have love, will travel

i don't dance, but when i do...

it's to something like this:

i used to make fun of the beatlemania generation and all the crying, quivering girls in the front rows screaming and fainting because they were in the presence of four men from liverpool (read: in the presence of greatness).

but i finally get it. last wednesday i was in the presence of, what i believe to be, modern day greatness (read: two men from akron, oh). The Black Keys.

july 6th, 2011 i attended the best concert i've ever been too. the combination of the venue (summerfest marcus amphitheater), the opening act (florence + the machine), the crowd, the company and the music made it an experience i will never forget. in the last 2 months their entire discography has been on constant repeat and i could not be happier. they have abruptly crashed their way into my top 5 favorite artists of all time. that's right... top FIVE. declaring to other artists privy enough to be in such high standing (sufjan stevens, ray lamontagne, and the decemberists) "what up, we're here now. deal with it." the jump into my top five escalated quickly. it was bold move, but i wouldn't expect anything less from those men.

i suggest you buy their entire music library

but if you're only going to by one album...
