    I think it's going to sound like Damian singing and Dan, Rusty, and Tim playing instruments.

    There is always a need for more cowbell
  • CSunderlaCSunderla
    always.
    and a christopher walken superuber producer.

    maracas sound pretty fun too and a hippie tamborine with flowing fluid feathers...
    oooooh... what about bagpipes and a keytar would be pretty awesome too.
    yeah, could you add all that for me in the new song?

    what's the weirdest instrument out there? Should this be a separate post?
    I think so.

    keytar is SO underrated.
  • CSunderlaCSunderla
    totally.

    Definition of a Keytar from urbandictionary.com
    Keytar: The absolute coolest way to play the piano. First comes piano, then electric synth, than keytar. 6-year olds complaining about not liking piano lessons: Don't worry you'll be grateful in the future.

    ex: My Korg RK-100 keytar is off the hook and all because of the piano lessons I took from the ages of 5 to 13.

    HAHAHAHA. Urbandictionary.com provides me with hours of mindless amusement.

    You will be happy to know that Down For The Count rangs among my favorite OK Go songs, though I don't believe I've heard the mix that's being released in the UK.

    That being said, I like it for reasons that might make it less popular than their other tracks. It seems simple, but I think it's pretty daring in the way it builds tension as the song progresses. You spend the entire time waiting for cathartic release that never comes, an experience that most people hate and some people love. It's like watching a heartbreaking hollywood movie and walking out before the tacked-on happy ending ruins the whole thing.

    okay, so Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, is it similar in any respects to any OkGo song at all, is there a similar rhythm/tempo that we can kinda compare to? Fast or slow? Is the buildup kinda like "Maybe, This Time?" Cause I really do like that song btw one of my faves. I'm getting mixed emotions/reactions/confusion. You're tearing me in diff. directions Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore. Arghhh! I can't take it! I can't take the senseless commotion!

    Yeah, it's closer to Maybe, This Time or The House Wins, only simpler. Don't feel torn apart: it's a really great song.

    These are the moments at which I wish I were British.

    Or living abroad.

    Blargh.

    Yeah, I was going to order through Amazon UK (though that means I probably won't find the 7" vinyl on there, so I might need to enlist the help of someone over there), because I really want to hear these songs.

    Except then my roommate kept giving me looks like, "Stop buying OK Go stuff!"

    You've intrigued me, Mr. J. I'll have to hunt down a copy when I go to England in a few months. Damn you J O R G E for forcing me spend lots of time in British record stores.

    Poison, you're my hero, and you know why cool.gif

    And to make this post related to the topic, I'm very interested in hearing the new song as well, though I won't be waiting until my trip to England, it should be here by then.
