I’ve been away from the full-size internet all-day so perhaps you have already seen these things. There were interesting articles about The Black Keys in Q, and American Songwriter Magazine.
Zane Lowe on BBC premiered a new Black Keys song Run Right Back today which is off their album EL Camino, that comes out December 6th. This is the b-side to the Lonely Boy 12″ single that comes out on National Record Store Day, November 25th.
You can listen to “Run Right Back” here.

Anthrax and Testament have just announced a co-headlining tour with Death Angel serving as the opening act. Anthrax is touring to support Worship Music which will come out later this month and may very well be the best metal album of 2011 (review forthcoming) while Testament has a new album coming out in 2012.
From the press release:
The Anthrax fan club presale begins today at www.anthraxarmy.com, and the public on-sale kicks off Friday, September 9 at 10AM local time. For more information or to purchase tickets, log onto http://anthrax.com http://www.testamentlegions.com/ or http://deathangel.us/
When reading this press release for the upcoming Lou Reed/Metallica record LULU my mind drifted to some other bizarre collabs:
Jello Biafra and the Melvins? Dead Kennedys and Melvins aren’t the same but adding a vocalist to the Melvins music wasn’t that absurd.
Trent Reznor and El-P’s Flyentology? Both dudes are cypercreeps. Song is good.
So that brings us to the Lou Reed, and Metallica’s upcoming album Lulu that drops November 1st, on Warner Brothers. Continue reading
