“Why prowl around and make a spectacle of yourself when you can lay in wait under some darkened bridge and swill whiskey like a troll full of hate until your victim appears?” That’s the Dead Weather’s Alison Mosshart in this cinematic spoken word piece she made with UK-based composer James Spankie.

The pair collaborated on “Electricity” after Spankie was asked to write the soundtrack to a few short films by Supersweet Magazine’s Eleanor Harvey. As he writes on his blog:

Jack White is no fan of digital music distribution, digital recording, or non-vinyl releases in general, but that won’t stop him from exploiting a few digital options on the side. The Dead Weather released an iTunes exclusive EP today with live videos and audio from their surprise set at the Third Man Records and Novelties pop-up shop this past summer in Los Angeles

Here’s the official Live From Third Man West tracklist, via their official site:

1. “Forever My Queen” (Pentagram Cover) - audio only
2. “Hang You From The Heavens” - audio/video
3. “I Cut Like A Buffalo” - audio/video
4. “So Far From Your Weapon” - audio/video
5. “Treat Me Like Your Mother” - audio/video

British tabloids have been having fun all week making up stories that force the stars in said fake story to speak out, creating a whole new article! Today, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart debunked a report by The Sun that she and Dead Weather drummer Jack White got into a physical brawl after a day of drinking in New York. Some gossip rags were even reporting that White punched Mosshart.

“I don’t usually bother responding to ridiculous fabricated tabloid rumours, but this one is particularly grotesque,” Mosshart told NME (whom rightfully put the original story in their “Gossip” section). “The stories circulating from a UK tabloid of a ‘fist fight’, or Jack punching me, or the two of us ‘being at each others throats’ are untrue.”

In other news, Bat Boy has yet to respond to rumors he was captured by the FBI.

There’s been a bit of drama surrounding The Kills recently, but this week’s brief disappearance of guitarist and Kate Moss boyfriend Jamie Hince has brought it to a whole new level.

At Monday night’s show at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, Hince got violent with a fan that was allegedly giving him the two-fingered salute. In fact, Selt-Titled Mag’s associate editor Aaron Richter actually helped boost the soon-to-be victim onto the stage, thinking that Hince was just being playful. Hince then threw the guy against a stack of amps and somehow knocked him out before throwing the unconscious fan back into the crowd. For more details, click here.

Only two days later, Hince mysteriously went missing after the band’s gig in Montreal. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the Daily Mail reports singer Alison Mosshart was so concerned about her bandmate that she posted a worried message on Facebook, asking for help finding Hince before their scheduled gig in Toronto that night. Hince did reportedly show up for the set.

When Alison Mosshart, singer for The Kills and The Dead Weather, was hospitalized in Boulder, Colorado Wednesday night, her publicist said it was merely a spell of shortness of breath “caused by a combination of cold and altitude sickness.” Colorado’s high altitude probably didn’t help, but in a recent Q&A Mosshart revealed that she’s a bit prone to physical breakdowns on stage.

When asked if she’s ever fainted on stage before, Mossheart told Interview magazine: “A couple of times, actually. I did at Lollapalooza, which was outside and about 115 degrees. The stage was black, and we felt like we were melting—the bottoms of my shoes were literally smoking.” You know you’re rock ‘n roll when even your shoes are smoking.

“Another time,” she continued, “when we were in France in this massive auditorium, there were loads of people and absolutely no ventilation. I would look out to the audience, and all I could think was, You are stealing all my oxygen! It got stuck in my head. You guys are stealing my oxygen! And it kept on going around and around, and then I blacked out.”

This event sounds very similar to this week’s incident in Boulder. A source working backstage at the Fox Theatre show told TwentyFourBit exclusively that Mosshart was “totally killing it… and like 50 minutes in she just collapsed on stage. It was so quick and freak, nobody knew what happened.”

Mosshart drinks, smokes, rocks hard and then blacks out. Rock’s alive and well, kids.
