Pre-Purchase For A Bright New Tomorrow
The new, live album from OK Go, in its natural habitat…
The long, harsh winter-of-the-countdown-to-the pre-order-for-180/365 is over. And what glorious spring! That’s right, our pre-sale starts today and we’ve got a bunch of new goodies we think you’ll like. Like what? Like 15 remastered tracks of live OK Go mixed by Dave Fridmann, recorded across 180 shows last year and shipped in a beautiful 6-panel 100% recyclable CD case. A brand new t-shirt. A limited edition, signed book of behind-the-scenes tour photos. And, of course, a free tube of authentic OK Go confetti with every (physical) order.
Hell, we’re even selling the suits the guys wore on stage. Since cleaned. Probably. Plus bonus songs available right this very second (as well as many other seconds in the future) free with every order. The goodies ship from the band’s very own Paracadute label beginning June 21st but pre-sale has begun, so go get yourself some.
The brief, delicious countdown until confetti deployment begins now.
So, why is it a TUBE of confetti? Why not a plastic egg full of confetti? Or a confetti-filled stripey sock?* Is this just a way to get rid of all the packaging tubes from Bunny and Dora’s extensive secret stockpile of tennis balls?
By the way, the secret is that the dogs don’t fetch the tennis balls when they’re thrown. When Damian’s not looking they sneak them into their stash buried behind the Bromeliads in the back yard! Now you know.
Seriously, though, why a TUBE? It seems to me confetti needs a better conveyence than a TUBE. Or at least, a better word than TUBE… how about Cylinder? That’s better, isn’t it? I’ll be receiving a Cylinder of Confetti with my pre-order from Paracadute, thank you!
*(Also seriously) OK Go SHOULD SELL SOCKS! I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until it occurs. I, for one, probably have more than enough T-shirts, but there is no such thing as too many socks! You could sell cuffed sport socks with “OK” on one and “Go” on the other. But it’s not all about the band logo. You have a whole untapped market in merch staring you right in the …feet! Think of the possibilities: Primary colored dress socks! Furry anklets with LED accents! Neon, Stripey, Paint-splattered, and, of course CONFETTI-print.
Think about it (no TUBE socks, though, OK?).
PS- Please pardon my typo. I can spell. I just got a bit over-excited about the pre-order. And socks. And the fact that I will finally be seeing OK Go soon. As in SATURDAY! Everything is Awesomesocks at the moment!
YES! OK GO SOCKS!
Does anyone know what the bonus songs are, and are they still available when you purchase the album from the Okgo.net site?
I didn’t realize they had bonus tracks here and already got the album from iTunes, but I’d probably buy it again here if I got more tracks . . .
