Concert review: The Black Keys? It was more like the Low Keys at Grandstand opener

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:45:52 GMT

Do the Black Keys still want to be the Black Keys?That was one takeaway from the Ohio blues rock duo’s opening night performance Thursday at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand in front of a crowd of 6,621. Much like their previous two local shows, Target Center gigs in 2014 and 2019, guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney turned in a solid, but utterly unspectacular, performance that sped by in a mere 80 minutes. Auerbach produced monster riff after monster riff, while Carney pounded the drums with impressive force and skill. Problem is, they did so with little excitement, let alone any real soul.The pair spent their first 15 years together knocking out records, touring heavily and eventually catching the ear of rock radio, which turned the likes of “Tighten Up,” “Lonely Boy” and “Gold on the Ceiling” into big hits. And, yup, all three made Thursday’s set list. They took a much-needed hiatus in 2015, but felt tired when they returned to action in 201...

Some birds may be less afraid of humans after pandemic, study suggests

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:45:52 GMT

A new study from UCLA has found that some urban birds may actually be less afraid of people following the coronavirus pandemic that saw millions of Americans spending more time indoors and less time in crowded public squares.The findings came as a shock to UCLA researchers who expected the opposite to be true. The researchers initially theorized that the return of humans into the public space would scare off birds that had grown accustomed to having it for themselves.The study involved dark-eyed juncos, which have thrived on the campus of UCLA for around 20 years. Scientists have been studying fear and aggression in the campus birds for several years, dating back to several years before the pandemic.When cases COVID-19 swept across the world and led to a shift in education, prompting most universities to switch to online instruction, the number of people on UCLA's campus dropped significantly. The nearly empty campus gave researchers a unique chance to study the behavior of the bird...
