from Pitchfork:



The Raconteurs to Tour With Bob Dylan

Well I'll be-- Jack White's Raconteurs are racking up some big time opportunities. As previously reported, the group will play the Vegoose Festival on Halloween weekend and "host" MTV's VMAs a week from today...but that doesn't mean we saw their recently announced tour dates with Bob Dylan coming. Last thing we heard, dude was hating on all contemporary music.

But next thing we know, the Raconteurs have tacked on a handful of November tour dates alongside Dylan, who, of course, has a record, Modern Times, on its way via Columbia come August 29.

Prior to kicking things off with the Raconteurs, however, Dylan will spend close to a month on the road with Kings of Leon and the Foo Fighters trading off on support duties.

That's not so surprising. Two artists who sneer at modern music teaming up for one big sneerfest.

Don't get me wrong, I love The Raconteurs, and I think Dylan is a great songwriter, but they are totally intolerant of new music styles. I heard Jack tends to steal the show, so I imagine the Raconteurs aren't going to be around a whole lot longer. Not like, he does it on purpose, but some people were just born to be frontmen.

Yes, I guess that east coast leg of the tour is now officially the Luddite Loop.

Hear there's going to be a barn raising after the Amherst show.

Bring your earhorns Biatches.

Yeah, if Jack White wasn't in the band they'd have more than likely been swept under the rug.
