We're Going On Tour With The Fray

The Fray have cordially invited OK Go to join them on a quick jaunt across America, and OK Go has happily accepted. It's going to be the best prom ever. Tour dates are up. Buy your tickets now, because they will sell out fast. And that's a promise.

Do What You Want (Wallpaper Version) on YouTube & TRL

The new OK Go video debuted yesterday on MTV's TRL with all-day premieres on MTVu and MTV Hits. That was pretty awesome. But like beauty and grace, the flavor of that awesomeness will fade with time, unless you vote for it on TRL many, many times. (Voting for beauty and grace is strictly optional).

In the meantime watch DWYW (PV) right here:

New OK Go Video Debuts On TRL and The Many MTVs

Huge news! The new OK Go video for "Do What You Want" will debut tomorrow (thurs, 2/15) on MTV's TRL with all-day premieres on MTVu and MTV Hits. You'll also be able to see mini clips of it between shows on MTV and MTV2. Remember to wear your helmet, lest your precious mind be blown.

Do us a favor and tune in to TRL tomorrow. And then do us a hundred favors and vote for Do What You Want many, many times.

Damian's Grammy Acceptance Speech

Because the video category is one of the 70 trillion that aren't televised you didn't get to see the boys thank their strength, their cunning, and Jamie Foxx's grandmother. Not that they would have, of course. That's my daydream, not theirs. Instead, Damian got all excited and thanked his sister, Trish. And then he did a back flip into leg splits, to a roar of applause.

Since he couldn't give his full speech yesterday, he did it this morning. From LAX. Here it is, just for you:

As MP3: doiop.com/okgogrammy_mp3
As Windows Media: doiop.com/okgogrammy_asx
As Real Media: doiop.com/okgogrammy_rm

Also, the new OK Go video for "Do What You Want" will debut this Thursday, 2/15/07 on MTV's TRL, with additional all day premieres on MTV Hits and MTV U. Now that's exciting. Tell your friends.

Thanks for all of your support. You're great.

Awesome!

OK GO WON!

Forget the XM thing.  OK Go already won.  That's right.  They won!!!

I'd like to thank the recording academy, Damian's strength, and Tim's cunning.  This is intensely, intensely, intensely awesome.

Listen To The Pre-Awards on XM Radio Free

Apparently channel 200 on XM Radio is broadcasting the pre-awards ceremony, which is happening right now. So if you'd like to find out who's going to win for best liner notes and best art director and, of course, best f'ing video, you can go to xmro.xmradio.com and sign up for a free trial. It's easy.

Tomorrow We Will Be Grammy Winners

Or maybe Grammy Losers. Either way, the boys have been nominated and the awards are tomorrow. You should watch, not because you'll get to see them win (the Music Video Grammy is presented earlier in the day) but because you'll get to see The Pussycat Dolls beat up Keane. Watch the Grammy Awards tomorrow!

Troubadour Show on Westwood One Radio

Apparently Westwood One radio stations will be broadcasting OK Go's performance at the Troubadour in Los Angeles sometime this Monday. No more information has been forthcoming, but if it does come forth, you'll find it here. Or maybe here.

Important Info About London Show

We just got new information about the show at KOKO on Sunday. It turns out that all fans under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Over 18s should have an ID ready. Anyone under 14 and all orphans between 14 and 18 will be denied admittance. Refunds are available at the point of purchase prior to the show. Sorry if this changes anything for you.

OK Go Loves JJJ

And JJJ loves OK Go.  Or at least JJJ's listeners do.  Triple J, Australia's rock radio megabehemoth has placed "Here It Goes Again" at number 14 on their list of the 100 hottest songs of 2006.  Thanks to everyone who voted.  Here's the full list, which you can read while listening to all six hundred hours of the original broadcast.  It takes a while to get there but you'll be richly rewarded with songs by PB&J and Lilly Allen landing just before OK Go.

Here It Goes Again (UK Surf Mix) on iTunes, Grey's Anatomy

Last summer the boys did a slowed down version of Here It Goes Again in their basement. Last week it ended up on Grey's Anatomy. Today it can land in your iPod. It's the UK Surf Mix and it's up on iTunes. Buy it right here.

Living With The NME

Here It Goes Again has been nominated for an NME award for Best Video.  It should be an exciting contest as Robbie Williams is, for once, not eligible for Villain Of The Year.  Vote for the boys at nme.com/awards.  You'll have to register first, but don't complain--that's just how democracy works.
