#39. OK GO - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky  There's much more to OK GO than just awesome music videos. For one, there's that 'Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky' album they released this year. And two, 2010 was the year that OK Go stood up to the man and formed their own independent label (Paracadute Records), after frontman Damian Kulash in an editorial for The New York Times criticized the band's former record label EMI Music for disabling their YouTube videos from being embedded externally. You can read Kulash's editorial HERE - it's one of the best reads of the entire year. But back to OK Go's awesome third album... 'Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky' is a non-stop emotional roller-coaster - from the heartbroken 'Skyscrapers' to the breathless 'WTF?', OK Go dance everywhere in-between having drawn from the funk of Prince to perfect their musical swagger. OK Go are on top of their game and they've never sounded sexier. MUST-LISTEN: 'Needing/Getting', 'This Too Shall Pass', 'WTF', 'I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe', 'Back From Kathmandu'. YOU WILL LIKE, IF YOU LIKE: Phantom Planet, We Are Scientists, Rooney, Hot Hot Heat, The Bravery... and Sex Bob-omb. MUST-WATCH: OK Go's Rube Goldberg Machine version of their 'This Too Shall Pass' music video...  |
