The Black Keys - Howlin' For You

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen...

The "Sex on Fire" moment for The Black Keys.  The moment they go from "altstream" to "lamestream" [via Carles].  The moment they go from Pitchfork to your mom's jogging iPod playlist.




It feels like a trailer for another bad Robert Rodriguez movie, nope, it's the actual music video.  Don't ask me why, but you have to go to IMDB to see it.

JAM OF THE WEEK: 6/7 - 6/13/10

A few pretty good songs and videos came around last week, but I'm so heavy on the Black Keys right now, that I had to give this live studio session the nod.

Nominees:
Ne-Yo - Champagne Life
Rhymefest ft. Phonte - Say Wassup
Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours
Von Pea & Donwill ft. Che Grand - Headphone Rock

The Black Keys - Too Afraid to Love You (In-Studio)

As I've said before, I was never into The Black Keys until this year.
That said, I can promise you that when I do my annual Album of the Year pondering in mid-December, Brothers is ABSOLUTELY gonna be short-listed.  It's phenomenal.

The Black Keys - Tighten Up (2nd Video)

The Black Keys "Tighten Up"

The Black Keys | MySpace Music Videos


There was already a mighty fine video for this...but whatevs.
I like this one too, and the jam jams, so they can get away with it.

The Black Keys - Next Girl

This is Victory.
For whatever reason, I was never into The Black Keys.  Seems like I should be.  Like...this is a jam tailor made for me, and alot of their shit seems to be that way...yet I own none of it.

The Black Keys - Tighten Up

The Black Keys are yet another band on that long list of folks one might assume I was all sorts of into.
Never really happened.

Blakroc (The Black Keys x Mos Def) - On The Vista

Seems a bit strange that I haven't mentioned the Blakroc project here, right?
Like this appears tailor-made for me.

Well that's because a)  I'm not a fan of The Black Keys, and b) I assume anything associated with Dame Dash is crap.

Regardless...this song, with the mighty Mos Def, I like.
