Huh?? I didn't hear anything about that!
Maybe this was something supposedly happening after those guys talked in the tabloids about their secret motel room romps with him? One was a Marine or something ... I can't remember.

oh, that might be it. I know they were suing him and maybe his management for misleading them.. I'm 95% sure that part is true. I just assumed that he had come out, but if it was a tabloid story, then that makes sense.

I dunno. I don't really care, either, its just funny.

All I remember is seeing horrible webcam pictures of him. Ai.

I'm so glad no one in Australia gives a shit about him. We have our own sucky Australian Idols to harm our precious ears.

One sings a asong that goes, "I've got a car. I've got a big black shiny car." And I'm not kidding.

So I don't think anyone's mentioned Mike or Tuckey yet.

Right before they went to commercial and were listing who was on que for next, they showed them walking around backstage with bright orange jumpsuits with "TREADMILL CREW" written on the back. (I'm sure that was the most excitingly tackily dressed way to meet Paris Hilton and all the celebs )

And as exciting as it was to see that, I kinda wish Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore and Milosh were there too. sigh.

I didn't see the VMAs on tv, sadly...

and someone did mention that, but I didn't realize that it ws Mike and Tuckey!

thats pretty amazing.

Yeah, I think Penelope said that. I still never went back and looked for that part--now I'm even more interested/amused

Just found this and it made me laugh:
"We haven't performed the treadmill dance ever, except the one time we did it on tape... Frankly I'm not that nervous because I know we're gonna bite it." OK GO star DAMIAN KULASH didn't have a lot of faith in recreating his band's famous treadmill-dancing video onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York last night (31AUG06). The group pulled off their treadmill-dancing feat live at the show.

From contactmusic.com

I just noticed it says "OK Go star." Ha Well then, to quote Prince,

Baby, you're a star!!

And to quote Brandon Flowers,
Andy, you're a star too.

Do the French not have exclamation points on their keyboards because they don't like expressing anger or happiness? Are they monotone, even in text-based genres?!

No, I found the exclamation point abou two minutes after I wrote that, under my hand. I'm just an idiot.

Unfortunately, I didn't know OK Go was on the VMAs. I was going to watch the VMAs and reminded myself and such but when it finally started, I said to myself. "Blegh, all they have is rap and hip-hop" *turns off TV*

I LOVE Damian's face here Andy's awesome, too. And seeing Tim in the t-shirt & stuff in this group of pics--he looks so much younger! It makes you realize, yes, those t-shirt & jeans days were only a couple years ago. I wonder if Damian, or Dan for that matter, would suddenly look younger if we saw him in a t-shirt & jeans

I'll verify this for Dan, he was in jeans & a tshirt (and that hat he wears) after the last show I went to. He looked younger.




In other news, I just went to MTV.com to check out those interviews. haha, the making of was great. Tim's hott pectorals. oh yeah.

Tiny image but..



Manly hairless pectorals! Mmm.

Um, I'm not sure how to link it exactly.

That should take you to MTV Overdrive, on the right find VMA Backstage: Uncensored, then scroll down until you find OK Go: The Making of the Treadmill Video.

Andy talks about the bruises he has then Tim flashes his nipple and says "Oh whoops, that's just a fine pectoral." ... yup.

chin3beggar

Poor Andy...yeesh.


That REALLY looks like it hurts.


I do think the hair flair adds a special touch..

Doesn't challenge his manliness at all, whatsoever.

i really enjoyed Andy's headband, and Damian's skinny jeans.
