They might consider this a short film, but don’t mistake it, this is still just a video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” and not part of of some larger, creepier concept. The latest single from Jack White’s 57th side project, The Dead Weather [Official], features some Terminator-style combat and a ton of ammunition being discharged in a completely haphazard way. The “short film”/video was directed by Jonathan Glazer and the band’s album, Horehound, is in stores today, but so is The State DVD and I recommend you buy that instead, k?

For just a dollar a day an e-mail address, Warner are offering the single “Treat Me Like Your Mother” for download here, so go get it before it disappears!
