Hi guys - I know there a few other fans of The Black Keys on the Dope. I am a superfan! Attack and Release was SUCH a good album. I loved the Blakrok collaboration. So I have been eagerly awaiting their next release, Brothers… Comes out May 18th. Of course I wouldn’t post this thread yet if it weren’t for the fact you can STREAM THE WHOLE ALBUM RIGHT NOW through NPR!!! [Here’s the link…](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126607501&sc=fb&cc=fp) I’m halfway through the first listen. I will post back with some initial impressions later… Thoughts? Black Keys fans join in!!! ---

By the way, for more casual fans (or the uninitiated), try this link to their first single from the album: [Tighten Up.](http://www.musicvagabond.com/post/499614523/new-black-keys-tighten-up-watch-the-video) See what you think. By the way, I _love_ the transition around 2:30… If it doesn’t immediately grab you, at least listen until then… ---

I love the Black Keys. The first two cuts I’ve heard from their new album have been great. I also like their new ‘viral’ videos featuring Frank, the Funkasaurus: [Next Girl](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_PrT25o8Vs) [Tighten Up with Frank](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNXwicxlsvI&feature=channel) ---

I have a couple of their CDs and think they’re great. I haven’t heard any Blakrok but want to, nor the new CD… I gotta find more time to feed my music jones…
