Lonely Boy
New jam by Black Keys. Love how great their videos are whether they put a bunch into the production in a song like “Howling for you” and then do something as simple as this video for their new song, Lonely Boy. And good song too.

The only other post in this side project dissects Cypress Hill’s “How I Could Just Kill A Man” (did you know it samples a Jimmy Hendrix song?).

Outside of the amazing but already well hyped (at least on the blogs) Charles Bradley and Michael Kiwanuka, Rollo & Grady’s post about the Top 21 New Artists of 2011 highlights an amazing band from Atlanta worth giving a listen called Turf War. They have been compared to the Black Lips in their straight up rock and roll sound and from their fun and raucous shows. From their twitter account, they seem like a good time.
