If you glanced up from devouring your buffalo wings on Sunday you may have caught a glimpse of who you could have sworn was OK Go in a Chevy ad. You were right. (About the wings and the sighting.) Here is the full video and it packs way more punch then a Super Bowl game. PLUS: no stunt doubles! Way to keep upping your game OK Go! And thanks, I guess, to Chevy.

all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be If you follow TBE on Facebook or Twitter then you know I caught Capital Cities on Monday. If you follow TBE in any way then you know that makes me a lucky man. They tore the house down and then built the whole thing back up just to tear it down again. On a Monday!

happiness exists when you don't know a thing, so i hope you don't think this song is about you ♫ The Weeknd - Montreal MJ lives & is even more fucked up than we thought.
