I'm sure you, like me, have had the experience where you come across an album that you just can't stop listening to, not because it sounds great, but because the music just draws you in. This doesn't happen to me very often nowadays (it used to happen so often when I was a student all those years ago). Well, it happened last night. And the album, which I happen to be listening to right now, is...

'Brothers', by 'The Black Keys'.

Just wanted to share...

Hey Mani,

Thanks for that info. I'd never heard of them. So I went to check them out. (By the way, do you know about Emusic.com? Check them out if you don't, great for checking out songs, instant gratification, cheap and a they have fairly wide selection, good mp3 quality to boot. If you can't abide mp3 at all then of course don't bother, but if you can, it's a great place. You can download a couple of tracks for about 50 cents per, and then if you like them either buy the cd elsewhere or download the whole album)

Anyway, they don't have the Black Key's current release, but they do have others of which I downloaded a few tracks. They sound very interesting.
