Last night, I went to see The Black Keys play live here in Austin. They killed it. But, more importantly, they owe me money. Why? Well, as many of you will remember, when I reviewed El Camino right here on this blog, I mentioned that my favorite track on the album was ‘Gold On The Ceiling’. I also mentioned that I thought that song should be playing while I was involved in some sort of a car chase. Low and behold, last night, as they played ‘Gold On The Ceiling’ they showed a car chase on the screen behind them. Well, it was less of a car chase and more of just a speeding car, but I still believe I am owed compensation. I expect my money forthwith. And yes, yes I do understand that I am only validating the lyrics to their song because, hell yeah, I want some of their “gold on the ceiling”.
By the by, The Black Keys really were absolutely stellar last night and if any band had to steal my idea for a video based on their music, I’m glad it was them.
you always make me miss austin when you write about it!
go get yours!
I love it here so much!

Hahaha!
The Black Keys are great! Or at least I thought so until they started stealing your ideas.
They’re still great. They just need to pay up.
Afraid I cannot help with current delema, but I’m passing on the ABC Award your way….worth so much more than $ ! http://nonstepmom.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/do-re-mi-a-b-c-1-2-3-baby-you-and-me/
Thank you so much!
I always create music videos in my head for songs I really dig. Maybe we missed our callings as music video directors??
Perhaps. I have a feeling we would have been really good at that.
You are most deserving of some of their gold – but I’m not sure anyone who is reading this is going to be able to fulfill that entitlement my friend. But deserving? No doubt!!
You never know.
Hehe – they obviously read your blog!
Obviously.
You always give me the best to read @ my really tired and odd moments. Pleeeeease go for your money. Haha. Its rightfully yours
Thanks! I appreciate that!
