OK Go outdo themselves yet again, promoting the release of a five-song EP by shooting a video in space. The shoot is jointly commissioned by Steve Jobs, Mark Cuban and Mark Zuckerberg and though it's marred by problems, the end result is stunning--with cameos by all three of the band's benefactors to boot. The song ("On the Way Up"), becomes a massive, worldwide hit on the power of the video alone and they start selling out arenas in every city. By December the band is shambles, though, with lead singer Damian Kulash leaving the band citing mounting internal discord within the band and massive overexposure. He eventually joins a monastery.

Well, I'd post translations of Brazilian accolades (as well as interviews, which I already do on Tumblr at least and posted the link to one somewhere here...) if you'd like to... I just don't wanna go through all the work for no one to read it xD

I'll always read it, but you knew that! It would be great to see the impact the boys had on your beautiful country. But, please, don't stress yourself out about it. Maybe a couple so we can see the gist of it?

Oh yeah, totally! Wouldn't be translating accolades that weren't interesting to read (that would be 'crossing-out-anyone-who-mentions-fucking-treadmills kind of thing)

LOL, No worries Laeticia. That's a funny bit.
Saw this in my email this morning. It's not an accolade, but it's an "end of year" sort of article. http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2010/12/music_predictio.php
BUMP.
This is an "of the last 10 years" accolade, but it fits here.
