I was checking out the album at amazon.com for the heck of it tonight.

The little editorial about it says this...

Amazon.com
On its self-titled 2002 debut, OK Go nailed the two things every decent power-pop band needs--deadly looks and deadly hooks--to deliver the knock-out hit "Get Over It." Its follow up, produced by Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, the Cardigans) and recorded in Malmöö, Sweden, offers more of the same. Much more. The Chicago quartet can't seem to move through its record collection fast enough, piling on the Beach Boys harmonies, Cars synthesizer squelches and Queen-inspired fanfare on breakneck songs like "Here It Goes Again" and "Crash The Party." Without any pauses for breath or quiet contemplation, it's frankly almost too much to take in one sitting. Then again, it can't be easy trying to cram the entire history of pop in just under an hour. --Aidin Vaziri

It lists a 14th song "9027 Km" but the sound clip is just dead air.

    Interesting that they bothered to include a clip of that 14th track, cuz to me it's only background noise with the occasional lady's voice. I could be totally missing something, but I'm guessing the clip is on repeat so as to fill up the remaining 34 some minutes of the cd. Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'll wait for everyone else to listen to it and post about it.

    yeah
    its probably one of those bonus tracks where it's like 20 minutes of dead track and then a song comes on.

    No no. i've listened to it once thru. there is no music, just the background noise and the lady's voice sometimes. again, i think it's just on repeat. what i'm missing is what might be going on...

    someone should ask the guys at one of the shows and see what they say about it.

    It's a secret, but there's a very good, very pratical reason for it, even if it seems weird. Trust us on this one.
