There are two words for this video.  “Amazing” and “Fuckin-incredolicious.”  One of those words was recently made up by an anonymous author, but still holds true.  In this tribute to Rube Goldberg, the members of OK Go play a trivial role amidst the seemingly endless mechanisms timed to their single, “This Too Shall Pass.” Continue Reading

Holy naked.  I must forewarn that this is NSFW.  Not that blurs are not employed, but I doubt if your uber-conservative boss will appreciate the humor. Continue Reading

For a band consisting of 20-somethings, The xx appear very calm, cool, and calculated.  Exemplified by a simple, yet soulful sound, they’ve left tracks on both sides of the pond, selling out shows and leaving audiences breathless. Continue Reading
