My new favorite band is Ok Go. A couple years ago, that song "Get Over It" was big on the radio, and I figured I'd look into getting the rest of that album, but forgot. So I'm sitting home today with a cold, and that song pops into my head. I head over to the Ruskies and three bucks later I have two CD's worth of mpeggery stored away.
I'm giving the latest album a listen, and I like it. Their music reminds me of The Stranglers a little. It's sort of low-tech in a way that I like. Has an infectous beat, which is always good. It sounds like music that could have been made 25 years ago.
Tracy pointed out that for the song "Here It Goes Again" is worth a look, and indeed it is. Those treadmills look fun.
Anyway, I wound up going to their web site and buying a t-shirt. They'll get more off that sale than if I bought their CDs in the store. If they end up playing locally, I'll go see them for sure.
That video is freaky cool. You, me, Tess & P. should head to Sears and recreate it.

If you have a mastercard, you can charge up your account, G.

Poop.
