Nice to know that OK Go no longer need to rely on gimmicks to sell their songs... -- (link) - secretslacker Mar 9, 08:36 [youtube] 7
- Few music videos advanced the art (such as it is) as much as Here We Go Again -- nm - con_coffee Mar 9, 08:41
- I personally really like OK go and think their gimmicks simply give them access to a larger audience than they'd have without. - the emerald city loves mandy lane Mar 9, 08:39 5
  - I think I like them on record better... but the show last night wasn't that bad. - secretslacker Mar 9, 08:52 2

- oi! That is pretty tidy. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 08:33
- I tried watching it, I got 3 episodes in and realized I have no idea what they're talking about half the time. - Krusty Mar 9, 08:32 2
  - That's probably because it came out of Wales which is a whole different lingo and vibe. -- nm - LMS Mar 9, 08:35
  - *I not I'm* -- nm - Krusty Mar 9, 08:34
- Screw Gavin and Stacey updates...where the hell are the Gabby and Lindy updates???? -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 08:32
