maybe i can make a trade with some of ya? i have 56mb of pics of the boys on my hard drive right now that have maybe only 10 pics since Oh No has been released. These include promo shots, random photos.... basically anything featuring the boys and their occasional '5th members' (Ara and Burleigh) EDIT: ok that sounded so dirty to me for some reason, but i dont know what else to call them! you guys know what i mean anyway! haha, and concert photos taken by other people (my concert photos are a separate folder which is 330 mb from the 12 shows+ i brought my camera to, which i can also share if you guys want)

I'm not sure what I could offer to trade, other than some pics of ARoss pre-OK Go, but I'd love to see some stuff with Ara in it(heck, I'd like to see some more Burleigh and Duncan stuff too, but I can settle for just Ara). From what I've (not) found, the web is seriously lacking pics of him in his OK Go-era. And he's seriously too talented to not ever be mentioned(all I hear about is Burleigh, haha).

Sitting in the back of a van for 12 hours driving to gigs doesn't help.

But apparently Andy's FAR too busy to blog anymore..

He's busy with the new SDR and OK Go Albums.

Or, at least I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

I don't even know who Ara is. Sorry if it was explained before but I'm too lazy to read the rest of this post.

He would sometimes play keyboards for them on tour.

That's Damian right???

women60banana

Bahaa, yes. I love when new fans stumble upon that..

spy9black

lool sorry if i repeated the same old question...
wow when was this taken??I love this photo...

women60banana

April of 2005. It was for an issue of Jane magazine with an article called "The 11 People You Want To See Naked Right Now - Right Where You Want Them ."

What comes to mind when you look in a full-length mirror?
"Skinny. White ass."

spy9black

LOL
it would be very very strange if he didn't have a white ass. The scarf is kinda unnecessary no?

She's right. Burleigh Seaver the Surly Beaver played the keyboards, Ara is the horn dude.

I'm having a very serious doubt due to the fact that I'm a foreign and my native tongue is not English. I'm trying to translate the lyrics of ok go (it's a hard task...) but I can't find the meaning of the expression "The fix is in" which is also the name of the song (as you all know). If you could explain it to me somehow...sorry for the ignorance but it's driving me nuts that I can't figure it out

Cityzen: What CDs are currently in your CD player?

Damian: Well, we don’t have a CD player anymore. We’ve “iPoded” it – we’re nerds. I’ll tell you what we listened to in the van yesterday and you can decide. In the van on the way from Cleveland to Boston yesterday, we listened to Spoon, The Starlight Mints, a bunch of Steely Dan, Bill Withers, and a band our keyboard player right now, Ara Anderson, is in called Boostamonte.



Boston's Weekly Dig: What’s up with the band? I heard you have a new keyboard player.

Damian: My job at this point is to play every night, which is about as good a job as I can imagine. We are training a new keyboard player. The one mentioned on our website, Ara Anderson, came out on our last tour but wanted to go back to San Francisco. There’s no bad blood or anything. The replacement is actually from our high school. His name is Burleigh Seaver, which means in high school you could call him Surly Beaver, which was pretty funny.

sherib

Ooh, that's really interesting; I didn't know anything about Burleigh before except what he looks(ed) like and that he played keyboards. Well, and that he was called the Surly Beaver. lol That's really cool that he was a high school buddy. Thanks for the info!

So then apparently Ara is both horn and keyboard. I only remembered horn, which is kind of amusing to me since I'd read that Cityzen article before ... Ara is the guy in the "What to Do" vid, right?

Yeah, I changed it recently. I may do that from time to time. To make sure nothing happens to it. If I do, I'll always post the new password on the boards.

congopoet56

It's not a common expression at all, so you totally don't need to feel bad that you don't know it. I think it's just completely open to interpretation. "A fix" is sometimes used to refer to satisfying a craving or addiction or just getting something that you often want. I guess you could say that "the fix is in" means that in our culture, it's popular to be addicted to things (or something like that...) Anyone else have any way to explain that? I don't know if I made much sense...

EDIT: Oh and fix is usually used in reference to drugs, ie. I need a fix = I need to shoot some heroin right now.

women60banana

I've always heard it used for survey results and news. Like, when the votes are counted or poll results come in, "the fix is in."
