Following in the illustrious footsteps of Chris Cornell, Garbage, Sheryl Crow, a-ha, Tom Jones, and so on, chart-topper Alicia Keys and Jack White of White Stripes and Raconteurs fame will perform the theme song to upcoming James Bond flick Quantum of Solace, according to a Billboard.com report (as yet not confirmed by representatives of either artist).

Keys and White will duet on "Another Way to Die", which White penned and will produce and play drums upon. The tune-- the first duet in the history of James Bond movie theme songs, for what that's worth, and the fourth to date to include the word "Die"-- will feature on the film's soundtrack, due October 28, and the film itself, due November 7.

Perhaps this is what Alicia was hinting at when she ran on to Rock & Roll Daily back in May, saying, "I think that combining [the White Stripes' raw] style with mine, which already has a raw feel to it, and my voice, I just think we could do something really interesting that mixes rock and soul together, the blues and emotion, and it could be really touching." Surely not more touching than "Die Another Day"!?

White's Raconteurs hit the road again next month, and they want your help. The boys recently launched a new live section of their website where they're seeking submissions for live video, images, and the like. Because you're not really having a good time at a concert unless you're logging the entire experience on amateur equipment for the enjoyment of others.
