Oh, you tried to call me just now and I didn't answer? Sorry, I was busy undergoing the most pointless three minutes and forty-nine second of my existence, and the music was loud.

The Raconteurs have released a live video of Broken Boy Soldiers' track "Level", and boy, is it ever a waste of time. The crystal-clear, super-cinematic footage and rock star Raconteurs "R" painted onstage had me wondering when the narrator would come in with a "coming to theaters near you," but the under-enthused band wouldn't hold an audience for long. And what's up director Sophie Muller's "unsteady as she holds" shaky camera syndrome?

But the real problem is that there just wasn't a need for this video. Plus Jack White's necklace is so last never.
