So these have made the rounds on the interwebs the last couple of weeks, but if you haven't seen them it's totally worth a few minutes out of your day.
They made two excellent versions of a video for the same song, "This Too Shall Pass". I really like the song itself, but the videos...you'll just have to watch.
The first is the "RGM" version (Rube Goldberg Machine). I have no idea how many takes this required, but judging from the amount of paint on their coats it was quite a few. That comment will make sense at the end of the video.
The second is a one-take video with the Notre Dame marching band. I can't decide which one I like more. Embedding was disabled, so click on the photo...
...or follow this link.
We bought their album, and it's a really enjoyable blend of pop and funk. Some of it sounds very Prince-like. Check it out some time.

Nice! You might check out "pitagora suichi" on youtube if you geek out on RGMs...
While I don't think Kylie's song Come Into My World is anywhere as good as OKGo's, I do appreciate the similarities and the ingenuity.
I have to admit I'm torn as to which version of This Too Shall Pass I like since I still have a soft spot for Tusk.
Prince-like?
Prince-like?!
Prince-like!?!
As we used to say in DeSoto, don't write checks your ass can't cash, Steinmetz!
Fine, Alan. I give you "White Knuckles".

We could compromise on "Prince-inspired."
Why you gotta bitch-slap the man with semantics?
