The Black Keys are one of those bands that’s been on my radar for quite some time. I’ve just never really built up the interest to fully investigate them-till now. I’ve heard very good things about their new album “Brothers”, and after checking out this awesomely hilarious video for “Tighten Up” (which is a kick-ass song independent of the video), I marched my ass to the local record emporium to pick up a copy.
I do have one qualm about the video-how come glasses kid’s glasses never come off in the fight? I’ve been in many a scrap in my day, and believe me when I tell you that the specs are usually the first to go. If I was still a fighting man, I’d have switched over to contacts long ago, but I’ve mellowed out in my old age.
Anyhow, enjoy the video!
“He smells like ranch dressing!” Awesome line! And kind of gross, too.

Any video in which guys scrap to get girls is awesome. After reading that Rolling Stone article and now watching this video, I think I’m getting the album now.

I still haven’t seen that RS article. Russell Brand kinda unnerves me.
