More on the BlakRoc Sessions

The more I hear stuff from the Black Keys upcoming rap project Blakroc the more I like it.  It is very cool how the different worlds come together.  Here is some video from the sessions.

The Black Keys Are Releasing A Rap Album?

The rock-blues duo from Akron, OH is collaborating with a variety of rap artists to release a new album on November 27th (Black Friday).  They are calling the project Blakroc.  It will be interesting how the Black Keys sound with the likes of Mos Def and Q-Tip.  The little trailer above is cool and the first track sounds pretty good.

More TV

We are starting to get into the new HBO series 'Hung'. It is a pretty funny show. It is about a high school teacher/coach from Detroit who is down on his luck so he becomes a male prostitute. The real reason I am posting is because there is an awesome Black Keys song in the opening credits.

Black Keys - I'll Be Your Man

Since the intent of my blog is to expose you to new music or reacquaint you to music you have not heard in a long time.  I will do a weekly feature of a band or singer that I believe is worth checking out.

This week's band is the Black Keys.  There is a drummer and a guitarist that make up the band.  They are a hard driving blues band that hails from Akron, OH or as Freek used to say Aykron.  These guys are definitely worth checking out.  Dan Auerbach, lead singer, now has a solo album out too.
