Did anyone ever actually PLAY Mousetrap? We used to set it up and watch the contraption operate, but I don’t remember ever actually playing the game. ---

The first time I ever saw them was on a Paste Magazine video sampler, their video for “A Million Ways” that Trish Sie (the sister of one of the band members) choreographed, and which was apparently intended for practice, not distribution. But they ended up liking it, & so (rightly) released it. Trish Sie also came up with the idea for, and choreographed, produced & directed the treadmill video (so, full credit to her).

I can’t believe you got it in one take either, Tim. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Br_l_3qDgMw/maxresdefault.jpg "Yeah, we’ve still got it. And it’s a damn good thing we do: BRAND-NEW video dropping on 4/11. Nice.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br_l_3qDgMw) ---

Thanks for posting this!! The first video of theirs I ever saw was “This Too Shall Pass,” which is still one of my favorites. That was a one-off, but then I rediscovered them during the pandemic and really like the videos for “The One Moment” (current favorite), “Obsession,” “Needing/Getting,” “I Won’t Let You Down,” and “The Writing’s On The Wall”. And this thread just inspired me to book tickets to see them live next month. 😊 ---

I’m sure many of you have seen this, but…while the treadmill video is fantastic, doing it in one take in front of your high school peers is majestic. [OK Go - Here It Goes Again Granbury High School](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq7r3F1SoX0) ---

They really are terrific and it helps that while I am not a huge fan of their music, it does seem to fit really well to their videos. ---

New BTS video just dropped, and now I finally get the Meta/Ray Bans connection, and Tim’s final words in the original. Obvious that some of the shots in this were from earlier takes or just rehearsals.

Today I went and did some errands. On the way home I turned on the radio in the car, tuned to NPR; I was half listening to it when I suddenly realized – they were interviewing OkGo. ---
