new video BLACK KEYS

VIDEODROME SERIES: We continue our look at new music videos. Today we take at one of my favorite American acts: The Black Keys. If you don't know these guys, please watch the video and then head down to the record store of choice and pick up their albums. This is one of the best live acts going right now - and most importantly during these tough financial times: their records are worth every penny you pay for them.
