This week's song is Howlin' For You by The Black Keys. (Note: I put the music vid in because it's pretty good... but you can get just the song on YouTube)
The Black Keys are one of the few bands left that truly originated in a garage. Though just two guys, they bring a really unique and raw sound to the table. I'll admit it took me awhile for them to grow on me, but it eventually happened. After seeing Zombieland and how perfectly Your Touch fit into the final scene, I had to check out some of their other stuff and ended up really liking it. It's a pretty good bet that they won't be changing their style anytime soon -- it has kept that raw edge to it since 2001. Here's to hoping it never does.
Really good blog sir! I'll have to check out Black Keys. Hope you don't mind the random comment - I've been looking at random blogs lately and there's so many great blogs out there. May I follow yours? Feel free to follow mine as well. Happy blogging!
