Public television rules! In September, Cat Power and the Memphis Rhythm Band performed at a taping for PBS' "Austin City Limits" show. The episode, which also features the Raconteurs, is scheduled to air on December 30, as previously reported.

But we can't wait that long. Thankfully, the good people behind the program have made a clip from each band's performance available early, exclusively through Pitchfork. Both videos can be streamed by clicking on the links below.

In the first clip, Cat Power and her band take on The Greatest's "Could We", highlighting the track's Southern, bluesy vibe (which blends right in with the fake skyline backdrop).

Next up, the Raconteurs take a stab at the Broken Boy Soldiers cut "Level", and for some reason, Jack White seems overcome with onstage jitters up until his first solo. (Aww, celebrities get nervous too!) But once he loosens up and drops the shaky vocals, "Level" is spacey fun.

And by the way, White had better get that stage anxiety thing in check, because he might end up making a speech at the Grammys in February. The Raconteurs have been nominated for two awards: Best Rock Album (Broken Boy Soldiers) and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group ("Steady, As She Goes").
