    blasphemy!!!! :D

    Hey, got my black keys stuff a couple days ago from the totally awesome cf. have been listening in the car, and it's pretty groovy. at this point though, i'm not gonna agree they are better than white stripes. it's interesting the two really different results from two guys both inspired by robert johnson and son house.
    jack's playing has an intensity and close to the edge danger that i haven't heard in the black keys yet.
    it's good though, and i'm enjoying it a lot.
    love "the blackwater fever" that came with it, now thats funky !!!!!

    It is amazing how the blues pioneers can be interpreted. Your right, they do have a very different sound.
    Dan probably plays most like the late Junior Kimbrough; very seperate too son house and the like. Much more hypnotic. I love Dan's songs where he keeps the droning sound with his thumb; the subtle changes in rythm are incredible! Jack White is eccentic and versatile but Dan puts me in a trance. See everywhere i go or meet me in the city.

    The Black Keys are my favourite band, I wonder what Stone and Mike thought of them when they opened for them. I'd love to hear Stone have a crack at some slow dirty blues.
