Rhett uses the Flat Duo Jets jibe about every guitar/drums duo. White Stripes, the Kills, Black Keys, etc…
I wonder if he stopped listening to alt-country when he realized that (pick one) Uncle Tupelo, Gram Parsons, The Eagles, did the same schtick years ago.

wow, are you guys serious about seeing this band, once or even twice?
what they need is an additional musician…they sound rather flat. they sound like hmmm, a poor man's BB King. oh, they need some hooks and maybe a better singer! that's important!
I hope you stub your toe so hard you get the aids.

Yes, saw them at Arthur Fest. They played forever. It was so unbearable that I almost to punched the people next to me. Their songs sound the same and I couldn't even remember anything but endless riffs and riffs. So there.

maybe we're jealous that they're better than the white stripes?
Stick with what you know. Meg White is the perfect complement to Jack White. Their chemistry far exceeds any technical limitations of her playing,

why would Tessie Brunet want to leave an awesome band for an average (white) band, you know, besides money

hey, that's the festival i was talking about! i thought the black keys were excellent. did you catch sleater-kinney and sonic youth afterwards? sleater kinney was awesome. too bad about all the sound problems with sonic youth though. what was unbearable about that day was like the 1 hour wait in between bands. i'm never going to that festival again.

what is your fascination with california?
I don't even live there. If you are too jealous of californians, maybe you should move there and be one.

There was a sound problem all day on the main stage. I thought the festival was good overall but it was hard to get blown away by SK and SY on a festival setting but they were still good that day. DOS (Mike Watt + Kira) were amazing and so was Nora Keyes. I don't think they had that festival this year.
