New Fan
Hi guys,
I just heard the new record, and have fallen in love with it. My new fav for sure. I really never paid much attention to OKGo, though I remember the first single back a few years ago was great, and the treadmill video was a wild sensation.
But the new sound is the shit! I gotta ask how much Prince were you guys listening to when you recorded it? I hear all kinds of references to obscure songs... I am a huge fan, especially of the stuff around Sign O The Times, and especially the unreleased stuff circa Dream Factory. I'm pretty sure that he was an influence on this new record of yours......which is great, did I mention?
On an unrelated but somehow related note: I met Dan Kanopka's dad at one of my gigs last year here in St Pete, FL. He was so cool, one of the only people who came up after our set and engaged conversation, he said he we sound like you (I wish)......it was a memorial benefit show for a friend Jen Nolletti who died in a car accident the prior year. Anyway, Dan... your dad rocks and he was speaking very highly of you and what you guys do. I'm glad to have finally taken notice.
I hope you come to the Tampa Bay area soon!
Cheers,
