Safe As Milk

The Black Keys - I'm Glad.

For the Black Keys this song is like walking into a thrift store and finding a shirt that fits like a glove. A straightforward but smoking cover of this Captain Beefheart jam works pretty much perfectly for them. There's a thin layer of fuzz that makes you forget it was literally recorded yesterday. And somehow I believe them, just as I believed Beefheart when I first heard it.

I can only hope they share more tracks from this session, because hot dam this one's fine.

Have a good weekend. I'll see you around.

I enjoyed that Captain Beefheart cover, then i checked out the comments left from that Gerard guy and despite the douchebaggery of the post, the guy was basically right, that band HTR is pretty damn good!
