Treat Me Like Your Mother by Dead Weather
July 29, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music VideoProps go out to Buck, one of my old co-workers, for pointing this video out. We definitely don’t share a love of Jack White, but we both love the directorial work of Jonathan Glazer. I honestly know nothing about this band, but the video features Jack White and some chick with her hair dyed black. They’re walking along the undeveloped area of a suburban housing community, very similar to where I grew up, singing and shooting each other up.
The video is filled with lots of beautiful scenes of shoout outs and squibs firing left and right. But the real awesomeness doesn’t start till about 4:15, where Jonathan Glazer really starts to shine… that’s sort of a pun, once you get to that part.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.the “chick with her hair dyed black” is Alison Mosshart. Also in another insane band – The Kills. :)
Yeh she’s an absolute babe and a style icon. Get with the program man.
the group that Jack White gathered for this band is magic. pure magic.
they are coming to Seattle in a few weeks. get some.
Oh I didn’t even realize that was her! haha
I’m just not a big Jack Stripes fan, although I think he’s definitely a talented guy.
Yeah I have to say that I’m not a huge fan of either The White Stripes or The Kills but The Dead Weather is really quite awasome! There’s also a dude from QOTSA playing in the band and Jack’s buddy Little Jack from The Raconteurs. Good stuff, shall watch the video now.
digging the light rays shining through Jack White in the last few frames.
Not a Jack fan??
I’m aghast.
oh and hey – Bobby? Thank you for this.
This is like a quentin Tarrantino film. Indulgent, but in a good way.
genius
