SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD: Given that the Sea of Cowards had to be turned over—by hand—every 20 minutes or so, you might think that the Dead Weather had a contingency plan in case someone couldn’t flip the record fast enough or falls asleep during the 24-hour live stream. But no: as White wrote beforehand, “I hope somebody DOESN’T flip it fast enough. I hope they drop it and it breaks! Then I would know people would be aware of the realness of the event. Mistakes are beautiful, they spur conversation, they involve the listeners and make them part of the scenario. Perfection is a hopeless and fleeting ideal for art and music, it’s the mistakes that involve other people and let them own the experience.” (5/3a)
