I'm not all that into the Black Lips, not enough to know anything about them other than they're from Georgia, use guitars well and don't seem to take themselves very seriousy. I don't even know if they're still together. I don't care. This is listening at its lamest. I've never pulled apart a single song or read a bio. I just click on their stuff when I see it and go about my day. That all said, random sampling over the last ten years or so have shown a trend of not sucking and, more to the point, caring only a fraction of a fuck, if that.
Here's a couple songs I ran into from an old post of someone's Best of 2007 list. A ten year old post still spreading the love. The video clip is of a couple of them being interviewed by a local TV station a few weeks ago here in San Diego. There's only a couple of them and they seem a little too goofy for that early in the morning. They may very well be drunk. The interviewer doesn't seem all that flustered or pissed. She could even be thinking "If these were the Rolling Stones I'd put up with it" because she doesn't know who the fuck the Black Lips are. For all she knows they could be as big as the Stones.
