black (photo by ME, while driving, click to see bigger)

So last night, I had some weird dream that I met the Black Keys at some old woman’s house, who just happened to be a PR woman. I can’t explain more cause it would make me seem insane. But here are some bands who have BLACK in the name. Why? Stop questioning and just listen.

After doing this, I can’t believe how many bands have BLACK in their name. Ill even post more up tomorrow or Monday. (I know, Sabbath and more..)

Black Train Jack - Time .

Black Moon - Gotcha Opin

The Black Angels - Black Grease

Black Lips - Buried Alive

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Sun Lips

Black Flag - Rise Above

The Black Heart Procession - Heart Like Mine

Black Mountain - Bicycle Man

The Black Keys - Heavy Soul (Alt Version)
