We knew that a live album wasn’t the only recording Jack White and Conan O’Brien put to tape back in June, and now the latest release from Team Coco-White has been unveiled: “And They Call Me Mad?,” an “improvised take on the Frankenstein legend” by the former Tonight Show/Late Night host, is now available for pre-order at Third Man Records and will ship out next week.

In addition to the Jack White-produced, hysterically histrionic A-side, the 7” vinyl includes an interview between White and O’Brien on the flip side. As Hit Fix reports, 100 limited-edition 45s will be sold at Third Man HQ in Nashville next week, as well, with all proceeds from the $100 vinyl sales being donated to a charity for uninsured musicians victimized by this year’s Tennessee flood disaster.

Earlier in the week, the official Dead Weather YouTube channel awoke from its 4-week slumber with a new music video featuring Los Angeles artist Max Neutra live-painting frontwoman Alison Mosshart in Third Man Records’ signature colors (yellow, white, black) to the tune of Jack White and co.’s new single “Gasoline” (one of my favorite songs of the year so far). It’s a fun clip, excellent painting, and Neutra’s talents are pretty much undeniable, but I thankfully held off on posting it as only 3 days later we’ve got another new Dead Weather video.

Team Third Man gave Team Coco the world premiere of their equally artsy new video for “Blue Blood Blues,” crafted by Tim Wheeler and Christopher Mills from footage of the band performing live at their Nashville headquarters. Needless to say, this Jack White/Conan O’Brien bromance is still awesome. Watch both videos below:

“I’ve had a crazy six months,” Conan O’Brien said from the stage of Jack White’s Third Man Records tonight. “Six months ago, I was the host of The Tonight Show, the greatest franchise in the history of television. Then I started a live tour, going from small theater to small theater. And tonight I’m pressing a vinyl recording. I’m going back in time! Next week I’ll be on vaudeville. Then i’ll be a steamship captain.” So that’s what they were building in there: a live album.

After White’s introduction, Coco and his “Legally Prohibited Band” tore through a set of cover songs, which included “On The Road Again,” the Band’s “The Weight,” White Stripes classic “Seven Nation Army” (vid of CT performance), “Blue Moon,” Stray Cats’ “Rock This Town,” and Radiohead’s “Creep,” of course. Jack White helped Conan close out the show with Eddie Cochran’s “20 Flight Rock.”

Fun fact: In keeping with Conan’s joke about “going back in time,” the performance/recording was briefly stalled due to the first reel of analog tape needing to be switched. Buddy Holly would be proud.

**Update: Conan O’Brien - Live At Third Man can be pre-ordered here.

Not surprising news, per se, as Max Weinberg’s role in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band notoriously clashed with his late-night TV schedule, but sad news for longtime Conan fans nonetheless: In an interview with City Pages, rock veteran Al Kooper revealed that though guitarist Jimmy Vivino, bassist Mike Merritt, and others plan to stay in Conan O’Brien’s backing band, former bandleader Max Weinberg will no longer be behind the skins.

“[Weinberg]’s not in that band anymore,” Kooper said, adding later: “They let him go. This is a big transition, and they’re all signing new contracts and everything so they replaced him, as far as I know.”

Beloved former Late Night/Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien, sidekick Andy Richter, and his former house band (sans Max Weinberg, now dubbed the Legally Prohibited Band) kicked off their music-heavy live comedy tour last night in Eugene, OR. According to reviews, Conan’s new repertoire was reminiscent of his “old days” at the 12:30AM time slot on NBC, complete with guitar-strapped performances by the man himself of a few apropos covers, including Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” and Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up.”

Though his rendition of “Creep” during the soundcheck contains more than a couple comedic lyrical adjustments, it’s Conan’s wonderfully absurd parody of Thom Yorke’s voice that takes center stage. I’m pretty sure he channels at least 4 different British accents. Watch Coco and the Legally Prohibited Band play Radiohead as a high-pitched version of Dick Van Dyke’s character in Mary Poppins below (via the Daily What):

Neil Young not only played with Dave Matthews at the “Hope For Haiti Now” telethon earlier tonight, but he also performed a touching rendition of Stills-Young Band classic “Long May You Run” for Conan O’Brien’s final episode as the host of the Tonight Show on NBC. Those weren’t the only epic musical moments of the evening, however, as we had previously believed…

Conan himself jammed with Will Ferrell, Beck, Ben Harper, and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons for a version of “Free Bird.” Seriously! Lynyrd Skynyrd’s epic classic rock jam “Free Bird” (complete with cowbell). Videos of both performances are embedded below.

Between this and O’Brien’s classy farewell speech, Coco’s final week has definitely made a few contributions to the canon of legendary TV moments at this point, I say.

Watch Will Ferrell, Beck, Ben Harper, Billy Gibbons, and Conan play “Free Bird” below:

Jimmy Fallon can do all the (brilliant) Neil Young impressions he wants, but his predecessor has the real thing coming up for his farewell episode of the Tonight Show on Friday night. The Wrap reports that NBC and Conan O’Brien finally reached an agreement this morning that officially makes this week O’Brien’s last as the host of the famous late-night talk show.

Don’t worry, though, Team CoCo. The Cone Bone will get $45 million from the network for his trouble, the possibility of returning to television in 8 months, and living legend Neil Young as his final musical guest.

Sure, some of us were originally hoping for the White Stripes to sing Conan off into the sunset (as they did for his final Late Night episode), but it’s pretty hard to beat Neil Young when it comes to making the night special. Not to mention, Will Ferrell and Tom Hanks are also among scheduled guests for Friday’s farewell, so it should be a fun, albeit bittersweet, goodbye.

All signs are sadly pointing to this week being Conan O’Brien’s last as the host of the Tonight Show, but the Cone Bone is going out with a bang, at least, plotting farewell appearances by Barry Manilow, Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, and a previously scheduled performance by Austin’s own Spoon on tonight’s episode.

It’s all uphill from Ke$ha, I suppose, but damn if Britt Daniel and company didn’t rock the f$ck out of Transference single “Written In Reverse” on CoCo’s Craigslisted Tonight Show set. (Plus, how ‘bout Max Weinberg’s Led Zeppelin cover licensing money grab FTW?! Better than stealing an unopened box of ballpoint Bics, I say.)
