Gold On The Ceiling. Looks like most of you called it! No word that I can find on what the B side will be.

Ok, someone help me out here. Other than an actual 45 being pressed and released for purchase , what exactly is the point of releasing a single anyway? If it's radio play then i'm really confused because the local stations have been playing GOTC for a few weeks now.

Maybe it'll have an unreleased song as the B side... didn't they say they recorded 13 tracks?

I agree with you dusty, the idea of actually releasing a single seems bizarrely quaint nowadays

I dont listen to FM radio, down here in "the armpit", but I would be very, VERY surprised if I turned it on and heard GOTC. Especially since I read the other day that.the local Mod/Alt rock station has now been changed to!!?......... Wait for it...... Another Christian Rock station!

for a while i thought it would be "stop stop", mainly because at work, we listen to little steven's underground garage.... and they play it AT LEAST once an hour. i can hear the intro repeating in my head... "the album, 'El Camino'...the song, 'Stop Stop'... Please welcome to the underground garage stage... The Black Keys"

I'm well excited about the idea of another single on vinyl with something we haven't heard as the b side. Does no one else get excited about vinyls?

I think a lot of us get excited about vinyl. I do anyway. I'm simultaneously feeling encouraged, disgusted, excited and fearful about the possibility of a B side; track we haven't heard. But I also agree with Dusty up there re: purpose when a song is already getting airplay. Seems conflicted to me but then again I have been conflicted since the first single from El Camino was released.

Holy shit.. "does noone else get excited about vinyl?".. Dude.. I have a vinyl obsession that consistently gets me in "the doghouse". I cant wait for the next single to drop. If indeed, ya can actually call it. a "single". As was mentioned in the earlier posts'..
Nonetheless I would definitely like to hear a "proper" b-side. Hell, I kinda think if it didnt make the record, there is a good chance it may sound more along the lines of the old stuff. Maybe this unknown "b-side" wasnt up-tempo, or as mass-appealingly-friendly as the other tracks. In which case, I would love the shit out of it.

Was expressed earlier, I had hoped Sister would be it, mostly cause I wanted to cover it, but also cause that and a few other tracks on the album I think are better.

And yes - singles are retarded nowawadays anyway
