The Black Keys got 4 Grammy Nominations in all.

from the Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Black Keys, the blues-rock duo featuring Akron natives Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, received Grammy Award nominations in four categories, including best alternative music album for their latest release, “Brothers.”

The nominations were announced as part of an hour-long CBS special from Club Nokia in Los Angeles that featured performances by nominees such as Mars, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Train and Miranda Lambert. Winners will be announced on Feb. 13.
The Black Keys’ single “Tighten Up” is in the running for best rock song and best rock performance by a duo or group with vocals, while “Mud” is nominated for best rock instrumental performance.

Carney’s brother, Michael Carney, was nominated in the best recording package category for his art direction on “Brothers.”

A few years ago I dressed up like Jim Jones for Halloween. I had to borrow 1000 dollar prada glasses from Martin Weedsteeler to complete my outfit.
Well, this year I have the option of dressing either like The Black Keys or Waka Flocka Flame at a fraction of the price.

Costume order info and pricing after the jump

The Black Keys dress-up kit consists of Patrick’s glasses and Dan’s beard. It is 20 dollars and availble on the band’s website.

Waka Flocka Flame’s mask is 5.99. And available on his website.

Whether you pay 5.99 or 20.00 those are very affordable costume options.

I interviewed Waka Flocka Flame recently and will post that on Donewaiting Monday.
Happy Halloween from Waka Flocka Flame and the Black Keys.

MP3: DJ Detox & DJ Johnny Cashola-Get Your Mind RIght Vol. 1

Get Right Columbus is now also going to be a monthly in Brooklyn starting July 31st. Say Word?
Word.
The folks at the Knitting Factory carefully stumbled upon Get Right Columbus success. And they dealt with mathematics. And what does that add up to?

Every last Saturday, every month starting in July, DJ Detox, and Johnny Cashola will be bringing the same club bangers to the Planet aka Brooklyn is the borough.

Can’t make the commute to Get the Empire State of Mind Right? Disnae worry…Get Right will still be monthly in the C-O.

America’s Number 1 Source for News, Weedsteeler.com is sending two of our finest to an inside-job city in style with a party at Bristol Bar this evening. The music will be provided by the usual cast of total shit-maniacs(sorry only Columbus staffers) ,  Chris Lutzko of the Unholy Two, and Sargent D of Stuff You Will Hate.Com/MetalInquisiton.

The event is hosted by CJ Townsend

Martin Weiland describes their new projects as thus:

this project is a purely masturbatory, monthly, joint effort between shawn and i, that we use to make ourselves think/ work/ design outside of our comfort zone and outside of the way we do on a daily basis in a professional setting. we put it together in one night (the cover title). there are no revisions. the first attempt is what gets sent to print. that is the main unifying concept of the series. the content is made up of images that are collected and created through the month, up until the night we lay the book out. the series deals with many ideas, including, but not limited too: making “poor design choices” , the enlargement of color, humor and inside jokes, ideas of copyright and ownership, creating new realities, digital vs. manual, experimentation with objectionable images/symbols, the internet, the corporate work environment, predicting the future, modern forms of communication, and the ideas of sale-ablity and un-sale-ability.

For more infro go to the Wexner Center, Milkbar or LAdybird.

3CB finally did a CSBYS calender. I can only over expose the Columbus DIY community once every three months without my friends validly accuse me of pandering them to hipsters.  But you can find more on Columbus DIY events on the Columbus Sucks Because You Suck Message Board.oops.

(3CB is partially Jewish and Pro-Isreal so this flyer isn’t anti-Semetic.)
