The Greatest Song We Ever Gave Away For Free A Few Days Before Christmas in 2011

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Ho ho ho, happy Hanukkah, glorious Kwanzaa, and bitchin’ Boxing Day all. It also would’ve been former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson’s 99th birthday today, too. So there’s that. Anyway you slice it, ’tis the season.

To celebrate all of this and so much more, we offer a free mp3 of “The Greatest Song I Ever Heard,” originally recorded for Morgan Spurlock’s POM Wonderful Presents… The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. One more thing you don’t have to buy this week. And if you already bought it–thanks!–and enjoy this free app that involves battling a giant man-eating holiday fruitcake.

Dreaming of Brazil

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Did anybody else have that weird dream about OK Go randomly showing up at gas stations in Brazil in a mirrored truck, playing a few songs, and disappearing into the night? And showing one of those gigs on the internet, where the band was replaced by swirling and pulsing Twitter and Facebook avatars? You’re not alone! While Japanese scientists are hard at work trying to visualize people’s dreams using some new-fangled brain-scanners, here’s some tangible, streamable proof that all of the above actually happened.

You can watch the tweet-pixelated evidence below or go relive the dream by inserting your social selves (and those of your friends) into an interactive OK Go live video. Other compelling and convincing documentation includes this Facebook photo gallery.
