Recently, some sweet music videos have been dropped. These aren't your typical "watch-'em-play-and-sing" playground deals---it's real.
The Black Keys' video for "Tighten Up" is hugely entertaining. Gotta love kids.
Broken Bells' Star Wars/Star Trek/ Battlestar Galactica-themed video features the "Sexiest Woman Alive" "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks, which adds on to its draw if James Mercer and Danger Mouse haven't enough sexy for you.

The Black Keys- "Howlin' For You", Brothers ALBUM LEAK
So The Black Keys' seventh album Brothers has leaked onto the omnipotent Internet, and while we at TWS cannot in good conscience give you the link, we encourage you to peep the shit out of it, because it does in fact rule. For an amuse-bouche, we offer "Howlin' For You", a neat bluesy stomp set up against Patrick Carney's thundering glam-rock backbeat. It features a funky call-and-response between a fuzzed-out bass and an Albert King-style guitar, with Dan Auerbach's vocals squealing over the top. Needless to say, the joint hits hard, and is a great rock workout in an album I think is one of the best in 2010 so far.
For: people who keep a steady diet of White Stripes and Jock Jams, with some hip-hop sensibilities for added spice.

Bringin' New Back: The Black Keys
After collaborating with the likes of ODB (look below), Raekwon, and Ludacris on the Blakroc project, the Black Keys are coming back with some new fire.
There's a new track out from their upcoming record, and it's a greasy, dirty, grimy, nasty piece of work. They show their Midwest blues colors, going traditional with it, throwing in some synthesized church organs along the way and keeping with the chords and licks method. The riffs are powerful, Dan Auerbach's vocals are soulfully biting, and they're still rollin'. Right before they exit the song, there is an epic final verse breakdown that is clearly the doings of producer Danger Mouse. A distorted Daft Punk-era-esque voice pops in and winds down, then they change the chord progression to a jumpy, staccato bang-bang-bang that is completely fitting for these heavyweights. Bam!
"Tighten Up" and you'll never be the same again.
Their sixth LP Brothers drops May 18th.
