The internet moves fast. Yesterday, The Black Keys recorded a cover of Captain Beefheart’s song “I’m Glad” and posted it on their Myspace page for a free download. You can also download it here, too:
MP3: I’m Glad by The Black Keys
I thought following thing I found on Rolling Stone’s Website about Rod “Do You Think I Am Sexy?” Stewart pertaining to the Black Keys was kinda funny:
When we heard that Rod Stewart was at Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party, the Smoking Section had to say hey: for our money, he epitomizes what it means to be a rock star. “I want to make a blues record,” he told us. “You know, Muddy Waters, the old stuff, and I want it to be backed by the Black Keys.” What do you think about that idea, he asked us — and we responded that the collaboration had the potential to be amazing. “Do you think that they know who I am?” he asked.
Now, Rod Stewart is old as dirt. And most certainly somewhat of a cornball. He is prolly 30 to 40 years older than me. But I can’t really be mad at Rod the Bod because he most certainly dates models that are least a decade younger than me. And I assume that after he is done with his young ladies; he gets up, does some yoga,hits the tanning beds, showers and then jels his hair. Then he prolly has one of his servants bring the woman some gourmet breakfast while he lines up the next supermodel. The fuck am I doing that compares to that.
But as far as Rod’s interest in the Keys. Rod the Bod could be Ike Turner dick rider number one. This wouldnt be the first time Rod wanted to dip into Ike Turner’s talent pool. Back in the 80’s Rod was wooing Tina Turner because he liked her “Hot Legs”.

Well, I guess its safe to tell the world now since its on Pitchfork.Dangermouse produced the new Black Keys record titled, Attack and Release. The album is due out April 1st on Nonesuch. No Ike Turner isn’t on it. Yes, its really good.
