It’s been a year since The Kills released Blood Pressures and excitement over the album hasn't waned. Celebrating their 10^th anniversary as a band this week they'll play a show at NYC’s Terminal 5 tonight, but have already given the city's elite a preview.  On Thursday, they gave an ultra-private performance at the swank Top of the Standard to help kick off Fashion Week.  Take a look.

It's quite something to watch Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince make sad for the camera in thie newly released video for The Kills' "The Last Goodbye." Directed by actress Samantha Morton (Control, Minority Report), it has the power duo sitting in a photo booth, making faces both goofy and lonesome over the quiet, plaintive track. Via Nowness, watch the video after the click.

What luck! In a week that turned out to be all about the kill, we're introducing our brand new Music Issue on newsstands now, featuring cover stars The Kills. Coincidence? We think so! Anyway, read all about the everlasting musical union between Mr. Hince and Ms. Mosshart -- and the new album they made -- here. Also in our May issue:

"When we get too serious about playing in a hotel lobby, we're fucked."

There are super-groups and then there is the Dead Weather, a serrated, rock-bluesy outfit featuring the White Stripes’ Jack White, the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Queens of the Age’s Dean Fertita, and Jack Lawrence of the Greenhornes and the Raconteurs (White’s other handpicked band of musical brothers). But, a word to the wise, do not call them a super-duper group. On the eve of the band’s first New York performance (only their second live gig ever, after the opening of White’s Third Man Records space in Nashville, Tennessee), we sat down inside Manhattan’s Gramercy Park Hotel to discuss their debut record, Horehound, the danger of overzealous fans, and “weird fucking aliens.” (Also see our other Dead Weather feature.)

By now you've heard that Bravo's standout hit Project Runway is moving to weepy woman's channel Lifetime. What you might not know is there's a legal battle brought by NBC (who owns the Bravo Channel) to keep the show. Harvey Weinstein, and his Weinstein Co. own Project Runway, and they feel poorly compensated for the show's success. The most shocking revelation thus far is the fact that Tim Gunn got paid a hefty $0 his first year at the show. Weinstein said in court yesterday that after the show became a hit (in its second season), Gunn was then paid a considerably higher $2,500 an episode -- still pretty paltry for big-time TV. Don't cry for Gunn though. Buzz from the show allowed him to publish a best-seller book, star in his own spin-off show, and landed him the sweet position of chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne.

While the dealers and collectors are away, the artists come out to play--well, at least over at L.A.'s Redling Fine Art, they do. With its AC switched off and its staff checked out, the gallery is making itself a temporary playground for a dozen artists to flex their aesthetics without worry of expectations. For "Please Stay Out, We're Open," the artists' work can only be viewed from outside the gallery's glass doors.

With their fever-hot new CD Midnight Boom, the Brit duo is making a murderous racket. Now if only they could do something about their bowling average.
