Must Have Album: The Black Keys (ALL THE DAMN ALBUMS)

I seriously love The Black Keys.

Why you ask?! Well firstly, why the hell not. And secondly its based purely on two interconnected things - honesty & rock.

Their music is straight up honest rock. Its magical, beautiful, pure blissful rock & I love it.

Perfect blend

of blues, soul, rock n roll.

And now that Dan and Patrick are finally getting the recognition they hate, but deserve, their opinions are bigger and even better.

Good on you world, its about time a Band that deserves to be up there makes it.

Down with Justin Beaver (not a mistake - refuse to give his name an acknowledgment) up with

the BLACK KEYS!!!!

(PS - I know they have 7 albums released, I just posted on the lastest two - ease for viewers to get into them)

The Black Keys - Brothers

* Ten Cent Pistol

* Next Girl

* The Only One

*****

Must Have Album (but only for the fan of): The Used - Vulnerable

The Used : Vulnerable

Excuse my candor, but this post is a bit selfish, as I am a fan so forgive me, just a little. I have been a fan since the beginning and yes, I know, the sound is a bit dated, yes, I know, they are getting old, and yes, I know, this album wont get them any new fans, but for the 'old' fans - this still is great, it still rocks f*****g hard, and its awesome.

So once again, for the ol' fans of The Used, get this album, enjoy the nostalgia, and add it tothe collection.

Stand Out Tracks:

* Put Me out

* Together Burning Bright

* Hands and Faces

White & White Clock

I am a MASSIVE fan of clocks. A clock finishes off a wall, a desk, actually any interior space.

The new White & White Clock is beautiful. It is a must have, must use, must abuse product.

Big ups and hats off to Kibardin Design for this must have clock.

French Photographer Benjamin Béche has taken some of our favourite children characters

and put them into real life situations.

This is classic, fun, dark, twisted and plain ol' pure awesome.

Enjoy.

#1 Accessory - The Beard

The best accessory a man can have and wear everyday is a beard. As long as its epic (massive or stuble) use it, grow it, abuse it, love it.
