Alternative rockers and viral video darlings OK Go filled The Neptune Theatre last week for a night of audiovisual entertainment.  Still touring on behalf of Hungry Ghosts, released last year, one question remains: what was OK Go’s cumulative confetti budget? SMI’s Alex Crick caught the flagrant recycling-must mayhem, and we share the results here.

Christine Mitchell has been poring over album liner notes pretty much since she acquired the skill of reading, and figured out the basic structure of rock songs at an early age. Whether it’s the needle popping into the first groove of the record, the beeps that signal the beginning (or end) of a cassette tape, or digital numbers ticking off the seconds from zero, music brings Christine happiness, ponderous thought, opportunities for almost scientific study, and sometimes a few tears. When she started attending live shows two decades ago, a whole new piece of the puzzle clicked in and she has been hooked ever since.
