Lean, Mean & Not So Clean...
Sometimes your ears are just in the mood to hear something raucous, and grimy that sounds good with the volume cranked. The Black Keys deliver the goods....think of the sound of Cream, smothered in a layer of oil & grease...nothing polished here! This Akron based duo brings it hard... bluesy, garage rock, mmm mmmm good. To get a flavor, I suggest an earlier album called The Big Come Up...just two guys pounding out what could double as the soundtrack for the third shift workers at a tire factory.
Warning: after a listen, you may need a bar of Lava Soap to get the dirt outta your ears. Listen up.

I'm down with that. But first, a shout out to ma' boyy Howdy Adoud. Marley always got ma' freak on too.
Back to the Keys. Growin up rich in the bad areas of Akron.... nearly got my ass kicked several times. Got to the point I couldn't even get out of my Carrera w/o gettin' some shitty look from some homeless prick. Not until I heard about the Black Keys. Now, all I do is roll up in the hood with some Keys blammin' and i'm good to go. Shit, now i don't even mind the peeps is so god damn po'.

Discriminatin gainst a folk causa his dialogue? That's a wee unfraindly, Ike. Didnae mean no harm, yi glaikit bastirt. An not recognizin the musical joke? Blinded by rage, I s'pose.
Ok, ok...will drop the Scotsman persona. Didn't pick up on the (Boy)George (O'Dowd) reference? Not as quick as you used to be, my friend. And you must admit, that first Marley post was pretty damn funny.
