Sneak peaks suck

Today, I watched the sneak peak of the next half of The Walking Dead: season 2. In said clip, two male characters walk into a bar occupied by Rick and Hershel , and say, "Goddamn, you're alive." Rick and Hershel then look at each other like they've seen a ghost.

The obvious implication is that the new guys are from Rick or Hershel's past, and that they are characters we think to be dead. I'm here to argue that this isn't so.

I've read the graphic novels which the series was based on, and new characters are introduced out of nowhere all the time, so my guess is that these two new guys walking into the bar aren't old fan favorites back from the dead, but entirely new characters, and by "goddamn, you're alive," they actually meant, "They're not zombies, but regular people."

This of course means that the sneak peak was intensionally misleading.

Which is why they suck

I'm not saying that the next half of season 2 isn't going to be amazing, I just wish they would be honest with us.

For good measure, here's the link.

the fretless bass reviews: El Camino by The Black Keys

Over vacation, my brother gave me the Black Keys album: Attack And Release. It's awesome, but that's a different article. Because I enjoyed my present so much, I bought their latest album, El Camino, and it's review worthy.

El Camino is the Black Keys seventh studio album, and it is alternative at its best. The Black Keys are famous for their blues-rock fusion that they do so well, but I feel like this is the first album where the style reached it's full potential. The first song that serves as evidence for this claim is the first on the album, "Lonely Boy," which starts out with a hard rock guitar riff, and balances itself out with a pop oriented anthem. The next song on the album is "Gold on the Ceiling." This song exhibits the Black Key's classic repeated guitar riff style similar to a previous hit, "Holwin' for You." And finally, one of my personal favorites, "Run Right Back," which has an almost childish guitar anthem to start, but finishes with a great bluesy feel.

Interestingly enough, the car on the cover of the album isn't the "El Camino" Ford model, which sums up the album nicely, it's not what you expect from the Black Keys, it's better. They took their iconic style and milked it for everything it was worth, and it's worth about 10.99 on I-tunes.
