Another really quite amazing video from Ok Go.

Purchase from iTunes, Amazon

Mind-blowing Rube Goldberg machine video from Ok Go.

Update aaaand then there’s also this equally-mind-blowing version:

OK Go – This Too Shall Pass from OK Go on Vimeo.

Ok Go – This Too Shall Pass

Lovely new music video from Ok Go, album to be released 1/12!

UPDATE 1/19:
This album is really great! It sounds very mature, not quite as charts-focused as earlier ones. Nice progression. Buy it now on iTunes or Amazon. Here’s a review.

Ok Go is getting a great response to their kickass backyard dancing video mentioned below (and pictured above). Watch it.  Watch it NOW!

Incidentally, the editors are just about as excited as they can get about the forthcoming album by Ok Go.  The forthcoming album which comes out in four short days.

Ok Go – A Million Ways

Great new song & ‘backyard dancing’ video on their website.

Notably, this is the first music video Ok Go (or any other Capitol Records band I’ve seen) has released encoded with QuickTime.

Why’s that important?  Well, it means you can make an mp3 out of it.

• Download it (right-click this link and ‘save target as…’),
• drag it into iTunes, and
• hit ‘Convert Selection to mp3.’

Update 8/10/2005 You snooze, you lose.  You don’t read this blog on time, well, you sort of lose.  Or maybe not.  ANYWAY: their homepage is different now.

Update 8/17/2005 The QuickTime is back, and IN EVEN HIGHER RESOLUTION.  Take advantage and add this track to your library.  Now.  That’s a direct order.
