OK Go!

So I found out the other day that OK Go! played a concert at Duke, the university Mary attends in North Carolina, and the students didn't have to pay a thing. So so jealous right now. I don't think UoA has ever gotten someone quite as cool. We had some band cover Talking Heads (badly) one day. I remember that.
The guy couldn't speak French so I don't know WHY they would choose to do Pyscho Killer. Why? Why ruin a perfectly good song when there are plenty of other Talking Heads songs with plenty of English and not a hint of French?

Who else have we had? I can't even remember. I know we have End of Daze but that's never anything exciting.
OOOOH we had Phoenix Foundation, didn't we. They're pretty nifty. As in awesome.

This is probably my favourite Phoenix Foundation song to date, Bleaching Sun. Love the lyrics :D


I'm loving OK Go at the moment. I don't know what it is about their tunes... they're damn near infectious. They also have a talent for creating amazing video clips.

Here It Goes Again is a well known one...



And another that Mary and her friend Nini have introduced me too with their quotations "a million ways to be full" is...
A Million Ways



Can someone (or somethree) PLEASE learn this dance with me so we can bust this out in the club??

You're a million ways to be full...
Man these guys like dancing. They held a YouTube dance competition for fans, if you wanna see the entries you can go here www.youtube.com/group/okgodance
Look at the Ice Skating Pair. How awesome is that??? I would put yet another video into this post but enough is enough. That's an important lesson to be learned from the Destiny Church, as we all know ;)

There are 165 videos! Good for procrastinatoration ;)

Stay cool.

sigur rós is rocking my world... again.

If you guys haven't already listened to the Album Takk... ('Thanks...' in English), you should. It's awesome. My favourite song is hoppípolla and it enabled me to get as close to sleep as possible on my sleepless flight to San Francisco today/yesterday/somewhere in the order of a few hours ago.
It's been used for a whole heap of things: Fifa World Cup stuff, BBC trailers, movies (Children of Men, Penelope, etc).
The album itself is nice background music when you're lying around doing nothing or thinking or calm or trying to get to sleep and want some slow music to listen to. It's not all slow but it is all in Icelandic which makes it awesome. Like Bjork, but a million times better.



P.S This hostel has basic plugins missing from the browsers so if this doesn't turn out as it should (a youtube video of hoppípolla), please let me know so I can change it.
Awesome.
