Post by: vegkitkat on 02 Aug 2006, 16:16: This is why I love Ok Go. The dancing, the amazing, amazing dancing.

The video for A Million Ways is filled with this amazingness too. Seeing them dance to A Million Ways live is possibly the highlight of my concert-going experiences. I couldn't stop smiling.

Post by: vegkitkat on 02 Aug 2006, 17:54: Ok Go will also tell you everything you need to know about ping pong (table tennis). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z57W0g1TRo&search=ok%20go)

Remember to breathe. Not breathing can cause you to die...Classic.

I know it's an incrediblely stupid joke. But Goddamnit I've been waiting six months for a chance to use it!

Post by: Aphi on 03 Aug 2006, 11:18: Hmm... does awesome grow on a bush, a tree, or a vine? or underground?

I was GOING to say something along the lines of 'that there awesome is so PURE, it's straight off the bush/tree/vine!'

Incidentally, I think that dance contest thing was very cool of them.

I like the girl in the ballet dress!

Post by: Hairy Joe Bob on 03 Aug 2006, 11:20: I like that Ok Go song "Get Over It". I saw that played live. It kicked ass.

Post by: strawberry_gashes on 24 Aug 2006, 12:25: This geometry teacher at our school loves OK Go (as do I!) and on the day of math finals, all the kids in one of his classes wore home made OK shirts.. it was great!

Post by: vegkitkat on 24 Aug 2006, 18:29: Damian Kulash (lead singer) was on The Colbert Report last night. It was quite awesome. The dance videos were brought up, and I was happy.

Post by: EvilBit on 25 Aug 2006, 15:35: Yeah? Well I saw them before they were popular! So there!

Seriously though, they rocked my face off back when I saw them live. They were literally the first opening band that ever impressed the hell out of me. They were opening for TMBG and kicked off with a damn good cover of Crimson and Clover, eventually winding their way through a cover of Kiss Me, Son of God, which (for those who don't know) is a TMBG song. Ballsy but brilliant.

The second time I saw them, they had a tune-up break and decided to do some a capella singing to keep us amused. They ended up doing a duet of my favorite song from Les Miserables. You can't rock much harder than that.

Post by: Skibas_clavicle on 25 Aug 2006, 15:40: Their first cd was one of the first "indie-rock"-esque sounding cds I bought. It's not a bad cd but I lost it long ago. It's got some great song on it like You're So Damn Hot, Get Over It and The Fix Is In. I think their sounds changed a bit though over the years.

Post by: Slick on 25 Aug 2006, 16:10: Them and their silly live dancing is quite amazing. Best opening act I've ever seen, I'd go see them headline.

How about going from songs about super-heroins who broke his heart to "If evil were a lesser bread than justice after all these years, righteous would long ago of cleansed the world of sin"? This band I like.

Post by: octozombie on 01 Oct 2006, 14:21: I saw that video on FUSE.
Hahaha ew.

Anyways oooh wow. Best video ever.
And I love this band ever so.
Title: Re: I Heart OK Go
Post by: Johnny C on 01 Oct 2006, 14:46: OK Go are in fact pretty rad. I didn't buy the album but "Get Over It" was one of the first indie-esque songs I ever heard, and definitely the first song I ever heard that I'd call "power-pop." Hooray for them and their silly dances.

Post by: messynessie on 01 Oct 2006, 17:40: i bought oh no about a month ago and i haven't stopped listening to it since!!! i love the dance vids!!!
Title: Re: I Heart OK Go
Post by: chamberk on 02 Oct 2006, 23:48: These guys are rad. Amusingly enough, a generic buttrock band called Hinder has decided to have a personal vendetta against them because of the fact that they dance in their music videos. "THAT'S NOT ROCK AND ROLL!" Hinder snarls, and I laugh.
Title: Re: I Heart OK Go
Post by: Storm Rider on 02 Oct 2006, 23:54: Am I the only person who thinks whether or not they dance should be totally irrelevant to the quality of their music?
Title: Re: I Heart OK Go
Post by: Lines on 03 Oct 2006, 06:16: i thought their music was fantastic before i even saw the videos. i think the dancing just makes me like them more because they have a sense of humor.

they are going to be here next saturday and i am going to see them play! eee!
Title: Re: I Heart OK Go
Post by: Thrillho on 03 Oct 2006, 07:35: Get Over It is still a good song. I still hate the rest of their material, and that video is still nothing better than any pop choreographer has made Britney Spears do onstage.

Hey man. Hinder are an authentically awful band. Let them enjoy their serious authenticity.

Storm, we're basically just giving praise for some good music videos. The clips are high-energy, endearing and well suited to the songs.
