OK Go Has Done It Again With Another Crazy Music Video


At this point, it shouldn't surprise anyone that OK Go is capable of fantastic music videos. Their latest tune, "The One Moment," is right up on par with anything else they've done, but if you blink, you might miss it entirely.

That's because "The One Moment" uses the shortest amount of time ever filmed for a music video – just 4.2 seconds. 325 events happen in that timeframe, whether it's guitars exploding, water balloons being tossed, or a large flipbook being...well, flipped. The footage is then slowed down to stretch over the full length of the song, sometimes at a slowdown rate of 20,000 percent. The result is something that looks majestic and serves as the perfect backdrop for the dreamlike melodies of the song. Enjoy!

Harry Styles Corrects Fan's Grammar On Poster Mid-Concert





There are some people (generally teenagers) who base a majority of their self-worth on their obsessions; for example, fans of One Direction--cleverly named Directioners--will pick a favorite, and anything that person does is worthy of discussion.

In this case, I'm actually glad there's attention on One Direction.

Harry Styles, most often cited by Directioners as their favorite member of the group, invited a fan with a poster onstage. The sign told Harry he was so nice, but the main reason for the up close and personal visit? To correct her grammar. Awesome. 1D...helping kill word crimes, one poster at a time.

Dances Is A Band You Really Should Be Listening To


Dances is a Brooklyn-based band that is just as catchy as their name would imply. Made up of Trevor Vaz, Sam Stoeltje and David Su, you'll hear everything from punk to rock to Britpop to 60s psych. After releasing their EP Whiter Sands in 2014, the band is set to drop its debut LP Keep Talking on September 4th via Black Bell Records/Gigawatts Records.

If you're anything like me, you enjoy getting a little hyped up before an album releases. Luckily, the band has given us a sneak preview of its "Holy Fool" music video, which you can check out below.

You may have noticed there's finally a new episode of Locally Sourced Joey at the top of this post, too. Trevor was kind enough to take some time to chat with me. You can hear us discuss the finer things in life, from terrible, horrible gigs to fantastic dance moves. Because really, what's more fun than dancing?

It's labeled seven. I only see six. Either way, no one got hurt, so this is hilarious. Enjoy!
