Google: "These Go to Eleven"

We just got word from Google of an Android-themed event next week, with little more than the words "These Go to Eleven" right up top -- a reference to a phrase from the 1984 mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. To top things off, the email came from "Nigel Tufnel," Christopher Guest's character from the film.
Loved that film.

Never seen the film now I'm going to have to look it up on Netflix.

[UPDATE]
It appears it's related to Google Music, there where some rumors that Google was releasing a music store.

Google Music likely to be announced at "These Go to Eleven" event

@ =X= The reference scene starts about 22 minutes in.

Why don't you make ten louder, and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Oh my goodness. I love that scene. The uneasy pause after that question is asked makes me giggle every time. "These go to eleven!"

Ha ha got to love the fact Google has a sense of humor.

Here is the video on you tube for those like me who have never seen the movie.
