OK Go

Post by Axtech »

Has anyone heard of this band? I've heard/seen the video for Get Over It. It's pretty catchy. Nice to see some straight out rock, without any of the b.s.

I just downloaded the album. It's okay. There are a few good songs on it. Some of it's a little too pop-rock, but it's not bad. I won't be running out to buy it any time soon though.

Any suggestions? I like Get Over It alot. Very catchy. I'd like to hear some of their other stuff before I buy their album though.

I like "You're So Damn Hot" quite a bit.

They make no claims that they're trying to be insightful or deep with their music, they just love to play. I can respect that. I'll never be huge into them, but they're fun.

And the fact that they were signed by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, who happens to be one of my heros, only increases my joy...

I love OK GO. My favorite song by them is Return. Second is C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Exactly! The music is fun. The guitar parts in Get Over It are awesome. It's just fun music.

I love in the Get Over It video, when it's in a really heavy part of the song, and it stops, shows them playing ping-pong, then continues.

if you have a fast connection you can go on their website and play ping pong... it's a great waste of time :nod:

I was then to be part of the mystery,
to love and be loved. Let's just hope that is enough.
