OK Go "Get Over It" from OK Go Live at The Rave Milwaukee, WI Feb 16, 2006 PODCAST EXCLUSIVE!

This was the song -- according to the geniuses at Crapitol Records -- that was supposed to make OK Go huge. Instead it peaked around the mid-30's on the modern rock charts and their first album fizzled. But it's such a great, anthemic tune, and an important part of their live act. What's clear from this performance is that they don't just do a club-sized piss-take of a big rock show -- they really do a big rock show, but for power-pop nerds. Their first album reminded me a lot of Elvis Costello, but their follow-up and general evolution smacks more of Cheap Trick now.

They're a treat to see in person, and not just for the dance routines that have gotten them some minor mainstream success, albeit novelty success. They're top-quality showmen doing terrific music, and I hope they swing back through Madison this year.
