The Black Keys Thread

[the tourist]

One of my favs too, but it always burns my ass when a favourite is a cover

Act Nice And Gentle is one of my favorites of Rubber Factory, too.

 

[BoMac]

Listened to their next single, Run Right Back, on the Zane Lowe show and I liked it. Also, Patrick was interviewed and said not only did Danger Mouse produce the album, but he helped write it, too.

 

[super fly guy]

Right peeps,im looking to get into this band. What would be a good starting point?

 

[martha]

Rubber Factory, cos it's their best one.

But I started with Attack and Release and was hooked immediately.

 

[Imperor]

Rubber Factory, cos it's their best one.

By the widest of margins. Hot girl at the record store this afternoon asked if they had any copies of Brothers. I was heartbroken.

 

[martha]

Maybe she's just a completist.

 

[super fly guy]

Cheers guys,will give them a listen.

 

[martha]

Listen, but turn it way the fuck up.

Given that I quite liked Brothers, this post would appear to suggest I check out Rubber Factory.

Monday just got a whole lot better.

Monday just got a whole lot better.

Can't wait to listen to this.

 

[LemonMelon]

Only two tracks on Grooveshark. Gotta wait until tonight because the download speeds at school are shit.

 

[trojanchick99]

Listened to it a couple times already and it's really fun. It's got some great '70s sounds. Little Black Submarine is very Zeppelin influenced. Love that one. Also very fond of Gold on the Ceiling and Stop Stop. It's not a groundbreaking record but it's damn entertaining.

 

[LemonMelon]

Anyone who complained about Brothers being too long will find this record refreshingly brisk. Every song kicks ass and is a great time Terrific stuff, one of their best if you're fine with just hearing the Black Keys rock. I totally am.

 

[martha]

So I'll be at Fingerprints using some store credit next Tuesday evening.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I might have to give this a listen at some point today.

I'm not a big fan of this band, I find them a bit too humorless (among other things), but I don't hate them by any means. And, one of my best buddies is a huge fanboy, so I'll be hearing these songs for the next 6 months no matter what I do. Might as well get acquainted with them on my own terms first.

They prob. just haven't announced the full tour yet, which is annoyingly becoming a normal thing for bands.

 

[martha]

arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh.

 

[martha]

I see now on their facebook link that's it's the first leg. Sheesh. Are they still booking venues or something?



Can we all tell it's Friday morning and I don't want to go to school to do 12 parent conferences?

 

[PhilsFan]

That's during my spring break. I'll be home in Philly. YES!

 

[trojanchick99]

If they don't play LA because of stupid Coachella, I'm going to be angry and broke from buying a Coachella ticket.

 

[corianderstem]

I heard the new song on the radio this morning. I dug it. I eagerly await the album.

 

[martha]

And the freaking Arctic Monkeys are touring the US with them. At least for the leg that DOESN'T come west.


grrrrrrr

 

[trojanchick99]

Wait, the Arctic Monkeys AND the Black Keys? That's a great bill. If they don't both play LA, I'm going to be royally pissed.

Funnily enough, at OSL this year, it was Arctic Monkeys followed by the Black Keys. Awesome.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm broke

Want to live vicariously through me, Martha?

Yes. And if they count Coachella as their LA date, I'll be PISSED.

I'm broke

Want to live vicariously through me, Martha?

Yes. If I had rap star money, I'd put you both up at the Hilton (or whatever) in Indianapolis with two douchebag seats.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm going to buy tickets on the 9th in the regular sale. I'm hoping that I will be able to get them. Oh and they are on SNL tonight.
