Ok Go never stops with the awesome music videos

So whatever you may think of Ok Go. Everyone knows that the video for "Here It Goes Again" was really cool. As for the song, I definitely got tired of it. But I first saw the video before it really blew up and I was like that's pretty sweet. But more recently Ok Go released an album in mid January "Of the Blue Color of the Sky." And yet again for the song "This Too Shall Pass," they made a cool music video. Its not a drastically original idea, or anything that hasn't been done, but it's still really entertaining.

My favorite part of the video is when the TV playing "Here It Goes Again" gets smashed by a sledge hammer. Pretty clever Ok Go. One of the funnier things about this is that there are two music videos. Why? I have no clue. And of course the other one is also sweet, check it out too, embedding was disabled so here's a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKythlXAIY. So there it is, I just wanted to share a cool video with everyone. Personally I like the song, I think it's leaps and bounds better than their Here It Goes Again days. As for the rest of the album, I've only given it a short listen so can't make a good judgment but it hasn't sparked anything yet. If you disagree about the song, at least it was entertaining to watch, both times.

Scott's Top Ten of The Decade Continues...

 #4 City of God (2002)

First of all, let it be known that this is a tough movie to watch. It has some of the most terrifying and heartbreaking scenes in cinema.  So… you’ve been warned, not everyone should see this.

The film focuses its unflinching lens on the rampant gang scene on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The story progresses from one generation of killer teens to the next. It is a raw depiction of the underbelly of all those terrible stories you see on the news – filled with heroes, villains, and victims. But not once is the evil not understood by the viewer. We see through beautiful craft just how evil begets evil – we watch with horror as a child is robbed of innocence and given a gun in its stead. It is Lord of Flies tale that is impossible to forget, even if you want to. And I cannot praise the direction and editing of this film enough, more than most movies this one transports you from the couch to the world on screen.

Favorite moment: Maybe it isn’t my favorite, but the scene that always sticks out in my mind is the one where a young boy is peer-pressured into shooting another child in order to be accepted by a gang. Yeah… not a happy moment, but it really encapsulates the tragedy of the whole movie.
