Idolator
Indie blues dudes the Black Keys are tentatively down with the idea of doing a collabo with Naugahyde-y, septuagenarian-beloved crooner Rod Stewart after the sixtysomething made eyes at them during a recent interview. We'd say the Keys better hurry up before they miss their window of opportunity, but of course, Rod Stewart is never going to die, at least so long as there are further installments of The Great American Songbook to be flogged. [In Brief: Potentially (Really) Wonky Collaboration Ideas
The Black Keys, the blues-rock/country-punk/hyphenated-something duo from Ohio, have agreed to let Danger Mouse ride the faders on their 2008 album. Well, he may have finally found a group (other than Sparklehorse) whose fidelity choices might fit the muted sketches and scribbles that he's now a beloved pop phenomenon for, but I bet the drums still sound like damp feathers slapping together. Meanwhile, the Killers were conveniently in the studio with Lou Reed at precisely the moment MTV came calling for an interview. Perhaps this means Lou will now grow a weasely little moustache and/or develop a penchant for ugly cowboy togs and Brandon will take up tai chi and/or develop a penchant for heroin? Both of 'em already have a history of combative, incomprehensible interviews, at least.Danger Mouse Joins Forces With Black Keys [NME]
