From The Desk Of OK Go’s Damian Kulash: A Watch That Has A Laser Attached To It (And Other Good Ideas Had While Drinking)

OKGoThis past winter was an eventful time for OK Go, between the release of third album Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, disputes with EMI over its YouTube videos and an eventual split with the label and the creation of Paradacute Records. But even after all the dust settled, the music is still stuck in our heads—because OK Go definitely still has it. Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky brings us little nuggets of unbridled optimism set to catchy pop beats with Damian Kulash’s funky falsetto soaring overhead—and, in typical OK Go fashion, some of the most awesome videos ever made. OK Go is taking time between dates on its worldwide tour supporting the LP in order to guest edit magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with Kulash.

Watch

Kulash: My neighbor Jamie came up with this one. He’s a pretty smart guy, even when he’s not drunk. Drunken ideas get a bad rap. Sure, the majority are crap, but isn’t that true of everything? In the last few years alone, I invented a wrestling move (The “IC Dub Trubs” or “Intercontinental Double Trouble”), joined a roller-skating gang and digitally purchased every last song produced by the new jack swing movement. I can assure you, I wouldn’t have a track record like that with seltzer.

    That’s funny because I’d been wanting to ask if you had been dipping into the waters of New Jack Swing.
