2. Oh Lately It's So Quiet
3. 1000 miles per hour
meow.
I'm fairly new fan of OK Go. I like all their songs but at the mo my favourite is Let it Rain, it's a beautiful song I kinda play rather rough cover of this song on the guitar.... took me ages to play and sing at the same time, cos this tune has got funny rhythm hasn't it?!
Actually, the JC used to be a lot more popular than these forums... I really don't know now, though.
I think we decided at some point that Let It Rain was in 13/4... so it would be subdivided 123/123/123/1234... I can't remember if the whole song is like that, but yes, it is odd.
I'm meg, btw.. nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too!
BTW what does 13/4 mean?? Am I being dumb?
13/4 is a time signature... the top number = how many beats in a measure of music, and the bottome number = which note gets the beat
so 13/4 means that there are thirteen quarter notes in a measure. which could be typed out as /1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13/ ...
but a measure that long will usually be broken up, aka subdivided. in this case into /123/123/123/1234/ so it ends up sounding like /DUN dun dun/DUN dun dun/ DUN dun dun/ DUN dun dun dun/ which hopefully you can see is the rhythm for at least part of Let It Rain..
the most common time signatures are 4/4- /1234/ or /DUN dun dun dun/
and I guess 3/4- /123/ or /DUN dun dun/ (<--- like a waltz... 1-2-3, 1-2-3, etc.)
I hope that makes sense.... if it doesn't, don't worry, I could explain it better in person but you don't really need to know unless you're trying to read music.
So no, you're not being dumb, I just forget that most people can't read music and don't think of rhythm in terms of time signatures.
I must admit, I did study music at school but I was never good with reading music.....ha ha

You know, I'm thinking though that it's more likely that they're in 3/4 with an occasional measure of 4/4 thrown in. I've never heard of anything being in 13/4 - the notation would be NIGHTMARISH to write or read.
Well I personally never really seen 13/4 either but I'm not sure!!!
hmm yeah I thought of that too. and you're probably right, seeing as that's how it ends up anyways.
but 13/4 is more entertaining =P
oh well.
2. Do What You Want
3. Get Over It
4. Invincible
but 13/4 is more entertaining =P
oh well.
Oh no doubt, 13/4 is WAY more entertaining a thought. :-D
And now I'll point out that OLISQ has the most votes right now! W00T!
No Sign would beat Oh Lately's ASS arm-wrestling
That may be so, but Oh Lately knows how you want it, baby.
I thought it was Laughing A Whole Lot, ah well, these things are always fuzzy.
I voted for Bye Bye Baby, although the EP version of that song is my favourite
My other favorites are:
Aren't We Dozy
Oh Lately It's So Quiet
It's Tough To Have A Crush
Don't Ask Me
So Damn Hot
What To Do
There's A Fire
and Women + Men, just because it makes me giggle.
It's impossible to choose just a few favourites
dont ask me
