continued enjoyment

So last night, four months after it came out, Brooke and I finally rented Quantum of Solace.  It was okay but not nearly as good as Casino Royale in my opinion.  Craig makes an incredible Bond  and despite some complaints that the Bond movies are becoming more like Bourne movies I think the move away from goofy and silly gags and ridiculous gadgetry is a good one.  Seeing Bond as a flawed and haunted person makes him a more believable character.  Anyway, that is not what this post is about.  While the movie was okay my favorite part was actually the new Bond song at the beginning of the movie.  Those of you who've read my blog for awhile will know that I'm a huge Jack White fan.  What a thrill then to discover that he did the Bond song with Alicia Keys.  Besides the fact that the song is well done I found that there voices blended together in a very interesting way.  It'd be great to see them do some more collaborating.

While watching the video after the movie, and saying yet again how amazing Jack White is, Brooke accused me of having a man-crush on him.  I'm not sure if it's a man-crush but there's definitely a musician-crush going on along with some serious envy of his musical ability (since I have absolutely none).  Below are a few videos that demonstrate why. (If you only watch one of these then watch the last one.)
