Fourteen in Ten in '10

Ah 2010. The year of the double rainbow, and that Old Spice guy. And countless other vague and fading memories. But before we put 2010 to bed completely, we thought we’d roundup some of the Top 10 lists we were featured on in 2010. Because come on, you Google yourself too, right?

“This Too Shall Pass” and “White Knuckles” made it onto Best Song lists at MTV and Metroactive.

The Chicagoist and Copious Notes included “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” on their Best Album lists.

Colorado Daily listed our October 6th show in their Best Concert List.

And Billboard, Canoe, Culture Bully, The Muse in Music, Reel Seo, Rolling Stone, Spinner, and Time all put the Rube Goldberg Machine version of “This Too Shall Pass” on their Top Video lists.

Know of any others? Leave them in the comments…

Update: We managed to break rule number one, which clearly states “before you ever post anything ever, check with your boardies first.” They have compiled a thorough list of top ten lists on the message board. So check it out there…


Yahoo! Block Party & Concert in North Beach

Think how much more interesting this roof will look when we’re all dancing on it.

 
The neighborhood of North Beach won the San Francisco Yahoo! Bus Stop Derby, and subsequently our undying love and adoration. To prove our love, we’ll be playing a free concert this Saturday, February 5, on the roof of the San Francisco Art Institute. Everyone is welcome to stop by for street food, games, philosophical debate, and other surprises (and of course OK Go!).

Doors open at 3:30pm, and the concert starts at 5:30pm. Entrance is FREE, but come early to make sure you get one of the 800 wristbands needed to enter. The party is on the rooftop of the San Francisco Art Institute (the map is below). If you’re in SF, hope to see you there!

Dance With Your City (The OK Go GPS Parade)

On November 17th we paraded through the streets of Los Angeles with a hundred friends, fans, musicians, and merry makers. Using Range Rover’s Pulse of the City app, we checked in along the way and spelled out the words “OK GO” across an 8.5-mile route of LA.

Sound fun? Get involved! Take a journey across your own city and document it any and every way you can. Then send us your footage. We’ll take all the maps, photos, and videos you submit over the next month and use them in the final video for this project in early 2011.

In the mean time, check out all the community-generated media from the parade below. And if you have any photos or videos from the parade, be sure to tag them “okgogps” so they appear below.
