Ginger over at GReads! is doing something special this month: playlists based on books. This week I've picked Sinister Kid by The Black Keys to represent Todd Hewitt from The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and the Answer (I have yet to read Monsters of Men).
Not only are The Black Keys a great band; I think Todd would actually listen to them.
I have a weird relationship with the Black Keys. When they first popped up on my radar, they came off to me with that "I'm too cool to associate with indie bands" attitude. But now.. they're one of the most "trendy" indie bands. Sigh.
Im seeing the Black Keys next month in concert!!! Ok I will admit I am actually going to see the Arctic Monkeys again, but I get the added bonus of seeing this great band

ReplyDeleteI love the Arctic Monkeys (I think you know this, but it just needs to be repeated).
DeleteTHIS BAND. I love them. Great for jamming out :D
ReplyDeleteA tortured mind and sharp blade are perfect for Todd. I love him. See if you would still choose this one after you finish Monsters of Men. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteAlso I like this band. They're so hipstercool.
Deal. Next week = me with Monsters of Men.
DeleteYes forever to The Black Keys. I listen to them weekly at minimum.
ReplyDeleteOf course yes forever to Todd Hewitt as well. Get on that MoM train, yo.
I'm on it next week.
DeleteHave not read this book. Or heard this band. Both are on my list now!
ReplyDeleteThe Knife of Never Letting go is a wonderful book--and a great series (although I haven't read Monsters of Men yet).
DeleteI just started listening to The Black Keys not too long ago but I have grown to really like them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYES! I completely agree with your assessment. And now I am off to listen to "Howlin' for you."
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Black Keys! I have yet to read this series, but I have no doubt you've nailed the book/song match. Thanks!
