Exercising their silly genius A brilliant bit of treadmill choreography has the video for OK Go burning up the Internet. Set to the band's single Here It Goes Again, it features eight treadmills and some fancy footwork. VH1's Top 20 Countdown premiered it this week at No. 11 after being on the channel for only a short time, and on YouTube.com, the clip has been viewed more than a half-million times. Low-tech brilliance is becoming OK Go's trademark. With more than 9-million downloads, the band's A Million Ways video of strutting and posing started a dance craze last summer and was widely downloaded. Not bad for a video shot in lead singer Damian Kulash's back yard as a joke. The band hinted that it was up to something with its next video when Kulash told MTV News this year, "I can only tell you that it's similar to A Million Ways because it's a single-camera shot. And it will blow your brain straight out of your head." See it for free at www.youtube.com.
