okgo at it again...

i believe that creativity and imagination are a part of the divine fingerprint on humanity--obviously, this can be corrupted and lead to the profane--but, at their best, creativity and imagination contribute to the beautiful expressions of humanity in all areas of art, work, and life.

this is why we are fans* of okgo, an independent rock band that has used a fusion of internet and music video to create unique spins to their music.  type in "okgo" in Youtube and you will see countless videos with their trademark treadmills, to shelter dogs, to marching bands, to time-lapsed video, to toast, and even to the Muppets!

*note: all views, lyrics, and commentary by the band are not necessarily the views of ourselves, our Savior, or Church of God Ministries ;)

their success calculated in millions of views, links, and likes on Youtube and social networking sites has led to corporate interest and sponsorships for their video projects.  first, there was the State Farm Insurance sponsorship of the Rube-Goldberg machine video for their song "This Too Shall Pass," and now the Chevy sponsored "Needing/Getting" video that was alluded to in a Super Bowl advertisement earlier this month.  i had forgotten to look for the video after the game, but i found it today and now share it with you...
