Okay, OK GO, Okay
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I know I'm 31 years old, and I really shouldn't be listening to ANYONE who gets any kind of obsessive airplay on TRL (Hilary Duff co-hosts this week guys! I can't wait!!!) (eek!!!!) but I friggin' love the poppy schlockiness of OK GO. Actually, mostly I love their videos. I want to wrap myself in wallpaper, hop on my segway and learn to play the drums. That whole vintage pattern stuff really gets me. I just love love love how it looks.
I also love the video that's like in the basement/rec room of the church (Get Over It) and the one where they blow up all kinds of shit, like haybales and stuff (Invincible). And, of course, my most favorite piece of brilliant choreography ever, the treadmills (Here it Goes Again) (oh, and the backyard dancing too! (A Million Ways)).
So, now i sound like a total teenager, but OHMYGODILOVEYOUOKGO!!!!!
I am only reminded of this because, apparently, this sort of thing qualifies as "news" these days.
So. I admit it. I love you, OK GO, okay?
You had me at OK GO.
(ahem, this isn't to say I've been reduced to actually buying an album. I mostly just watch the videos again and again on their website. Which, I think, is really pathetic of me.)

Robbi,
Bren and I saw OK GO in concert this past Friday night along with Snow Patrol. I must admit, OK GO was pretty great. They had awesome videos playing behind them the whole time. I think you might like the CD... the music was fun.
Of course, I am only 28, so maybe I have to like them more than you... :)

I'm so old I don't even know who Snow Patrol is. BUT, my resolve not to buy the CD is wavering in the wake of your approval.

My name is Melissa and I am an OK GO addict.
Or at least I think I qualify. I saw one of the band members on tv talking about how it felt to be a YouTube phenom and like a mindless sheep went straight to the nearest web browser. I watched the user submitted entries for A Million Ways until 3am (yes it was a weeknight - I was sleepy the next day). I believe I was hypnotized. There were some true stand outs. A wedding where members of the wedding party surprised the bride with their own rendition - A day in the life of four Hogwart's students who apprently had been bewitched to dance through their day. An a cappella version - a chorus sang the song as four dancers strutted their stuff for family and friends. It was nifty. I was addicted. I was also convinced I could do the dance if only I had 3 like-minded individuals to share in the fun. This did not happen.
I don't own the cd. I don't need it. I have high speed internet. :-)

OMG.
I, also, watched the Million Ways submissions until 3am. And, count me in as a like-minded individual to share in the fun. 2 more to go, and we can relive the infamous prize-winning Triangle Man lip-synching contest of senior year. Get Jodi and Abigail on the horn!Yeah!
