The Hardest Button to Button

The White Stripes in Riverside Park Beck meets Jack White

The new video for The White Stripes, The Hardest Button to Button is directed by Michel Gondry, who Lego-ized them in Fell in Love with a Girl, complete with cameo by Beck. The video was filmed in New York at Harlem and Riverside Park (near Grant's Tomb) and they also used a PATH train. The spot shows Jack, Meg, and endless amps and drums all over the locations. And while Jack White looks spookily pasty, it does not seem to be Halloween make-up - it is the real thing.

"To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x version." Man, Launch.com really sucks. Is it 1997 again?

not trying to make MTV think people actually care about its site, but its there as well.

Wild, didn't realize that was a new video -- the new Michel Gondry director's label DVD has it on there already.

i don't like this video. Jack looks down right creepy, and I'm still a little bitter that he broke his hand while getting road head from Rene and cancelled the summerstage show. I'm still alot bitter.

What happened to the sophia coppola video with Kate Moss? Did MTV ban it or something?
