OK Go is doing the promotional rounds for its Of the Blue Colour of the Sky album, and showed up on David Letterman’s show last night (April 28) to perform “This Too Shall Pass.” Clearly these guys like the song; they've shot two music videos to promote it.
Christopher Weingarten recently commented that the band members couldn’t sell a copy of the album to their grandmothers despite some impressive YouTube views for their videos, and it’s not hard to see why here -- shorn of any visual trickery, this is lumpen, unremarkable rock, aimed squarely at the MOR crowd.
Um, you do know the band a) chose to shoot two videos for the song themselves and b) are their own record label now, right?
This is still a music site, right?
Thanks, tankboy. I amended the post.
