Video: Black Lips: "Treat Me Like a Man" / "Everybody's Doing It" (Live on the "Take Away Show")
I'm not convinced that the unplugged campfire sing-along is the right format for Black Lips, but there is I suppose a certain charm in this ramshackle pair of performances for La Blogothèque's "Take Away Show". Absent the partying-at-the-edge- of-the-volcano intensity they brought to releases like the live album Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo, with the tempos slowed and the amplifiers switched off, the Atlanta garage-rockers sound kind of like your roommate and his buddies trying out a few tunes in the living room after pouring down a 12-pack of Old Style. Which ain't all bad.
