From Old To Gold? Still Don't Know?

As we pointed out a couple weeks ago, The Raconteurs have launched a new YouTube channel asking fans to upload their "treasured keepsakes and thrift store finds." The band recently released their second From Old To Gold infomercial parody (see below), and because it takes me twice as long as the normal human-being to figure things out, I still don't know what The Raconteurs have up their sleeve.

At first I thought it might have something to do with a future music video, but The Raconteurs just released a video for, "Old Enough," which besides the word "old" has nothing to do with the infomercial parodies.

To confuse me even more, it's just been announced that The Raconteurs are doing a bluegrass remake of "Old Enough" with Ashley Monroe and Ricky Skaggs. Does that have anything to do with the From Old To Gold campaign? You got me.
