EPISODE 4:
"DISCUSSION ON LYRIC WRITING WITH DEAD WEATHER VOCALIST ALISON MOSSHART"
DIRECTED BY JACK WHITE
The Dead Weather have released the final of four technique and instrument-based videos. In this fourth episode, vocalist Alison Mosshart lets us in on her favorite way to come up with ideas for lyrics. Please note that we don't necessarily condone her unique method, but we trust her and love the results - a lot. The video, directed by Jack White, concludes with a full band live performance of the smoldering voodoo of "Lose the Right” from the new album Dodge And Burn.

I haven’t had time to watch the video yet, but could’ya have Alison call me when she’s ready to sell that car?
Love that Billboard’s article says “which also includes bassist Jack Randall”. No more LJ; just RJ.
Great one, my second fave of the videos after JW’s, and this performance————HOT. The only downside to seeing TDW performing these songs is that creeping sadness audiences won’t be seeing them live, onstage, in the flesh this year or (it seems) next year. But thanks to TDW for giving us these vids. Love ’em.
Interesting to learn about her writing process. Ironically my best ideas come to me when I’m in the shower, and then I quickly scramble to write them down in legible way.
Bassist Jack Randall!!!
