Ok Go, how I love thee

OK Go has always had good concepts for videos, in my opinion. Sure, they became popular with their dancing on treadmills video, but before that they had "OK Go in the backyard dancing" for the song "A Million Ways." Then they had the motion camera for "Do What you want" which was cool looking but I can see how it might get sickening after a while. Then they had WTF, with the trail affect, which they utilized very well.

Now, the Notre Dame marching band. When I first heard the idea for the video, "we're making a vid with the marching band" I thought "well, sounds pretty boring" but then I thought they would use the band for formations and such, and it would be kind of cool, but still nothing I hadn't seen before. But they finally put up the video, and I have to say it surpassed my expectations. Pretty cool.

And the song is awesome, too.

Man, I want to go to their concert(s) in France and England. Why must they be on a Tuesday, huh? Can't you be on a friday? a saturday, perhaps? Anything but a tuesday.

Flour is a bit old-fashioned

I was watching Jimmy Fallon last night (a rerun), and besides the amazing reveal from Ian Somerhalder (BOONE IS BACK), I thought this particular joke about flour was funny.

He apparently does a segment where he writes thank you notes to either people or inanimate objects to make a joke. My favorite was this:

"Thank you, flour, for keeping the paper sack container business alive. Don't wanna change your packaging, huh? Gonna keep it in a sack? Whenever I buy you, I feel like I'm Charles Ingalls buying something from Olson's Store on credit."

Next time, Jimmy, it's Olson's Mercantile.
