About the Artist

OK Go follows its series of imaginative videos with its first-ever full-length DVD, which will be released on November 7th in a special package with Oh No, the band's 2005 CD. The DVD includes the band's homemade video for its Top 20 Modern Rock single, "Here It Goes Again."

The DVD contains the requisite traditional fare - a documentary on the making of Oh No and the album's four official Capitol Records videos. But tradition soon goes out the window in favor of OK Go's characteristically madcap approach to video making, yielding a grab bag of goodies from the band's career to date (encompassing material from Oh No as well as OK Go's 2002 self-titled debut). Fans can watch the evolution of the band's unusual dance style, beginning with an early dance routine for "C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips" performed on the Chicago cable TV show "Chica-go-go" in 2000 with The Public Radio Allstars serving as backing band and culminating with OK Go's homemade dance videos for "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again." The video for "A Million Ways," which simply features the band dancing in Kulash's backyard, is the most-downloaded video in music history.

Highlights of the DVD include "OK Go Phenomenon V.3," a sampling of the more than 180 fan versions of the "A Millions Ways" dance that were submitted to the "OK Go Dances With You(Tube)" contest, a behind-the-scenes look at OK Go shooting the treadmill routine and rehearsing it for MTV's 2006 Video Music Awards, an acoustic performance of "What To Do," shot in black and white with the fellows sporting a decidedly retro look, OK Go's three PSAs for The Federal Truth in Music Project and "There's A Fire," a video game within a video that segues into a scene with the video game characters interacting in their "real life." Live versions of "Do What You Want" and "You're So Damn Hot" document the band's adventures on the road, from autograph sessions and radio station visits to bowling and goofing off in numerous state parks while fans star in "Don't Ask Me," showing off their moves in a dance booth that OK Go brought on tour in 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a no-brainer folks..., November 8, 2006

By	Larry Davis "powerpoplarry" (NYC/Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

Even if you were the first on your block to buy OK Go's great sophomore release "Oh No" a year-and-a-half ago, you really have to get this new deluxe expanded reissue, and NOT say "Oh No" at the prospect of rebuying the album over again.

I honestly had no idea this was coming out (I just saw the boys on Leno and Jay's mention of it along with holding it up for all to see, I was like "What The...???"), but you know what happens...a great record was resurrected from the dead, and the label strikes while the iron is hot, and usually, these reissues just piss off more people than they entertain. Not OK Go's deluxe "Oh No". This new 2006 CD/DVD is a reissue done right.

First off, it follows in the album's tradition of it being shrinkwrapped with the band's logo forming a clear window for the fancy artwork to show through...the original one was black, this one's like purple/plum...when you open it up, THAT's where things are REALLY different. I don't know who thought of the idea, but it's clever, just like everything the band does...the NEW artwork incorporates someone's fingers (perhaps Damian's??) holding up a shrunken CD (with the original artwork), turning each page, and the CD itself, as if displaying it for you, very nice. The CD of the album is identical to the original CD, 2nd edition, with the "bonus" 14th track, whatever it is...it originally pissed me off, but I grew to accept it for what it is. Having the album itself just separates you from the wannabe's, and shows you have impeccable taste.

Now, the DVD is the clincher, icing on the cake, etc. It's not some record company ploy, it's the band's design and a clearing of their video vaults!!! It's over an hour of stuff, including not only all the clever clips from "Oh No" that made our boys a sensation on YouTube, even the making of the famous "treadmill video" of the ultracatchy "Here It Goes Again", but ALSO all the clips from their just-as-great 2002 self-titled debut album, like the song/clip that made me pay attention to them in the first place, "Get Over It", with it's pingpong footage, hooray!!! Add in live clips, fan involvement like the dancing booth they brought on tour and video entries in a contest they had...the works.

Add all this up in a handy dandy package of a record and band that deserves all the accolades gone their way...all at a bargain of a price, and hours of upon hours of fun, woohoo!!!

Oh, and hearing the record again is absolutely swell, even if you've worn out 10 copies of it...they make awesome gifts!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stuck in CD player, November 27, 2006

By	C. Marksbury - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't get this disc out of my CD player. Imagine this...a band that can play, write songs and put on a good show, has good sense of humor, fun to watch...no - it can't be. I recently asked my daughter if there were any new decent bands that actually wrote some good music and didn't have to "RAP" due to the fact that they could sing [remember - melodies, harmonies????] She said "OK GO." This disc has been in the player for almost 3 weeks. It is really great and I look forward to more music from this band. I just hope they can withstand the future of this crappy business since all anybody wants to do is DOWNLOAD one or two songs and music stores are folding up shop. Every one of these 13 songs are worth listening to. The added DVD is cool to have as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh No?! More like OH YES!, October 20, 2007

Ok Go is quite possibly one of the most talented and innovative bands in the business today. This album is by far my favorite. Not only will you get the poppy sounds you're looking for, but you will be entertained with their use of sound, lyrics, and fun. I guarantee you will be entertained from the first track to the very last.
