Today in Josh’s Big Box O CDs we featured?white blues duo The Black Keys. They’re from Akron, Ohio and recently toured as the opener for Radiohead. Right now they’re working on a project being produced by Danger Mouse (half of Gnarls Barkley) where they’ll be the back-up band for Ike Turner. Seriously. Pretty weird I know. They put out a pretty sweet album called Magic Potion this year, but my favourite is still Rubber Factory from 2004. They get compared to the White Stripes, and count Robert Plant,?Arctic Monkeys and Metallica among their fans. They were named one of the?10 Best Acts of 2003 by Rolling Stone magazine and appeared on the soundtrack to?School of Rock.?

The song I played is called 10 A.M. Automatic.
