I like The White Stripes but I think The Black Keys are better. Seven Nation Army is a fantastic song though but Little Black Submarine and Gold on the Ceiling are 2 of my favorite songs ever.
I've heard that about Kevn - and know people who know people too, and they say he is a good cat. He and DnC have mentored a lot of ATL bands too. My DnC thing is a taste and exposure thing. They were basically the "house band" at 96Rock in Atlanta when I was in HS. You couldn't go 30 minutes without hearing them, or them being in studio, or some promo going on about them. It got to the point where Kevn's voice started grating on my nerves because it was on the radio all the damn time. I get to State and "Fly me Courageous" comes out, and it hits big, and its DnC all the time everywhere I go. It was like Chinese water torture to my ears. Couple of years later at a U2 show, I got the chance to meet Pete Buck and Kinney was with him. Has a nice brief conversation with them, and got Pete's autograph, then and Pete says - "this is Kevn Kinney from DnC". I deadpanned "Hi Kevn, I can't stand your band." Kevn looked stunned and Pete just howls. I did follow that up with an explanation of my "burnout". 2nd most famous person I ever made laugh.

My Jack White/Black Keyes thing was a reference to Jack White feuding with Dan Auerbach. I like both.
