How rad is this, to honor the late, great Levon Helm, The Black Keys welcomed John Fogerty to the stage during their Coachella Weekend 2 set to perform The Band’s “The Weight.”
In music we trust!!

Paste Magazine – 50 Best Albums & 50 Best Songs of 2011
30 Nov
First and foremost, this stuff is hard. The amount of music that is released each year and narrowing it down to 50 is damn tough but I have to give Josh Johnson at PASTE Magazine much credit for his solid lists of 50 Best Albums and 50 Best Songs of 2011. There are definitely more than less bands/artists on his lists I have been jamming out to heavily over the past year. Again, I love this list, tons of great music but a couple names I didn’t see that personally I think should have been included, GROUPLOVE, Girls, Justice, Allen Stone, SuperHeavy, NewVillager and Boy & Bear to name a few. What’s missing that you fell in love with over the last year?

REVISITED: The Black Keys – 2 20 11 – Las Vegas
21 FebLast week was a musical bonanza for me beginning and ending with the Black Keys. Having not seen the guys live before, getting a chance to see them twice in seven days was quite a treat. The first show was a corporate event so while it was a phenomenal show it was tame and all business. I much preferred last night’s performance, full of energy and getting the chance to see a real rock show (something seems to be lost nowadays). I was also mad excited as Big Boi was the opener last night and he definitely didn’t disappoint. The 45 minute set featuring numerous Outkast classics and some off his highly acclaimed Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty, Big Boi had the packed house bouncing their heads and breaking into several sing-a-longs during “B.O.B.,” “Ms. Jackson” and “I Like The Way You Move.” Primed and ready for the Keys, it was fast paced and electric once Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney hit the stage. Running through a gamut of tracks including “Chop and Change” and “Tighten Up,” I personally have to say my favorite of the night was hearing “Howlin’ For You” live.
At first I was skeptical of seeing them perform in a modified ballroom but it actually sounded good. And check out the gallery of photos from last night’s show courtesy of Erik Kabik of Retna/ErikKabik.com.
