so. It does remind me a lot of the classic Pixies.
They've got a new album Beneath The Eyrie coming out September 13, 2019 on BMG and if this song is any indication of their "new" sound, it's going to be an album people will like a lot, including me.
