The interview allows O’Brien and White to have the type of conversation they have not had time to touch on during White’s twelve appearances on O’Brien’s various broadcast shows. This episode features topics ranging from the time O’Brien and White first met in Detroit, to the relationship between music and comedy, to the importance of not taking the easy way out on any project.
#JACK WHITE SERIOUS JIBBER JABBER FULL#
The latter topic is on full display with this one-time use of 35mm film as opposed to standard digital cameras.īorn the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past fifteen years. In 2009, Jack White opened the doors to his very own record label, Third Man Records, where he has since produced and released more than 120 records in less than three years.
On ApWhite released his debut album Blunderbuss on Third Man Records/Columbia. albums chart–Jack’s first ever recorded effort to do so–and was the highest charting solo debut and biggest selling vinyl album of 2012 in the U.S. Supported by a world tour met with equal fervor, Blunderbuss also hit #1 in the UK, Canada and Switzerland, and more recently received a GRAMMY nomination for the night’s top honor, Album of the Year as well as Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song Freedom at 21.Comedy legend (and serious Beatle fan) Conan O’Brien has just interviewed Beatle legend (and serious Beatle fan) Mark Lewisohn on his chat show “Serious Jibber-Jabber.” It’s well worth a listen. “Most of the books you have read, upon which you base your knowledge,” Lewisohn begins, “in terms of biography they only skim the surface. And in that time, they’ll do six to nine months of research, six to nine months of interviews, and then they’ll write. I always felt this was a subject that would merit much deeper research. Particularly the documents tell a radically different story.” And it’s shown, because I found so many people who’d never been a book before, who tell completely different stories. Said it before, I’ll say it again: we all owe Mark Lewisohn a tremendous debt. If his three-book advance runs out before he’s done, I’ll run a Kickstarter to get it finished. He’s in a sweet spot - the Beatles story is pretty much concluded, but many of the most important sources are still alive. Now is the time that the history should be codified.Īnyway, go watch it at Team Coco. This is a very good interview, I’ve watched it twice now, sitting in my mountain lodge caught in torrents of rain for a few days. What I really like about an interview like this, that it undermines most fan-phantasies based on nothing but air.
The best thing both Conan and Lewisohn concluded was that the Beatles started to separate the moment they got together, because of their curious personalities – and of course the stopped at their best moment,: they wanted to stop, ok, McCartney didn’t want to stop, and other configurations would have been possible. They’ve stopped, and that’s good.Ībout Kickstarter. Well Michael, I suggest to kickstart your kickstarter because quite a few times Mark Lewisohn has explained that the research needed for the level of quality he aims for is very hard to achieve on his own. He doesn’t have a supporting staff, and that’s what he might need. It is easy a few millions in the long run (over ten years) My financial instinct suggest $ 200.000,- per year is needed to raise the level of research to what would make all of us very very happy. Maybe–but the speculation is happening anyway–it’s unavoidable.
