I'm sure everyone has heard of the band OK GO at this point, but I don't want to focus on their music as much as their videos. These guys have used the use of music videos better than anyone in the last 5 years. In an age when all the rap videos are chicks, cars, dogs, etc. few people even really care to watch music videos anymore.(especially since Music Television "MTV" doesn't even play them anymore) Now that the age of youtube has really taken hold these guys have used music videos as an amazing way to spread their music to a broad base of people.
Their videos range from colorful to conceptual to just down right awesome. Whether they're dancing in their backyard or using treadmills, or pulling Rube Goldberg that seems like it's a mile long, you're basically in for an amazing ride from start to finish. The really amazing thing about all their videos are shot in ONE TAKE! That element alone adds to the final product because you know endless amounts of preparation went into it.
Without further ado, I'm just gonna post them so you guys can watch them. I won't even try to do them justice with words.
And please check out their website and such to support them.
