I like OK Go alot. And these videos they've been making are great. The one for "A Million Ways" is a riot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbdbVhBGETQ I saw them open for Fountains of Wayne a few years ago in a Philly club and thought they were really good. I picked up the Locksley EP based on some raves here on Audities, and was struck by how the 2nd song (name escapes me right now) is a dead ringer for OK Go. (and don't get me wrong, I like the Locksley disc). -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Stewart Mason" > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sager, Greg" > > One of the things that amuses me the most about both videos is that > > the > > bandmember lip-synching the words for both songs is *not* Kulash, > > the > > guy who actually sings them.
