Ok, But What About Your Music?

You gotta root for the guys in Ok Go. Reading a recent Billboard article OK Go struggle to turn Web buzz into salesabout how they're trying to make their video's pay for them in soundscan numbers, I began to fill sorry for them. They seem like nice guys who became You Tube stars. But as we've seen with Snakes On A Plane, internet hysteria doesn't always translate into foot traffic. So, it wasn't until their MTV Awards show appearance that they got onto the Itunes chart. But what about their album. Oh No is not their debut, it's their second CD. And it where's it's Power-Pop influences proudly. Name dropping Surfer Rosa and ripping off Cars riffs, all powered by anonymous lead vocals (always a problem with today's Indie Riff Rockers). As "Here It Goes Again" makes clear they deserve to be heard, not just seen.
