Hello,everyone.Yes,it is once again time for your favorite game show...'Time To Ketchup':
First off,I finally got the Black Keys new CD,'Magic Potion' in the mail.Alas,it arrived unsigned.The music was recorded in guitarist,Dan Auerbach's basement in a process the band has referred to as,'medium fidelity'.This in itself is a refreshing fact in the era of slick over produced albums.While the Cd may not have a 'single' as catchy as,'10am Automatic' or 'Thickfreakness',I feel on a whole,this is their most totally listenable CD.No doubt about it,this is one good rock/blues power duo.If I were to compare them to a popular band,I would have to say they were more like ZZ-Top then Led Zeppelin,but their music is not so much about the beat,as the motion.Yes,some people compare them to,'The white Stripes',and for the most part,that is a valid comparison.Yippee!They are touring.Tickets for their Columbus show go on sale tomorrow!
Some of you have asked about Tyler's pop can backpacking stoves.You can get instructions on how to make them all over the Internet,so instead of giving a site to go to,I'll leave that up to you.These light,little stoves are most excellent for boiling up a cup of water....Ramen noodles,instant soups,coffee etc can then be added.These stoves are run on very little denatured alcohol...A word of warning,these flames are very hard to see in daylight.
Finally,welcome to fall.Today is the first day of autumn:-)

Hey Drew! I think two of your pics for this post are missing. All I get for them is little red x's. I love the shot of the pop can stove at night, though! Very celestial!
