when u leave concerts and dates what city are they in??

thanks so much for putting up this video. that was about a million types of fantastic. i've been reading about their dance routines on their blog but never did i picture something this amazing.
i'm really anticipating the new album now.

Whatever record had "Get Over It" on it was, apart from that track and a couple others, utter shit.

I know there's a good band lurking in there somewhere though. If only my connection would let me watch these videos.

G3K: You are talking about their debut album, which scored a stunning 2.6/10 on Pitchfork. The follow-up EP wasn't much better.

They found their ways to be cool!
the video is so hilarious!

anonymous -- concerts are usually in New York or Los Angeles, where we live.

And I agree with you folks -- this band has far more misses than it has hits. This particular song ain't bad, and the video more than makes up for what it lacks.

hello.please share my developing art/music blog. leave a comment to list your link.sinc rjkiss

what song is this video for?

Nostalgialikewoah.
OK Go and I go way back. Thanks for the video link - it's priceless.

victor: Looks like something off the forthcoming album.

Their first album was somewhat of a disappointment. The songs that were brilliantly performed in the live shows seemed to lose something in translation to the studio. Plus, there was a bit of unwelcome filler (c.f. "There's a Fire" especially) left in the doughy middle of the CD that could have been replaced by much, much tighter stuff. Even so, I still listen to (and enjoy) this CD from time to time.

As for Pitchfork's stunning 2.6: fuck 'em. I still haven't forgiven them for the really crappy grade (2.8!) they gave TMBG's Mink Car.

Bloody hell I loved that. So cool.

Well, of course Pitchfork wouldn't give the album a good mark. It's too fun. Drowned In Sound had a good appraisal: Ok Go are the anti-Radiohead. It explains why they gave it 4 out of 5 and Pitchfork's was so low. And while we're discussing bad scores, Stylus gave it a F.

But if this song is on the forthcoming album, then it'll be one to watch.

Drowned in Sound needs to be banned from putting a grade with their reviews; too many of them are horribly inflated. Pitchfork is, at least, somewhat reliable -- if a bit predictable. Cokemachineglow tends to be good, too.

That was so awesome.

wow, didn't know so many people were disappointed with the first album. i thought it was a fun, catchy summer album. nothing spectacular, but not disagreeable.

I also love the first album. Good, solid pop.

This is so brilliant. I can't even control myself.

yeah, I liked the first album as well
but I have to admit
that I've seen them live enough
that I think more about that
then the quality of the album
when I listen to it

that being said,
it's pop
I hate when people
dismiss something because
it is what is it
and it's not embarrassed to admit it

and people, people, people
pitchfork
is not the be all and end all
of music reviews

best video ever. all i can think about is how many times these guys said "oh i'll bring it" during the shoot.

Who choreograhed the dance moves?

their choreographer is named Trish. You can read about her on the guitarist's blog:

I don't know what some of you people are talking about. OK Go's first album was awesome and they remain one of my favorite bands. Their cd is great and they are incredible live. They make music that is fun, not too many artists do that anymore. Just because it isn't depressing "i feel like slitting my wrists" music doesn't mean it's not worth listening to.

Fucking fantastic! It takes me back (embarrasingly enough) to my own pep club days--I swear they stole some of our "moves." OK Go's local to me (Chicago) and now I know I have to see them live, regardless of the fact that I've never been that intrigued by their music.

This band is pure RUBISH, as far as music goes. But where their music completely lacks anything interesting they make up in being funny and having a good time. I always look to this site for interesting music.

Yay! Andy gave me a dvd of this after their show in Montreal! it kicks so much ass!

I never looked at any reviews for any of their music...and I loved it. ALL of it. Maybe I just have bad taste, but there are much lauded bands who are worse than okgo..

i have had an on and off love affair with ok go for the past 2 or 3 years now. i love that there are break up songs, and all that, but they're not sad or depressing. its like, "ok, u're cheating on me, but im not gonna be sad about it." i don't have their cd, but i have heard alot of it, and i love every minute of it. ok go is different, and i think that's why people have a problem with them.

I happen to LOVE Ok Go!!!!!! Their self-titled album is amazing! THe lyrics are so poetic and if people actually take to time to listen to them and understand what they are trying to say then you will fall in love with their music. Plus, all their songs have a good beat.
