Another amazing music video from OK Go.
From YT: The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and behind-the-scenes footage, see

sillmasays...That video is just stupid awesome.
FerazelWow, a music video with some interesting science instead of hoochie mama's getting down on some pimp. If only society actually valued this type of thinking behavior instead of lizard brain mentality.

SWBStXsays...No Questions these guys make the best music videos currently, probably the best ever. Simply awesome!
If you never saw their last video on it's own website you really should check it out. It's optimized for Google Chrome but it works fine with Firefox as well. It opens up nearly two dozen windows and re-sizes and moves them around throughout the video and even lets you put in your own line of text to see in the video in a really interesting way.
