A '''calendar''' is a system for naming periods of time, typically [[day]]s. These names are known as [[calendar date]]s. Cycles in a calendar are often synchronised with the perceived motion of [[astronomical]] objects. A calendar is also a physical device (often paper) that illustrates the system (for example, a ''desktop calendar'') — this is the most common usage of the word.

'''The Raconteurs''', also known as '''The Saboteurs''' in [[Australia]], are a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]]-nominated [[rock music|rock]] band, featuring four members previously known for other musical projects.

As a subset, 'calendar' is also used to denote a list of particular set of planned events (for example, ''court calendar'').

According to the current definition, The Raconteurs qualify as a rock-and-roll [[Supergroup (bands)|supergroup]], featuring the songwriting of [[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]] of [[The White Stripes]] and [[Brendan Benson]], who are both from [[Detroit, Michigan]]. In the band's own words, however, they are not a [[supergroup]], asserting that the term implies something pre-planned, whereas they are actually "a new band made up of old friends."<ref name=MTV2>JH (2006). [http://www.mtv.co.uk/mtv2/music/article.jhtml?articleId=75132981 "Jack White and chums drop an album"] MTV2.co.uk (accessed May 18, 2006)</ref>

==Calendar systems==

The Raconteurs are one of the few non-Irish bands to star in the popular web-cartoons of ''[[Eyebrowy.com]]''.[http://www.eyebrowy.com/animations/jackwhite1.htm]

A full calendar system has a different [[calendar date]] for every day. Thus the [[week]] cycle is by itself not a full calendar system. Neither is a system to name the days within a year without a system for identifying the years.

==Members==

The simplest calendar system just counts days from a reference day. This applies for the [[Julian day]]. Virtually the only possible variation is using a different reference day, in particular one in a less distant past, to make the numbers smaller. Computations in these systems are just a matter of addition and subtraction.

*[[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]] (of [[White Stripes]]) – [[vocals]], [[guitar]], [[keyboards]]

*[[Brendan Benson]] – [[vocals]], [[guitar]], [[keyboards]]

*[[Jack Lawrence (bassist)|Jack Lawrence]] (of [[The Greenhornes]] and [[Blanche (band)|Blanche]]) – [[bass guitar]]

*[[Patrick Keeler]] (of [[The Greenhornes]]) – [[drumkit|drums]], [[percussion]]

*[[Dean Fertita]] (of [[The Waxwings]] and currently [[Queens of the Stone Age]]) as a live touring member only – [[guitar]], [[keyboards]], [[percussion]]

==Biography==

Other calendars have one, or, more commonly, two levels of cycles of days.

===Formation===

According to the official website, "The seed was sown in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was "[[Steady, As She Goes]]" and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler."

The band came together in Detroit during 2005 and recorded when time allowed for the remainder of the year.

==="Steady, As She Goes"===

Possibilities with one level of cycles:

"[[Steady, As She Goes|Steady, As She Goes/Store Bought Bones]]" was released as a limited-edition 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl record in Europe on [[January 30]], [[2006]],<ref name="NMEfirstsingle">[http://www.nme.com/news/white-stripes/22043 The Raconteurs confirm first single], ''[[NME]]'', [[2006-01-24]]</ref> and in North America on [[March 7]], [[2006]]. A CD version of "Steady, as She Goes" was released on [[April 24]], [[2006]], with the B-side "Bane Rendition."

*week and weekday - not very common

*year and ordinal date within the year, e.g. the [[ISO_8601#Ordinal_dates|ISO 8601 ordinal date system]]

The video for "Steady As She Goes," directed by [[Jim Jarmusch]], premiered on [[MTV2 Europe|MTV2]] on [[March 10]], [[2006]]. It was also available for streaming on the band's website. An alternate video, featuring the band racing each other in a soap box derby, with a rare appearance from [[Paul Reubens]] as the bad guy out to sabotage the race, premiered exclusively on [[Yahoo! Music]] [[June 19]], [[2006]].

Calendars can be classified by what their cycles are synchronised with:

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ran an article discussing how the song has the exact same bassline as [[Joe Jackson (musician)|Joe Jackson]]'s "[[Is She Really Going Out With Him?]]".<ref name="Copy">{{Cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,6115,1204700_4_0_,00.html|title=Do You Copy?|accessdate=2006-09-24|year=2006}}</ref>

*A ''lunar calendar'' is synchronized to the motion of the [[Moon]] ([[lunar phase]]s); an example is the [[Islamic calendar]].

*A ''solar calendar'' is based on perceived [[seasonal year|seasonal]] changes synchronized to the apparent motion of the Sun; an example is the [[Persian calendar]].

*There are some calendars that appear to be synchronized to the motion of [[Venus]], such as some of the [[ancient Egypt]]ian calendars; synchronization to Venus appears to occur primarily in civilizations near the [[Equator]].

*An ''arbitrary calendar'' is not synchronized to any external phenomenon; for example the [[week]] cycle.

*A calendar can also be acyclic.

Very commonly a calendar includes more than one type of cycle, or has both cyclic and acyclic elements. A ''lunisolar calendar'' is synchronized both to the motion of the Moon and to the apparent motion of the Sun; an example is the [[Hebrew calendar|Jewish calendar]].

The closing seconds of the track have been used to close "Saturday Live" on BBC Radio 4, generating a lot of interest as to what the song is.

Many calendars incorporate simpler calendars as elements. For example, the rules of the Jewish calendar depend on the seven-day week cycle (a very simple calendar), so the week is one of the cycles of the Jewish calendar. It is also common to operate two calendars simultaneously, usually providing unrelated cycles, and the result may also be considered a more complex calendar. For example, the [[Gregorian calendar]] has no inherent dependence on the seven-day week, but in [[Western society]] the two are used together, and calendar tools indicate both the Gregorian date and the day of week.

===Solar''Broken calendarsBoy Soldiers''===

''Main article: [[Solar calendar]]''

The Raconteurs' full-length debut, titled ''[[Broken Boy Soldiers]]'', was released on [[May 15]], [[2006]] in the UK on Third Man Recordings/XL Recordings and May 16 in the US on Third Man Recordings/V2 Records. It entered the UK charts at #2 and the US charts at #7. The album was recorded at Brendan Benson's in-home studio located in Detroit.

====Days used by solar calendars ====

Solar calendars assign a ''date'' to each [[solar time|solar day]]. A day may consist of the period between [[sunrise]] and [[sunset]], with a following period of [[night]], or it may be a period between successive events such as two sunsets. The length of the interval between two such successive events may be allowed to vary slightly during the year, or it may be averaged into a [[solar time|mean solar day]]. Other types of calendar may also use a solar day.

On [[November 3]], [[2006]], the Raconteurs performed 'Broken Boy Soldier' and 'Store Bought Bones' on [[Later with Jools Holland]]. According to reporters from ''[[Planet Sound]]'' who attended the show taping, during 'Store Bought Bones' Jack White's guitar broke down and they had to re-play the song. This eventually happened four times, with the band breaking up in laughter by the 4th take. The TV airing used edited pieces from all four performances and cut out any laughter.

====Future reform====

There have been a number of proposals for [[calendar reform|reform of the calendar]], such as the [[World calendar]], [[International Fixed Calendar]] and [[Sol Calendar]]. The [[United Nations]] considered adopting such a reformed calendar for a while in the 1950s, but these proposals have lost most of their popularity. [[Holocene calendar]] is another one for counting years.

In December 2006, Broken Boy Soldiers was awarded the title Album of the Year by Britain's Mojo magazine.[http://www.albumofthemonth.com/mojo2006.html]

===Lunar calendars===

''Main article: [[Lunar calendar]]''

Recently, The Raconteurs have been nominated for two [[Grammy Awards]]: One for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album|Best Rock Album]] (for ''Broken Boy Soldiers''), and another for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]] (for "Steady as She Goes").<ref> GRAMMY.COM - 49th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List, http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/49th_Show/list.aspx</ref>

Not all calendars use the solar year as a unit. A [[lunar calendar]] is one in which days are numbered within each [[lunar phase]] cycle. Because the length of the lunar month is not an even fraction of the length of the tropical year, a purely lunar calendar quickly drifts against the seasons. It does, however, stay constant with respect to other phenomena, notably [[tide]]s. A '''[[lunisolar calendar]]''' is a lunar calendar that compensates by adding an extra month as needed to realign the months with the seasons. An example is the [[Jew|Jewish]] calendar which uses a 19 year cycle.

===Future Plans===

Lunar calendars are believed to be the oldest calendars invented by mankind. [[Cro-Magnon man|Cro-Magnon]] people are claimed to have invented one around 32,000 BC.

The band is currently recording songs for their next album at Blackbird Studios in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. They have twelve songs written, and plan on releasing the album in 2008.<ref> Billboard.com "Raconteurs In The Thick Of Recording New Album",http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003575716</ref>

===Fiscal calendars===

''Main article: [[Fiscal calendar]]''

The Raconteurs have also recorded a new song called "Footsteps" with [[The Hives]], probably slated to be on the new album. "5 on the 5," a song the band played live, is likely to be on the album.

A fiscal calendar (such as a 5/4/4 calendar) fixes each month at a specific number of weeks to facilitate comparisons from month to month and year to year. January always has exactly 5 weeks (Sunday through Saturday), February has 4 weeks, March has 4 weeks, etc. Note that this calendar will normally need to add a 53rd week to every 5th or 6th year, which might be added to December or might not be, depending on how the organization uses those dates. There exists an international standard way to do this (the [[ISO 8601|ISO week]]). The ISO week runs Monday through Sunday and Week 1 is always the week that contains [[January 4]] Gregorian.

Along with those tracks, it's possible one of the many covers the band played live (or an entirely different one) will be on the album.

==Calendar subdivisions==

Nearly all calendar systems group consecutive days into "[[month]]s" and also into "[[year]]s". In a ''[[solar calendar]]'' a ''year'' approximates Earth's [[tropical year]] (that is, the time it takes for a complete cycle of [[season]]s), traditionally used to facilitate the planning of [[agriculture|agricultural]] activities. In a ''lunar calendar'', the ''month'' approximates the cycle of the moon phase. Consecutive days may be grouped into other periods such as the [[week]].

Other possibilities would be one of the leaked Brendan Benson demos. One reason for this was that both "Call It A Day" and "Together" were supposed to be on a solo album of his, as well as "Store Bought Bones" which was supposed to be a [[Get Behind Me Satan]] song. If a demo of his appeared on the new album, it would be likely to be "Feel Like Taking You Home Now" since critics have pointed out a Raconteurs influence.

Because the number of days in the ''tropical year'' is not a whole number, a solar calendar must have a different number of days in different years. This may be handled, for example, by adding an extra day ([[29 February]]) in [[leap year]]s. The same applies to months in a lunar calendar and also the number of months in a year in a lunisolar calendar. This is generally known as [[intercalation]]. Even if a calendar is solar, but not lunar, the year cannot be divided entirely into months that never vary in length.

Also, the title "Monkeys Have It Easy" was placed on the White Stripes site in the press release for [[Icky Thump]] with "discarded" after it. It's unlikely, but the song could be a new Raconteurs song now.

Cultures may define other units of time, such as the [[week]], for the purpose of scheduling regular activities that do not easily coincide with months or years.

The band recorded for a three week period before they prepared for individual releases with their other bands, though Jack said they might not finish by then.

==Other calendar types==

===Complete and incomplete calendars===

Calendars may be either complete or incomplete. Complete calendars provide a way of naming each consecutive day, while incomplete calendars do not. The early Roman calendar, which had no way of designating the days of the winter months other than to lump them together as "winter", is an example of an incomplete calendar, while the Gregorian calendar is an example of a complete calendar.

==Discography==

===Pragmatic, theoretical and mixed calendars===

=== Albums ===

Calendars may be pragmatic, theoretical, or mixed.

</gallery>

They have also released live performance albums in limited quantities at their respective concerts.

A ''pragmatic calendar'' is based on observation; examples are the religious Islamic calendar and the old religious Jewish calendar in the time of the Second Temple. Such a calendar is also referred to as an ''observation-based'' or ''astronomical'' calendar. The advantage of such a calendar is that it is perfectly and perpetually accurate. The disadvantage is that working out when a particular date would occur is difficult.

===Singles===

A ''theoretical calendar'' is one that is based on a strict set of rules; an example is the current Jewish calendar. Such a calendar is also referred to a ''rule-based'' or ''arithmetical'' calendar. The advantage of such a calendar is the ease of working out when a particular date occurs. The disadvantage is imperfect accuracy. Furthermore if the calendar is very accurate, its accuracy perishes slowly over time owing to changes in Earth's rotation. This limits the lifetime of an accurate theoretical calendar to a few thousand years. After then, the rules would need to be modified from observations made since the invention of the calendar, resulting in a mixed calendar.

==Live performances==

A ''mixed calendar'' combines the features of both pragmatic and theoretical calendars. Mixed calendars usually begin as theoretical calendars, but are adjusted pragmatically when some type of asynchrony becomes apparent; the shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar is such an example.

The Raconteurs first performed live at the Academy in [[Liverpool]], [[United Kingdom|U.K.]], on [[March 20]], [[2006]], launching a short British tour. Their first American date was the next month, on [[April 20]] at [[New York City|New York]]'s [[Irving Plaza]]. Nearly nonstop touring followed, bringing the band to audiences around North America and Europe. The high profile of [[Jack White]] meant that even though the band was new, they were able to sell out mid-size venues — a rarity for a band's first tour.

The band has played a number of music festivals in Europe, Asia, and North America (including Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL and [[Austin City Limits Music Festival]] in [[Austin, Texas]]), headlining many.

The Gregorian calendar, as a final example, is complete, solar, and mixed.

In November [[2006]], the Raconteurs played eight dates as the opening act for [[Bob Dylan]] on the northeastern leg of his U.S. tour.

==Uses==

The primary practical use of a calendar is to identify days: to be informed about and/or to agree on a future event and to record an event that has happened. Days may be significant for civil, religious or social reasons. For example, a calendar provides a way to determine which days are religious or civil [[holiday]]s, which days mark the beginning and end of business accounting periods, and which days have legal significance, such as the day taxes are due or a contract expires. Also a calendar may, by identifying a day, provide other useful information about the day such as its season.

The band has performed a number of covers during live shows. For instance, the set list usually includes renditions of "[[Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)]]" (a song written by [[Sonny Bono]] and popularized by both [[Cher]] and [[Nancy Sinatra]]) and "Headin' For the Texas Border" by [[The Flamin Groovies]]. Other songs the band has covered include [[Gnarls Barkley]]'s "[[Crazy (Gnarls Barkley song)|Crazy]]", [[Bo Diddley]]'s "Who Do You Love?", [[The Undertones]]' "[[Teenage Kicks]]," [[David Bowie]]'s "[[It Ain't Easy (song)|It Ain´t Easy]]", and [[Love (band)|Love]]'s "A House Is Not A Motel".

Calendars are also used as part of a complete [[timekeeping]] system: date and [[time of day]] together specify a moment in [[time]]. In the modern world, written calendars are no longer an essential part of such systems, as the advent of accurate [[clock]]s has made it possible to record time independently of astronomical events.

== The Saboteurs ==

==Currently used calendars==

The Raconteurs were forced to rename themselves as "The Saboteurs" for the Australian market when it was discovered that a [[Queensland]] band was already using the name "Raconteurs". The Queensland band refused to give up their name for the amount they were offered, and instead tried to extract a higher price from the Raconteurs' record company.<ref name="HeraldSunNameChange">[http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18734967%255E28957,00.html Double-up forces switch], ''[[Herald Sun]]'', [[2006-04-07]]</ref>

Calendars in widespread use today include the [[Gregorian calendar]], which is the ''[[de facto]]'' international standard, and is used almost everywhere in the world for civil purposes, including in [[China]] and [[India]] (along with the [[Indian national calendar]]). Due to the Gregorian calendar's obvious connotations with [[Christianity]] and [[Jesus]], non-Christians sometimes justify its usage by replacing the traditional era notations "''[[AD]]''" and "''BC''" with "''CE''" and "''BCE''" ([[Common Era]]). The [[Hindu calendar]]s are some of the most ancient calendars of the world. [[Gregorian calendar]] is much more widely used in Israel's business and day-to-day affairs.

A member of the Queensland band has said that they hadn't been informed of who was trying to buy their name and asked for the larger sum of money to see what would happen.<ref name="TripleJNameChange">[http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s1613948.htm Saboteurs of Raconteurs], ''[[Triple J|Triple J Music News]]'', [[2006-04-11]]</ref>

==Audio sample==

Also, the [[Iranian calendar|Persian calendar]] is used in [[Iran]] and [[Afghanistan]]. The [[Islamic calendar]] is used by [[Muslim]]s the world over. The [[Chinese calendar|Chinese]], [[Hebrew calendar|Hebrew]], [[Hindu calendar|Hindu]], and [[Julian calendar|Julian]] calendars are widely used for religious and/or social purposes.
