saw PP too but probably not the same show as it was a good while ago.  The Vines aren't so bad on record though methinks, there were a lot more ballads than I was expecting, and their 2 singles still get me going.

I think, pollard, it's about the  lack  of cred.  "Hmm, look at this CD.  Yeah, but it's supposed to be really mainstream -- something the kids like."  I can see that sentence running through some heads in a record store.

And about a year ago, Ok Go played the 9:30 Club twice, with Superchunk opening both nights.  They're both on Merge (and the assumption I made was that Merge was hoping OK would bring in a younger, new audience for the 'Chunk).  
 
 I've never seen Ok...so I have no clue what their show is like.

OK-Go is on Capitol.
 
 I don't think Superchunk opened for them at 9:30, but i could be wrong on that one.

DAMN -- you're right!!  I confuse the two bands because I got their albums at the same time.  I like the Get Up Kids way more -- in fact, I think I've been thinking of them all along!  But I do have Ok Go, and it's okay.  I'm going home now to listen to them both.
 
 Man, suddenly I feel old, and as if I'm losing my mind.  I was thinking of Get Up Kids.  Damn.

Either you are are completely senile, or that was the most elaborate get out of liking one of the worst live acts I have ever seen. Which is it to be?

I must be senile, because I'm listening to Ok Go now and it's fine.  It's catchy, upbeat -- not earth shattering, but got a little jellyfish in there.  
 
 Again, they may suck live, but I like the album.
 
 Get Up Kids are better, and I was thinking of them, but I won't try to back out of my declaration that I like Ok Go.
 
 Hey, we all have guilty pleasures....(though I don't know why this is quite so 'guilty').

Too late.  You've outed yourself.  You're credless.  You might as well hang out with Rhett.

I wonder if Bagster is the only person who is not in some way related to OkGo, that likes OkGo?

I'd like to make an announcement.  Mark E Smith owns and enjoys a Molly Hatchet album.
