OK Go

Over the 365 days of 2010, the guys played 180 live shows around the world. What better way to celebrate 180/365 and all the hometowns the band did and didn’t visit then by creating a wondrous, digital storm of swirling on-screen confetti made up photos of your hometowns? To get that ol’ fashioned digital confetti whooshing around ye olde computer screen with maximum snowglobe-like density, we’re going to need participation. That is, lots and lots (and lots) of pictures.

So we’re having a contest. For every 180 brightly colored/handpicked-by-you photos we get we’ll be giving away a 180/365 t-shirt package. (180 shows. 180 photos. Get it?) Then, at the end of the week, we’ll pick a grand prize winner who will receive Andy’s red tour suit. No fooling: the final “The Suit” package can be yours, stains and all. The more digital confetti you upload–your favorite houses, flower beds, store windows, cars–the cooler it all looks, and the more chances you have to win.

180/365, the brand new live album, is here. And by “here,” we actually mean “everywhere.” This is not a test. Repeat: this is not a test. If you aren’t already blasting your pre-ordered mp3s, you can purchase 180/365 at your friendly local record shop, order it from our online store with a variety of goody-laden packages, grab it on iTunes, or stream the album in its entirety at Mashable and AOL Spinner.

It was either William Shakespeare or the great literary sage Krusty the Clown who first uttered the immortal phrase, “give a hoot, read a book.” We concur: books are awesome. With that, we very proudly present 180/365: The Book, a volume of gorgeous OK Go tour photos taken by Nathaniel Wood and published in an extremely limited run of 200 signed, softbound copies, available for sale exclusively with OK Go’s new live album, 180/365. Take a good gander below, though note that it only previews a few pages, and the widget makes it look like a hardback book, which it is not…
