1. OK Go – “Here It Goes Again”
Is there anything left to be said about this masterpiece of our era? No. No, there is not. But I hope artists and potential video-makers out there are taking notes — a good, weird idea, an enthusiastic, charismatic performance, and no (money-guzzling) nonsense — that’s all you need.
Mike Doughty is a singer/songwriter, noted recently for smash hits “27 Jennifers” and “Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well.” He led the band Soul Coughing in the 90s, wrote an Aquaman story for DC comics, photographed naked tattooed girls for SuicideGirls.com, published Slanky, a book of poetry, wrote one-act plays for the 24 Hour Company, was a pseudonymous gossip columnist at the New York Press and used to drive an ice cream truck.
He is acclaimed for his lyrics, once described by the New Yorker as having, “…more puzzling allusions than the Cantos of Ezra Pound.” His URL is so obvious that it would be insulting to list it here. He lives in Brooklyn. Check out the world premiere of his new video “Put It Down.”
