On my third listen of El Camino by The Black Keys. It's very, very, very good. Right up there with all of their past work. You can hear Danger Mouse's influence as well which I feel is a good thing but doesn't take away from their raw, gritty feel.

Nice. Haven't heard anything but praise for it. Probably going to listen to it tonight or tomorrow.

So the Afghan Whigs are apparently reuniting (for a few shows at least)....

I don't know how new they are but I discovered Trampled by Turtles a few months ago and I love them.

Been listening the Bright Lights EP by Gary Clark Jr. non-stop. He is a really good blues guitarist with a neo-soul vibe in some songs too. I highly recommend it. His website is offering a free download of the song title "Bright Lights" right now.

Picked up a copy of Wilco's latest the other day.

Mac and Devin Go to High School

Huh? How'd I miss this? I got cold chills just thinking about them playing together again. Surely there'll be som Cincy-area shows, I hope.

My son has really gotten me into The Avett Brothers.

I loved the EP. Expecting a lot.

Also in heavy rotation.
