I haven't flipped in a while for an album like I have for The White Stripes' White Blood Cells. It has been buried in my CD player since I got it. Gets better every time I listen to it.
I caught them on MTV about a month ago (the video for Fell In Love with a Girl... the one with the legos). Liked the song, hit the P2P sites and downloaded a bunch of songs. Liked what I heard, so I tore off to the local CD shop to pick up a copy of the CD. REALLY liked what I heard, so I went to check out tour info. Perfect... coming to Boston. BLAH! Sold out! Oh, wait... Providence! Still tickets!
So a couple of weeks ago, I hit the show at Lupo's in Providence. Amazingly fun. Jack's voice was bummin' (he apologized several times), but it really didn't matter. Very high energy show. Enthusiastic crowd. Really good music. Jack and Meg impressed me a lot live... I think they've played together for a VERY long time. Wicked tight. They really have a good feel for each other musically.
So since then, I haven't stopped listening to White Blood Cells. I hear they'll be back in the studio soon working on another one. I can't wait.
In the meantime, they've got a bunch more shows coming up (mostly west coast), and I hightly recommend checking them out.
