Buick, Neon Trees, Kimmel and "Everybody Talks"

Buick was the car your grandpa drove.  Get in the Buick go on down to the Sears and get a pair of pants.  Safe, dependable and boring.

The Neon Trees are featured in an ad for Buick in celebration of their new sound system.  When I first saw this commercial I nearly hurled.  They look obnoxious and 'wanna be' cool.  Buick is wanting an image change..why chose a boring safe band?

So that was my first impression.  A giant bag of indifference if not borderline disgust. God  how I hate the hipsters.

Til this.  A found a video of The Neon Trees performance on Jimmy Kimmel and suddenly, like some odd cosmic flux.  They looked cool. I will admit that "EvrubuddAYY TaWWKS" is annoying as hell but the band- why the band is smokin hot!  I say do something with that guy and tell him to tone down the Steve Perry inflections and heck I may dig this stuff!

Ok, so the Prince suit is bothersome and the drummer looks like a Go Go but hey.. I no longer hate.
