Oh shit...I missed this post...sorry
How can I'm be that blind,ahhh....

What did Helvetica ever do to you?
ALSO I just realised "colour" is spelt with a "u." That makes me happy.
It's just so... so... so boring. And this album is anything but.
But this is just such a huge improvement over the other one, IMO.
The ( hopefully ) updated artwork is really nice. Ways better then the earlier posted one.
Though I prefer the old logo + identity..
Never mind, just hope the packaging will be a nice cardboard gatefold sleeve and I'll be happy.
Please no jewelcases!!!
Edit: And here w/o ze white border shizzle;
Edit1: I've heard Damian saying they're touring Europe for 1,5 months after the release.
I keep my fingers crossed for an Amsterdam gig. The big news IS, that I'm planning to do my personal artwork / packaging for the new album.
Any of you have exposure with giving things to the boys..? How's that work?
As for giving the guys stuffs, if you meet them after the show, just hand deliver it. That's what I've done in the past. Just last Friday I gave them all Cubs Pez Dispensers. I asked if they had a pocket and then handed it over. Dan was excited because he likes the Cubs and candy. Of course aross gave me shit for giving him something Cubs related
ooooooooh! that's so pretty! idk about the font though.... eh.
I keep my fingers crossed for an Amsterdam gig.
Well, they're playing in the UK until the 18th of January and then in Paris on the 26th. Odds are good, then, that they'll make it to Amsterdam, especially as they've played there before.
I have "This Too Shall Pass" stuck in my head and I ADORE "Last Leaf". I saw them in LA twice this week and both times Damian was like ok guys I am gonna try and not be such an arrogant dick for a little bit and come out there and connect with you. hahahaha oh man I love our boys.
Special edition with an extra DVD.. 28 euros! Probably will be updated as soon as there is more information but its coming, at last!

That is *really* cool, Joris. I checked to see today if there were any special editions coming out in the States, and couldn't find anything like that. BUT, I did find this:
http://www.billboard.com/news/ok-go-hops-o...004049548.story
Take that alongside the Carson Daly interview from the other night and one might infer that they are making videos for every song on the album, or at least trying to.
Hmmm, I don't know if Last Leaf will get a vid. I would love it if it did. Especially if it recreates how it was recorded.
Nice article. Thanks, lady!
Meaning no disrespect to Meg Harkins, Capitol VP of marketing, but ugh: "proper platform," "reintegrate" and "marketplace." Who talks like that? This is why I am not in marketing.
But hooray for this: "We just want to be the band who does weird stuff." Yes!
I love the cover! While I am most thrilled about the new music, of course, I'm enough of a graphic design nerd to anticipate with some excitement the new artwork, too, so much so that I made a point of asking Damian last month who is doing the art for the new record:
"Me and two British guys." (silent cheer from me. I'd hoped Damian was doing it.)
"Anyone I would know?"
"No... They're doing a comparative textual analysis of the song lyrics and text from the book that the title is taken from. [Then he said something about it being in a beautiful font and/or color]"
"Mm..you're getting all art-semiotics on me, Damian."
"I am. I am getting THAT on YOU, yes."
My question also reminded him that something to do with the art was due the next day, which made me happy to think about. Damian has deadlines just like the rest of us.
Finally, I offer proof that I am a graphic design nerd: There is a documentary film about a font - Helvetica, in fact - that I've watched more than once. Michael Beirut, a graduate of Cincinnati's DAAP program and now with Pentagram in NYC, appears in the film and guest-spoke at a screening here. He said, "If you're a graphic designer, this is like the feel-good movie of the year."
My girlfriend comes with me, I seriously cant wait to hear the new material live + I guess I will buy the whole merchandise store *saves some money already*..
Be sure to watch them shimmy.
