In response to fan uproar over being unable to embed OK Go's YouTube videos, lead singer Damian Kulash wrote the following letter. It's an eye-opening—and discouraging—inside account of how poorly the major labels manage the music you love. (From Gizmodo)

I think the types of music that people like ranges far beyond what is considered currently popular. Although I like a lot of older mainstream music, I also like a number of songs that are unusual or out of the mainstream.

For example, one of my favorite songs is "If I Can Just Get Through The Night" by Sissy Spacek (yes, the actress). Although it didn't chart on the Billboard charts, it has remained one of my favorite songs to this day.

Gilbert O'Sullivan, Prozzäk, Kermit The Frog, Benny Hill, Leslie Pearl, Barry Manilow and Lily Tomlin (in a duet together), The Mountain Goats, Nanci Griffith, Paul Giamatti (the actor), Sherry Lynn, Everything But The Girl, and Valdy are all artists/groups that have released songs that are my favorites, yet few of them would fall into the musical mainstream.

One of the best things about the digital revolution in music is that people can now discover interesting music, both new and old. They are less restricted to just what is on the radio or television. Most of the above artists I happened to stumble upon in ways other than regular radio.

Yeah, some of the acoustic stuff is actually quite good.

Oh heck yeah

Ok, this probably seems pretty weird for a lot of people. But their music is just so amazing and intelligent and at the same time goofy and funny.

The Knife: One hit



I've got a new story now and it goes like this
I took my hand out of my pocket up came a fist
It was headline news
One more abuse
I've got to tell it with a fist
And it goes like this

Ho ho ho ho
Huh huh huh huh

So where's the femininity
The one with skirts and high heels
A shiny sink and home made meals
The one and only way
If you enter you'll stay
Sons and daughters you will breed
As long as you breastfeed
Yeah being a man is a bliss
One Hit one Kiss

Ho ho ho ho
Huh huh huh huh

Then the lights came on, it was all a scene
Bend back, give head it's not pornography
If you do it with lights then it's art you see
If you do it with a twist
Yes, artistically

Ho ho ho ho
Huh huh huh huh

I could do the laundry
The women's work
For a reasonable salary I would wash the world
It wouldn't affect my libido or my self esteem
Don't need to mark my territory
It's all obvious to me
It's manhood's bliss
One Hit one Kiss
Spending time with my family
Like the Corleones

Ho ho ho ho
Huh huh huh huh
