august & nude damian
In a weird little twist of fate, I'm visiting Texas this week (instead of sitting at my desk in my little gray cubicle in Chicago)... and what do you know, OK Go is in the Lone Star State as well. So, with not much else going on, it was a no-brainer that I'd drive to Houston for the show last night. It was so good to see the boys (it's been almost two months!), and hear the new stuff again. It was also quite entertaining to watch my friend's reaction to the C-C-C-Cinnamon lips dance. All of it worth the four-hour drive.
Anyway, during the show, Damian mentioned that they have a new album coming out...in AUGUST! After the show, I asked why it got moved from July. He said that the album is now supposed to come out on August 16, which will give the record company more time to do a good job of promoting it and making sure it gets lots of press and all that. So I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer now... UGH
But, in better news, apparently Mr. Kulash did pose for a (mostly) nude photo for Jane magazine, which will give us something else to look forward to this summer.

At the rate this CD is getting pushed back, it'll never get here. I have to change my icon now..
I could've sworn they said that at Seminole, too, but thought I had to have heard him wrong or something. Boo. Oh well, at least it's good reasoning.
I've never heard of this Jane magazine, but I think I need to find out more about it. Ooh.
I have no clue, I just posted exactly what was posted on the tour dates page of the website (OK Go website).. though you're right, there wasn't anything listed on the Chicago HOB site... which sucks because otherwise I would have gone.
Someone (Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore?) should fix that if it's incorrect.
haha it's okay. i bet a lot of us wouldnt know who they were if they weren't on capitol.
and they semi-made it mainstream. and people that i know know them as the band that sings "that one song" and then when they hear it, they're like "OoooohhHHH THAT song!"
Awwww, glamorous indie rock'n'roll is all I want
Actually, I wouldn't have known about OK Go if I didn't take an interest in finding out how supporting acts to bigger acts sounded. (Phantom Planet toured with Incubus, so I checked out PP's music, liked it, went to their show, then lo and behold OK Go. I also got involved with college radio that year. So it would change my music world if/when OK Go or any of my other fave bands that I discovered with college radio were to hit mainstream.)
Oh my.
I wouldn't have known about them if they weren't on Capitol... a couple years ago when a band that I'm friends with got signed, i joined the record label mailing list to see how well they'd be promoted... one day Ok Go was in the mailing list and I clicked to listen to some songs. I believe it was YSDH and Dont Ask Me.
Yeah, I was totally in love from that point on.
did this post make sense?
basically i totally agree with shades o' blue
Nothing changes about the music itself if they get popular; I agree, that's definitely a stupid reason to not like a band anymore.
I do think the radio ruins songs by overplaying them, though. I couldn't even count the number of songs that I've loved by finding them online or on CDs, but then growing to hate them when it's on the radio every 5 minutes ("Boulevard of Broken Dreams" anyone?)
Shades, that's how I discovered OK Go too, seeing them open for someone else. I first saw them open for the Donnas (which I didn't really even like, but it was something for a bored group of friends to do). Needless to say, I'm very glad I went to that show!
Yeah. I think the only thing that DOES change about the music is that it's better quality. Like, the new Hot Hot cd, a lot of people i've tlaked to don't like it as much because it sounds so different. I really don't think it does. I just think it's the quality OF the sound and all that. Who knows though.
...kinda like how good charlotte looked like normal people (normal for lack of a better term) when their first cd came out, and then....all of a sudden they get on tv and are all wearin black eye liner and stuff *shudder* (sorry if you're gothic and my shuddering offends you
haha! Yes Seifer, I totally agree about Good Charlotte. As long as the band is the same music-wise, personality-wise and ethics-wise...why stop liking them?
yeah I listened to them when their first album came out, then after the second one all of us old fans were like wtf happened to Benji? He's not goth at all...I hate when people do that. But I for some reason can't see Damian suddenly beginning to wear eyeliner. It would clash with his clothes.
Though I must say that some guys look really, really good in eyeliner.
This made me picture a gothic Damian... I don't know if that would be the best look for him
I want my songs, damnit!
