Wait---there's a live version of "Treacherous Friends" that someone uploaded?  Awesome, that's just about my favorite song.  Also, I read somewhere that T sings one of the songs from the Appendices.  Is that correct or was I imagining it?

Ummm... how do I get in on this G-mail thing?

Talk to becky to get the password. And to read all the rules and such you can go to the 1st page since it's been reposted a couple times already. Trust me, it's all worth it.

OK got it.  Will do.  Thanks for your help and see you over there soon :)

Timory sings "Last December."  You are correct.

I have a related question: Does she do the background vocals for "Letterbox"? I hear a female voice and it sounds similar...

I sincerely doubt it.  Timory would've been long gone by the time I think they recorded Letterbox.

Ah. It is a mystery, then.

Thanks, Rachel.

Does anyone have ther elevator version of Get Over It?  If so, that would be awesome, I've looked around for it and I couldn't find it.

That's a good idea. I'd love to make a commercial with that. My only guess is to take it off YouTube with a system of some sort, though that's extremely dangerous for your computer, and you'd have to cut out their voices. Other than that, no clue. Sorry :'(

 

edit: I change my mind. I wouldn't want to have GOI in my presentation because all I'd do is sing and dance... though it would be nice to jam too in the car :P

Hey.

So I've been thinking, is there any way for us to get the official recordings of the handbell versions of songs without buying an entire USB? I know that we shouldn't include anything on the Gmail that we can buy from the band, but I own a USB from their NY show, so I have the "Return" handbell version. I'd love to get a good sounding recording of "What To Do" on handbells (along with other handbell songs they've done, if any).  

But especially What to Do. I saw them play it last year on 9/11 (as they mentioned, as a sort of tribute).  It's a strange feeling, especially being a New Yorker, to have more of an emotional response to hearing that song on that day than to seeing videos of the horrible event.

The only thing I could think for this would be for you to find a really good version on YouTube and then rip the sound from the video. I've tried both of the following programs and haven't had any problems. http://www.listentoyoutube.com/ and http://vixy.net/

No, I think that is her.  Letterbox is on Appendices.  Same version was later put on Hello Radio (TMGB tribute album).
 

I've always thought it was her.

*Edit: Realizing now that just because it's on Appendices doesn't necessarily make it contemporary with the recordings she *is* on.  But I always assumed it was a pre-OK Go one, that it was her, and that it was deemed an OK Go track when Hello Radio came along. 

DJRose

Reeeeally?  I didn't know Letterbox was ever on Appendices.  I am happy to stand corrected on this, though.

sherib

*TMBG, not TMGB, unless I want to claim that I've started calling them They Might Giants Be, which could be fun.

DJRose

TMGB is also Two Man Gentlemen Band, aka The Gents, aka an important related act to our fandom. ;-)

Thank you a thousand times to Becky and everyone else who put this amazing thing together.  You all rock!!!

You're very welcome!

This has been up for nearly a year and so far so good! I'm so happy to be able to share some very rare and hard-to-find OK Go and OK Go related music. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the "new" music they've discovered in the account.

Chips

I have some stuff that I don't think is on the acct yet, but I want to make sure it would be okay to upload it:

White Knuckles(WLT Acoustic)

Muppet Theme Song(Live on Jay Leno)

Greatest Song I Ever Heard(Live on Craig Ferguson)

Ping Pong Tips

Peace and Quiet/SSHB/Joy of Boredom(People)

So, what, if any, of that would be okay to upload to the Gmail account?

beckysioux

I'd say everything but the last two. Ping Pong Tips are available on the Oh No DVD set, if I'm not mistaken. And as for People, I think it'd be better if people downloaded it from Bandcamp. Heh, people download People.
