Thank you, ScionA/V

Very cool... many thanks...

I bet the car company itself has very little to do with it. It's marketing, and whoever their marketing agency is (I think it's ATTIK or Rogers and Cowan) most likely came up with the whole plan/strategy to conquer the young, trendsetting hipster market (think 18-24 year olds) by getting them involved with Vice, and Vice just happens to be vesting a lot of promotion into garage rock these days. Scion has done some pretty unique things in marketing its brand that other car makers haven't tried. Watch the video on this article to see what I mean.

Yep, downloaded mine a couple of weeks ago...Ha, sorry I didn't post something about it on here (Thanks Steve). There's also a free download from King Khan on there too! I was really impressed with Scion's music site, but honestly haven't had the time to check out their online 'zine. Very cool (and odd) that a car company would put this much effort and support into music, though, but I'm not complaining at all! Hopefully I'll make one of their garage musicfests one day (granted they continue to do one every year).

King Khan! Fuck a duck, I'm downloading now!

I've posted in here before that I saw a free Scion show in New York last year -- Kid Congo Powers with Hux & His Punx. The weird thing is, I'd just bought my airplane tickets when I got this email hyping the show.

(Here's a video from that.

I think the person who taped this was standing just to my left)

So good. Listened to Watching My baby straight away, always loved that song. Fuck it, the guy can do no wrong.

.....Wow...really great tunes! Thanks Steve! I'm a big fan of this band. To me they are the modern-day Lyres!

OMFG!!! Clicking the shit out of my click device now!!!
