round all the pieces up but they just don't fit the same

band crush #1 OK Go

so I bet everyone has seen at least some of OK Go's videos, whether it's the treadmill one or the one in the back garden, they are pretty popular on youtube, and have been spoofed various times, even on The Simpsons.



But they are just the tip of the ice berg. 
Some of my favourites include:

(this one you have to check out the website here
where you can add your own message into the video)

And check out the marching band version below, 
which is on the extra nice edition of 'Of The Blue Colour of the Sky'

This is currently my favourite OK Go song

And this is currently my favourite OK Go video

I love how much effort is put into their videos and want to try out making my own, especially one with stop motion capture .Videos are a huge part of music now, it's been building up ever since that day in 1981 when MTV broke the ice with 'Video Killed the Radio Star', and I think bands shouldn't miss the opportunity to grab the world's attention with such visual brilliance.

Finally I just want to say look how awesome the new Muppets film is going to be, so much so OK Go have done the theme song.
