OK GO - THE VIDEOS We've never covered OK GO on The Recommender before. The main reason is that their music is a bit shit. Oh alright, that's a little harsh, but their music definitely suffers from heavy doses of averageness - a plight befitting many bands, guaranteeing them a miss on this blog, as we are proud bunch of very picky bastards. So you would be forgiven for asking why we open our books to them today? Well, there's one outstanding feature of OK GO, which obviously is NOT [...]
When OK Go's clever treadmill video went viral in 2006 (it's now over 49 million views), it helped propel the band towards a certain level of indie rock stardom. But their latest video for the single "This Too Shall Pass" filmed with the help of 200 members of Notre Dame marching band, isn't fairing as well. The band's label, which uploaded the site to YouTube, has prevented the video from going viral by disabling the embed feature and restricting its usage in some territories via geo-tagging. The band claims they are [...]
Here it goes again -- wahrlich kein neuer, aber ein selten lustiger Clip. Das neue Album des Quartetts, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky , erscheint am 12. Januar 2010.
For the two people in the world who haven't seen it this is a bloody brilliant 2006 music video by OK Go for their single 'Here it Goes Again'. The Holy Wikipedia tells of the 17 takes required to capture these three minutes of Trish Tsie choreographed genius. The video is an ever-so-slightly higher budget sequel to the arguably even more brilliant [...]
PJ, PJ really is all that and a big bag of rad dance moves. read more
Probably not, but that hasn't stopped the viewers of MTV UK to crown it as such, ahead of promotional reels by the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, and OK Go. Sure, it's all the result of an online poll, and one could argue that the clip is probably one of the most important videos of the ( seemingly waning ) music-video era, with its quick-for-its-time cuts and glossy preening, but the best ever ? Really? This result is kind of making me wonder just how bloody an online battle royale between Durannies and fans of the Jonas [...]
Treadmills. Dancing. Ok Go. You guessed it, another one take wonder! (more...)
Sure, every last bastard out there has put out one of these lists up since Youtube has gotten so big that you can find video clips of your own conception on it, but here's mine. Top five. All awesome. Ok Go - Here It Goes Again The Horrors - Sheena is a Parasite [...]
HOLY FRIGGIN' CRAP!!! OK Go 's video for "Here It Goes Again" aka the "Treadmill Video" was just nominated in Category #107 for Best Short Form Music Video at the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards. THE POWER OF THE INTERNET IN FULL EFFECT. When I first saw this video I knew it would be an instant classic. I HAD NO IDEA it would even be considered for a GRAMMY let alone be NOMINATED for one. OK Go are up against: [...]
All of a sudden they play rock videos? Just saw OK Go and now Under The Influence of Giants back to back...ugh Speaking of Under The Influence of Giants...I sort of don't get them. Its like if The Scissor Sistors and Razorlight had a child. I totally think the singer looks like a better version of Johnny Borell. That OK Go video with treadmills is pretty fucking genius. If you are one of the only people in the world who hasn't seen it...now [...]
Because I haven't done Video Wednesday in a long while, and you guys deserve the best, here's this video, which might as well be the most amazing music video of all time. Ok Go-Here it Goes Again It speaks for itself. But, in case you're still in need of convincing, it features treadmills and dancing on such treadmills. And also features a pretty good, catchy little indie [...]

By now, everyone knows about this video. My mom even asked me if I knew anything about the "rock band on treadmills." Ok Go is set to perform the same stunt from the "Here It Goes Again" video on this year's VMAs, which will be broadcast live on Thursday August 31st on MTV at 8pm. Hopefully this doesn't go down in history with Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" performance from 1997.... MySpace: Ok Go
I know, I know... this has been around for a while. But I just saw it thanks to Berry's Blog . OK Go (of This American Life fame) brings the Spike Jonze-style silly choreography to a new level by incorporating exercise equipment to their routine. Here's "Here It Goes Again": YouTube link is [...]
Finally the wait is over! Tomorrow Snakes On A Plane hits theatres, and I am anticipating that it will be filled with B-Movie cheese. Frankly, I am hoping that it falls into the "so bad that it's good" film canon. If you haven't received a personal phone call (or email) from Samuel L. Jackson yet regarding the movie, I'm sure he will get to you soon. In the meantime you can listen to the message I received here . Gees...Beer Fest last weekend, Snakes On A Plane this weekend, who says these are the dog days of summer? As [...]
Alright, so I would be completely remiss (because I have a penchant for posting about them ) if I didn't even mention the new fantastic OK Go video for their song "Here It Goes Again." It is just right-at-the-edge of wearing out their lame dance routine welcome, but somehow therein lies the brilliance. This one is arguably almost better than their first one (for " A Million Ways " ) because it involves the most fun you will ever have [...]
I think this is being shown on VH1, so everybody has probably seen it, but I don't watch that channel... I need to stop exercising and get back to the boobtube.
American Princes- Never Grow Old The song isn't the bomb. But it's a great example that you can make a great video on a very tight budget with a bit of wit. Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Cheated Heart's (On Conan O'Brien) [...]
