One two, one two, check it: The Raconteurs are out to regale ya, in full storytelling regalia, they won't fail ya, on tour this very day. 'Bout to drop a single in the UK, hittin' you wit three formats to play, October 23 is the due day-- but me, I'd rather listen to Lupe. Uuh. One two, one two. Mic check.

Ahem, sorry. Food & Liquor, that's where it's at. But you're here for the Raconteurs, and that's cool too. The new Raconteurs single for Broken Boy Soldiers' not-quite-title track "Broken Boy Soldier" arrives October 23 in the UK via XL, in three lovely formats. B-side goodies include KCRW sessions, live tunes, and a Flamin' Groovies cover. Tracklist and tour dates (including some with Bob Dylan) ahead. Peace out.
