A change of formula for the Black Keys
MUSIC
CHICAGO — "You guys are on a rocketship to the moon," comedy-show host Stephen Colbert recently told his guests, Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. Carney was stunned into silence, Auerbach laughed. For the boyhood friends from Akron, Ohio, it was a surreal punctuation point to a decade-long rise out of Midwestern obscurity into an international arena act.
MCGLATCHY TRIBUNE
"Colbert was telling us beforehand just to be ourselves," Auerbach said. "Don't try to be funny. You'll never be funnier than my character." But it was still pretty overwhelming. Pat was so nervous he couldn't even speak. Our first on-air TV interview was Colbert — that's just not fair, really."
If not quite a "rocketship to the moon," the Black Keys' career has certainly hit a new gear in recent years. Carney and Auerbach were packing large clubs and small theaters even before they had a song in regular rotation on commercial radio. After their single "Tighten Up" broke through in 2010, they've doubled their touring audience and are headlinering arenas in America for the first time. Auerbach isn't apologizing for graduating from the clubs into a realm where some of the band's original fans might have trouble recognizing them.
"We were so far removed from the music and entertainment industry." Auerbach said. "The idea of making something 'catchy' enough was just not in our vocabulary. We were just trying
When he and Carney started playing music together, they had no aspirations to get popular enough to ever play an arena, let alone get played on commercial radio.

to please ourselves. Weld make 10 or 12 songs, put them together and there's an album. It gave us a reason to go out and play more shows."
On the band's seventh and latest studio album, Auerbach and Carney tightened their relationship with Burton, bringing the producer into the songwriting process. It was a major departure for the duo, who had previously kept the songwriting completely in-house.
"Before 'Brothers' we were playing to 15,000 people in New York City, wed built ourselves up as big as you could without having a radio hit", Auerbach said. "So the next logical step was to push ourselves to see if we could write a catchy song, and we did. And we did it without compromising."
For their 2010 album, "Brothers," their attitude changed, in large part due to the influence of producer Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, with whom they recorded their breakthrough hit, "Tighten Up."

"It was difficult at times," Auerbach said. "Some days it worked great. Some days it was just infuriating. You gotta lose any kind of insecurity. It was a totally different way of thinking for me. This record was way more about melody and less about lyrical content. The lyrics had to fit into the little square we created for the melody. We didn't want to take a year making it, so I was coming up with lyrics that fit into the melody and doing it fast. For 'Brothers' (the band's previous album), all the lyrics were written ahead of time. It was more free flowing, not so strict on the melody side.

New evidence surfaces in high profile lawsuit
LOS ANGELES — A trial pitting the creator of "Desperate Housewives" against a former leading lady on the ABC soap delivered jurors one final plot twist Tuesday — a surprise whistleblower with a conspiracy theory about evidence destruction.
"I felt it wasn't intended for me, it wasn't my business," Michael Reinhart said of the message he received on his work computer shortly after Sheridan filed her 2010 wrongful termination suit against the show's creator, Marc Cherry, and Touchstone Television Productions.
"Under the law, (battery) is worth $1," Baute said.
Reinhart said he deleted the message immediately, but was troubled by its content and contacted a lawyer for Sheridan as her trial nailed its end.
The witness, a construction coordinator responsible for building the show's Wisteria Lane sets, said he had been copied accidentally on an email that discussed wiping computer hard drives clean of information about actress Nicolelle Sheridan.
"I was trying to bring the truth out," he said.
Jurors had been scheduled to hear closing arguments and Reinhart's testimony sent a ripple of excitement through the packed courtroom. A defense lawyer argued strenuously against allowing him to take the stand, telling the judge what Reinhart saw was likely a memorandum ordering employees to preserve all their electronic records for the case, not to destroy them.
Superior Court Judge Elizabeth White said it was up to the jury to decide the significance of Reinhart's testimony, but said outside the presence of jurors. "I admit he appears to be confused."
On cross-examination, defense lawyer Adam Levin asked, "Is it possible you misunderstood the email?"
"Yes, it's possible." Reinhart replied, saying he could not remember the specific language of the message.
He also testified that Sheridan's lead attorney, Mark Baute, had promised to find him work after he voiced concerns that he was committing "professional suicide" by testifying against his employers.
Both sides said they would forensic examiners to look at Reinhart's hard drive, but the judge said she wanted to keep the case on schedule and hoped jurors would begin deliberations Tuesday or Wednesday.
"He said, 'What if I get you a job if you testfv?' he said.
Outside the courtroom, Baute disputed that testimony, saying he never made such a comment.
When the jury does get the case, it will have one less issue to decide. The judge threw out Sheridan's battery claim saying there was not enough evidence to support it. Outside court, Sheridan's lawyer downplayed the development.
Jurors must still decide whether Cherry's decision to kill off Sheridan's character, Edie Britt, was retaliation for an on-set incident in which she accused him of striking her in the head.
