If you haven’t seen OK Go’s new video, it is embedded below. OK Go is the band behind that famous treadmill music video for those of you who have forgotten. Rube Goldberg machines fascinate me. This is probably the most complex one I’ve ever seen.

While the video itself is pretty amazing, it’s even more incredible when you read this article about its making. Here’s the part I was wondering about:

The video was shot by a single Steadicam, but it took more than 60 takes, over the course of two days, to get it right. Many of those takes lasted about 30 seconds, Sadowsky said, getting no further than the spot in the video where the car tire rolls down a ramp.

You can also see a bunch of videos about the making of the video if reading isn’t your thing.

One last quick update…from what I can tell here are the two most interesting clips from the 52nd Grammys.

Lady GaGa and Elton John:

Eminem, Drake, Lil Wayne and Travis Barker:

Some D.J. mixed Nirvana and Lady Gaga…it’s oddly captivating.

This is text to speech except with singing. I feel like I can sometimes hear some familiarity with some of the words, but I can never place any of them.

Unfortunately all of the copies of this video on YouTube have embedded video disabled. You can see Eminem’s video here. The song is meh, but the video is awesome. Here is a list of all the people it makes fun of:

Bret Michaels, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, Tony Romo, Guitar Hero, Amy Winehouse, Sarah Palin, Todd Palin, Britney Spears, Everyone from Star Trek, Lindsey Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Transformers, Ellen DeGeneres, Ellen’s gf, name?, John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston, Peewee Herman, Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, Elvis, and Napoleon Dynamite.

It is possible I missed a few. To be able to make fun of 20 celebrities, 1 movie, 1 tv show and 1 video game in four and a half minutes, and tie it all together, wow.

Discuss: What people / things does he make fun of that I missed?

This quiz is incredibly difficult. I scored 66/100, which is pretty bad considering this is the only type of music I ever listen to. A couple of hints: first, listen to the clip in its entirety, second don’t look at any of the possible answers until you listen to the clip, third go with your gut.

This was surprisingly funny.

According to a very poor source, it is going to happen starting in the Summer of 2009. I will believe it when a reputable news source says something about it, but I am posting this so everyone doesn’t send me this link constantly.

Check out the list here. If you happen to have an incredibly fast internet connection like the place where I am currently staying, this could be a great way to boost your music collection

This is way better than the previous video.
