Dan Auerbach - Keep it Hid

Dan Auerbach's first solo release "Keep it Hid" isn't worlds apart from his work with bandmate Patrick Carney on many Black Keys Albums, but has something extra that makes it stand out. Receiving mixed reviews, I give full praise to Keep It Hid" for its bluesy sound and feel, which works well with Auerbach's raspy voice. Songs to keep an ear out for, in my opinion, are: Whispered Words, I want Some More, Mean Monsoon, and When I Left The Room. If you like The Black Keys, their sound and style, if you lean towards a more rock/blues sound rather than pop, and songs with good lyrics, check out Keep it Hid.

Reviews:
Me - 4.5/5
NOW Magazine - 5/5
The Onion - 4.5/5
Billboard - 4/5
Spin - 3.5/5
Pitchfork - 3/5

The last two are a little harsh I think. Enjoy.

saw this poster and was immediately interested. watched the trailer and wasn't blown away but it looked good enough to check out. a couple of warning signs, though: its similarities to 2001 worry me and so does the prospect of having to sit through 2hrs of kevin spacey doing a shitty HAL impression. also, the guy who directed it looks like a bit of a doucher despite being david bowie's son. watch the trailer:

this is cool

sweet electronic jam from a little cute girl

a goat yelling like a man

this made me laugh a lot:

zombie heaven

Watchmen 5-disk Limited Edition DVD coming out in December 2009 (which will only be available to buy up until 6/2010). This dvd includes the cut of the movie with the Black Freighter/Hollis Mason stuff mixed in and I think it said with even more footage. It's also going to include Zach Snyder & Dave Gibbons commentary. And it's also going to include the Motion Comic DVD. I'm assuming it's going to include the theatrical cut too.
