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

Yeah so I'm pretty excited for the May Day Joy Formidable show at the Mercury lounge. Tickets are still available as of now (so get some).

Also if you don't have the album yet, you can buy it here.

The Joy Formidable - The Last Drop

I've been listening to The Joy Formidable since mid-December, and even went to this excellent show at Union Hall in mid-Jan, but then I got so distracted with my trip to Colombia that I didn't post anything about them.

Until now that is! They're really great and you need to listen to them all the time starting right now! You can buy their record here.

Also they're playing in NYC again on Saturday 5/1. They sound really great live. Get tickets and meet me there!

The Joy Formidable - Whirring

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 - WTF?

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.
