Once upon a time...
The Last Shadow Puppets grew a Black Plant, Foals plundered Black Gold, Arcade Fire cast the same reflection as a Black Mirror, Alannah Myles wore Black Velvet, Paul Weller dangled a rod in a Black River, Local Natives found a Black Spot, The Darkness owned a Black Shuck, Kings of Leon painted a Black Thumbnail, Tindersticks choked on Black Smoke, Death Cab for Cutie watched the Black Sun rise, Jamiroquai squawked like a Black Crow, The Replacements stole a Black Diamond, Dirty Three let the Black Tide gently wash over them, Led Zeppelin took their Black Dog for walkies, Ram Jam resisted the temptation to take Black Betty, Soundgarden and Ben Harper were caught in Black Rain, Aqualung disappeared inside a Black Hole, Massive Attack guzzled Black Milk for supper, Beck shook a Black Tambourine, Deep Purple basked in the tranquility of a Black Night, Wilco appreciated how the Black Moon shone, Gay Dad are haunted by a Black Ghost, The Raveonettes revelled in Black Satin, Babybird picked Black Flowers, Ben Howard swatted Black Flies, Arctic Monkeys waded through Black Treacle, Biffy Clyro swung from a Black Chandelier, Cherry Ghost felt the nip of Black Fang, Magnum soared through Black Skies, Janet Jackson stroked her Black Cat, The Shins rode a Black Wave, Goo Goo Dolls and The Kills popped a Black Balloon, Leftfield played a Black Flute, The Hives lost a mint bluffing at Black Jack, Soundgarden only tour on a Black Saturday, Kids in Glass Houses and Morrissey couldn't lose the persistence of a Black Cloud, Aztec Camera took an instant shine to Black Lucia, The Vines slayed a Black Dragon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs sacrificed a Black Tongue, Little Mix and Jarvis Cocker weaved Black Magic, Shinedown drove a Black Cadillac and Beach House pulled up in their Black Car.
The end.
