'Bout time, the Fiery Furnaces are probably the best "duo" band out there. They got compared to the Stripes at first because they're pretty much a duo, but after Blueberry Boat they "proved" they were nothing like Jack and Meg (because they never really sounded like them anyway).

The Black Keys also kick ass, and the best thing is they are blues purists. Just simple music played loud. They don't need to be ironic or tongue-in-cheek about it (I'm looking at you, J. Spencer...), and they don't name-drop with their covers (yeah, Jack White is crazy covering Robert Johnson... but then again so was every '60's and '70's blues blues band... even Cream).

Only the Fiery Furnaces should be allowed to cover delta blues songs, because that'd rock. But they haven't done that... yet.

Btw...
Islands - Flesh
Islands - Abominable Snow

Soooo good...
