Video 1: OK Go in the studio recording KAT.
Why is the song called KAT? It's not, or probably won't be when it's done. But you've got to call it something when you're recording it, so this one is called Back From Kathmandu. It has nothing to do with the actual song, but more with how funny it is to hear Damian call people on the phone and say stupid things in classy accents like "Why hello, dearie, it's me Damian Koooooolash, just back from Kathmandu. How was your trip to the Congo?" I hope that someday it happens to you.

Little Bundles of Joy
It seems silly to talk about blowing next year's
cash when chances are that everyone on this list not named
Tim Nordwind is still shopping for this year. Tim has it easy,
though. He gets his friends and family the exact same
gift every single year. It's a creepy tradition, and one
I invite you to start with a visit to the 100% dragon-free
OK Go store. There's a brand new shirt that's just been unleashed
on the world. Take a gander:

The Rock is Cooking
Happy news indeed. The boys have
handcrafted a brand new batch of badass rock songs and they're
going into the studio to polish them up and put them on wax.
Or tape. Or digitron chips. They're recording the new album
with Dave Fridmann in his secret headquarters somewhere in
upstate New York. Even if you haven't heard of Mr. Fridmann,
you've probably heard his work. He's produced or recorded a
ton of stuff, including two decade's worth of Flaming Lips
albums, MGMT's debut, and excellent music from artists like
Cafe Tacuba, Low, Sleater-Kinney, Sparklehorse, Mercury Rev
and loads of others.

Andy Ross Has A Solo Record
On November 11th, you can have it too. Mr. Ross
records under the name Secret Dakota Ring, producing songs which, as his bio tells us,
hang out somewhere on the "beautifully realized stylistic
extremes of pop." The album is called
Cantarell and the first single is "The Fade To
Black." It's a doozy. Listen to it on his MySpace, read his blog about it on secretdakotaring.com,
and pre-order the whole thing from Insound.com
and seriousbusinessrecords.com.

Damian In Ang Lee's New Movie
Damian has been cast as a long-haired
folk singer in the upcoming Ang Lee movie Taking Woodstock. This may not be the
role Damian was born to play (that's actually a tough cop with
a checkered past, a heart of gold, and a talking donkey) but
it's a pretty good start.

OK Go Rocks The Human Race
Well, the part of it that lives in Los Angeles, anyway. The boys will play a few songs at a kick-off event for the Nike+ Human Race this Wednesday, July 23, outside the Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood at Vine and Selma.
The event starts at 8pm, though the boys will probably not go on exactly then. Rumors that everyone in attendance will be asked to run in place during the show are unconfirmed, as is the much whispered about post-event burning of delicious glazed donuts. That the boys will be there and bringing the rock, however, is absolutely certain, so come on out.
