From what I understand, bands can no longer make money by 'selling albums', and they must do things to get attention of humans on the internet. Even if u get ppls attention on the internet, it doesn't guarantee that u will make money, so ur best bet is basically to find some corporate sponsor with tons of money to feel like they are 'sponsoring' ur viral product/video/mp3. Even though it cheapens ur product to have a corporate sponsor attached [via Mountain Dew / Converse / Taco Bell], I guess blogs will blog abt u and talk abt the state of the modern mp3 industry.

Anyways, OKGO is some band that went viral in the infancy of youtube video streaming, and unfortunately, ppl have paid attention to them since then, even though they are forgettable alt rock. I think they don't have a record label any more because they wanted to focus on viral videos, so now they had to get Samsung 2 sponsor their viral videos.

Feel sad that the embedded video has less that 7K views.

Hope they help Samsung sell some cameras 2 tweens who want 'HD Content' that 'goes viral'. I think they still resonate with 'the youtube generation', but I don't think those ppl rlly buy music, they just sorta sit on youtube all day and watch tweens covering their favourite songs.

Do u h8 OKGO?
Does OK GO 'get' the modern music industry?
Do u feel bad for them/will they die soon?
Should they just become filmmakers instead of continuing on as a 'band'?
Do u think musicians deserve to make money for viral videos, or just 4 making music?
Should Barry Obama ban Napster/leaked mp3 files?
