The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

It does not surprise me that the shorter member in the band has to much good taste to like this video.Did the tall individual in the band like it?
To bad they don't have control over their own videos. I think in general people see a band's video as part of the band's actual output.

And based on nappy's prior posts, the band has complete creative control. Draw your own conclusions.
I suppose I could have ducked this, but ever since the lengths post, I've had the feeling that I needed to confess that when I posted about TBK's 100% creative control, it was only about the music. I wasn't even thinking about videos. For me, they're a stupid marketing thing, and I NEVER think of them as part of the band's actual output.
So, I asked an unnamed source, and he told me that the shorter member of TBK HATES the video, that Nonesuch hates the video, and that it was put out by Warner's. The scroll at the bottom was added to appease the band, and is in fact how they feel about it.

Thank fucking god. (whichever god you pray to)

Seriously what a huge relief.

That's the best news I've heard all day.
So that settles it. The video is a joke and was not the band's idea and they don't dig it. All is well with the world.

so nappy are these the official vids then?? are the boys(both the short and the tall) gonna do another one when they get the time?? or is this it?

that really sucks that the band can't have an input on how there music is marketed in this way! not a reflection on the band just on the marketing side of things.
