I can say without a doubt that this is an album that changed my perspective of music. Like any other fan of The Black Keys, I downloaded and listened to the whole thing within the first hour, and gladly added it to my collection of other Indie music. There it sat, waiting, probably knowing the impact it would have later, and enjoyed my sweeps when I grazed over it to hear my favorite tracks. It didn't loudly force its way into my top fifteen artists like Spoon had, it quietly nudged; it slowly made its way there (through a system I had created, I discovered The Black Keys were the second most listened to band on my iPod). Spoon had made number one because I was told they were the best; The Black Keys made number two because I liked their music on my own. I don't want to bog this post in the personal issues attached to it all, I just want to let The Black Keys know they rock.

Now that I am no longer busy with school, I have been devoting my time to the internet and my job, and I expect a few hours here and there this week and next week, so I'll have a nice wad of cash for the summer. Of course I'll be saving half that for books next semester, which will be supplemented by the money I get for selling the books I already own. My piggy bank must have something in it, and I've been meaning to bust it open. In short, money runs the world.

That is all.

Yes, yes, I know. It's been over a month since anything happened here. Guess what? I'm in college, and I don't have time to keep this thing up when finals are fast approaching. So, I just dropped by to say that I was returning this week, and will be back to regular updates starting May 2010.

That is all.
