Joao Joaquim | Blog http://joaojoaquim.com/blog The blog of web designer João Joaquim Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:17:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 It’s all about the keys http://joaojoaquim.com/blog/its-all-about-the-keys/ http://joaojoaquim.com/blog/its-all-about-the-keys/#comments Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:17:12 +0000 JJ http://joaojoaquim.com/blog/?p=2331 This week got off on the right foot for the portuguese people: The Black Keys confirmed their first show on portuguese soil.
As a fan of the band, I couldn’t be more exciting about it. After the announcement I started digging even deeper into The Black Keys history. As a result I found out this brilliant show they had in Austin at Emo’s back in ’03. BK are known for their raw sound and this video sure captures that rawness in full. A must watch.

Lately I’ve been posting more actively on Pinterest, you might have heard of it: the new social network where photo sharing/organization is the motto.
