New Black Keys' Video: "Gold On The Ceiling"

When it comes to their music or otherwise, The Black Keys can be a divisive band around these parts. Evidence of this being shown by Paq's previous post on the group.

I, however, am diggin' the quality of their new video for 2nd single "Gold On The Ceiling," taken from their latest LP El Camino.

I can't tell you the last music video that I've actually liked.  I almost feel like the music video is a dead artform.  In fact, despite being a fan of their studio albums and live shows, I've never really enjoyed The Keys' previous videos either. To me, they have this certain awkward clumsiness to them that I'm just not feelin'.

But this latest clip focuses mostly on the band in live performance; a good portion of it is footage taken from their record release show at Webster Hall in NYC earlier this year.

It's so interesting to see a band hit a point in their career when it dawns on them that "hey, we're gettin' pretty big now, aren't we?" and I think this video captures that feeling.

Congrats to Canadian Chef Chuck Hughes for claiming victory against New York City culinary king Bobby Flay on Sunday night's episode of Iron Chef America: The Series.

The two chefs waged war against one another to determine who could dazzle the judges with their cooking prowess, working with the chosen secret ingredient:  Canadian Lobster.

Hughes impressed the panel of judges with his creativity on all 5 of the required dishes, including his take on a Canadian classic ... Lobster Poutine.

After he was declared the winner, Hughes stated "This really is a dream come true for me.  It was one of the most intense challenges of my life, and I'm so proud to represent Quebec and Canada as a winning Iron Chef."

When he's not busy kicking ass on televised cooking competitions, Hughes can be found running the show at his Old Montreal restaurant, Garde Manger.
