Atlanta's Black Lips like to portray themselves as don't-give-a-fuck party-rockers dancing on the edge of the abyss, the kind of band that puts on chaotic shows in underground Tijuana and gets run out of the second most populous nation on Earth (er...). But the funny thing about all that is how simple and approachable their music is on record. "Short Fuse", a single from their new one 200 Million Thousand (and which debuted today on KEXP) is a hair quicker than mid-tempo, with a cheap jangly guitar playing a simple riff, doubled voices hitting something close to harmony, and a boogie-with-Stu-type piano break to keep the rollicking tune moving forward. There's nothing too crazy going on here, in other words. "Don't light me up because I've got a short fuse," they sing, but they don't really want you to keep your distance-- you get the idea that they enjoy mixing it up just for a laugh and no one is going to get hurt.MP3:> Black Lips: "Short Fuse"[from 200 Million Thousand; due 02/24/09 on Vice]
