OK GO is a band known more for its videos than its music. The intricately choreographed treadmill routine they did for “Here It Goes Again: is a tough act to follow, but I think this 3 minute homage to the board game “Mousetrap” certainly rises to the challenge. Since this video debuted earlier this week it’s logged more than 2.5 million hits.

The Whites Stripes are calling “RIP-OFF” after the US Airforce airred an ad during the superbowl, which some say (me included) that the theme song is a blatant rip-off of the band’s hit, Fell In Love With a Girl.

Great ad though; think about it:

-People are surfing
-I want to surf
-The ad is for the air force
-Therefore I must join the military

… no holes in THAT logic!

After a positively EPIC SONiC Session, Moby dropped by SONiC Control for a quick chat.  

As you may have heard,  we are hosting a Moby SONiC Session here in our Axe Music Listener Lounge next Friday. Since Moby is an electronic music aficionado and a multi-instrumentalist, a lot of people are curious what a “SONiC Session” might entail.  Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:

• 7:00 - DOORS
• 8:00-8:45 - HANNAH GEORGAS
• 9:00-10:20 - CITY AND COLOUR
