Lovelovelove this album.  Wish they were coming to Tampa so I could see them.

Well you impress me so completely.
I start obsessing to hear from you.
Whatever you do,
You do sweetly
It takes a lot to not take from you.

You're not secure enough to tell me,
Your first impression of all these clowns.
So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
To take the lead and to speak out loud.

Speak to me and don't speak softly.
Talk to me and let me know.
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me.
Grab hold and do not let go.
- Raconteurs, "These Stones Will Shout"

They have a new album coming out this year. I'm excited.

I got a rabbit
It likes to hop.
I got a girlfriend
She likes to shop.
The other foot looks like it won't drop.
I had an uncle and he got shot.

Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
Are you part of this khakistocracy

This ringing in my ears won't stop.
I've got a red Japanese tea-pot.
I've got a pen but I lost the top.
I've got so many things you haven't got.

This fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary.
- The Raconteurs, "Intimate Secretary"
