The Black Keys have a new album, El Camino, coming out on December 6th. They've just put out this video for "Lonely Boy". Fun video, great song!
And click here for the story of how they found the star of the vid.
And if you haven't seen the album trailer yet, you can see it here.

Favourites: L7
Their name comes from that symbol you make with your thumbs and forefingers to refer to someone who's not too hip. You know. a "square". Picture it. L7.
They make some awesome, hard rocking music. You may have heard it in Natural Born Killers.
Here's "Pretend We're Dead"
And "Shitlist"

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
So I guess that Oasis broke up.
Yeah, I know that was a long, long time ago. And that brother Liam has already released an album.
But Noel was always the songwriter. And it's all about the songs. Right?
Noel's released his début solo album under the Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds moniker and what I've heard is good. The kind of good that's probably going to grow on me in a big way.
And I guess I'm not alone in this opinion, since the album's gone straight to #1 in the UK. Anyone want to bet whether Oasis is actually going to re-form?
This is the latest, "If I had a Gun",
and "The Death of You and Me".

Is there something wrong with my musical tastebuds?
I have a blogger confession. A really big, bad one. One I may not be forgiven for. I guess I'll just rip the band aid off quickly and say it.
I don't like any of the albums that have won the Polaris Prize. No, not Karkwa, not the Arcade Fire, not Patrick Watson, not Caribou, not Final Fantasy, not even Fucked Up.
There. Its out there. I can't take it back now. Wow. That feels so much better.
Now it's not all music prizes that I dislike. I have liked several of the Mercury Prize winners including The xx, Arctic Monkeys, Portishead, Pulp, Gomez, Klaxons and Franz Ferdinand, as well as way to many nominees to list.
I'm not sure what it is about bands that have won that particular prize. Am I alone in this?

Tangy new tune from The Ting Tings
Just the other day I was thinking, "Aren't we due for some new Ting Tings?", and then a new tune is released. I don't know if it's as instantly classic as "Shut Up and Let Me Go", "That's Not My Name" and "Great DJ", but we'll see after a few more listens.
