Ok, Go here.
Like their music or not (and we admit, we go both ways depending on the song), OK Go has some top-notch videos. Better yet, band members participate (you might wanna sit down for this) without irony and with full-on enthusiasm. Hand claps and shit to you, boys.
This one for "A Million Ways" got 9 million downloads so far, according to Capitol Records:
And before anyone reems me for being late or says, "Jeez, that video is like so old!", I know it is, Shannon showed it to me when it first came out...or hell, maybe before. All I'm saying is, it's a point of reference...
...For this new one (New! Now with treadmills!), for "Here It Goes Again" that really shoots the band's choreography to a whole new level. I mean, there's obvious improvement here:
I totally forgive the hipster outfits for all the rehearsals this one required.

yes, i hate hipsters.
yes, i LOVE this video.
i admit it.
that's pretty much the coolest video i've ever seen. (treadmills)
PORN. PORN. PORN. PORN.
That is all.
I hear James Blunt does a version of "Fall At Your Feet." Have you heard it? Maybe I should ask, do you want to hear it?
EG - I've heard it. Man, whatever. Perhaps I should give James Blunt props for having good taste, but no, I can't because he screwed the song. He took it from it's original evocative tension to total sad-sack, flacid hum-drum.
I Can't - First off, sure you can. Second, it's choreography, baby. Like I said, you may not dig the music, but you gotta appreciate the effort and definitely the rehearsals it took to make two one-take videos of choreographed dance moves.
And third, thanks! (Perhaps today's selections will better suit you.)
