Barack Obama Likes Our Style

In celebration of the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama Jr. to the presidency of the United States Of America, we are delighted to present you this historic video, in which a young bassist talks about meeting our new president, and the wonder and gratitude he experienced upon learning something the mainstream media doesn't want you to know: Barack Obama likes Tim's style. It truly is an exciting day.

A Big Exciting NYC Show To Remind You About Voting

Feb 5th is Super Tuesday, when a bunch of states hold primaries. Feb 4th is Super Monday, when OK Go plays a show to celebrate voting at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. It's being billed as a Voter Awareness Show for Barack Obama, but fans of the rock who aren't fans of Barack should still go. It'll be awesome. Other performers include Nina Person (from the Cardigans) and Craig Wedren and Nathan Larson from Shudder To Think, one of Damian's all-time favorite bands. The boys of Stella host, and word is that a lot of famous people might talk. Get your tickets.

Also, in case this isn't obvious: We think you ought to vote in your primaries. You have our permission to skip school, work, and delay drinking practice to go and pick your leaders. Just remember you probably need to register first. It's real easy. Register now.
