OK Go - Here It Goes Again

I am kind of in love with this band..........

………..but then I do that. I hear one song by someone I previously didn't know existed and then go crazy and buy all their shit. Did that with Rufus, Travis, Aimee Mann (although I knew about her in the 80's when she fronted Till Tuesday, just never knew she did solo stuff). So OK Go is my new musical obsession and this video is what did it for me (thanks Eddy!).

There was a story on NPR lately telling about some study some professor did about "adventure windows" and how they close on when you get older and you end up being stuck in a musical rut. And even if you're still a youngster I know you know these types…..people that only listen to 70's southern rock or 80's new age even though it's no longer 1972 or 1986. Basically they stop being adventurous about music and stick to what they listened to in high school and college and are like that until they play Miss American Pie at their funeral. I (and the Roommate for that matter) are exceptions to that rule, I keep finding new stuff that I like---case in point OK Go--- and I just keep on evolving musically……….and I'm OLD. So I guess maybe age really is in one's head.

And this is good news since I will be celebrating another birthday soon.

My only problem is I only listen to NPR, so I only hear the news stories about shit like this and don't actually hear the new music that I would love if I only listened to it. I need to do something about that, but I'm kind of a news junky. Looks like it's time for rehab.
