Few bands have ever been helped more by a music video than OK Go. They had faith in their own music when their record label didn't, and they took advantage of internet virality to launch their career. Unique, eye-catching videos continue to be their thing, but the choreographed treadmill routine of “Here It Goes Again” will forever be the legacy of the band among people who only know them in passing. Is it worth going the extra mile to listen to more of their music though? Tune in to find out! If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

In this episode of Intel on AI host Amir Khosrowshahi and Luis Ceze talk about building better computer architectures, molecular biology, and synthetic DNA. Luis Ceze is the Lazowska Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, Co-founder and CEO at OctoML, and Venture Partner at Madrona Venture Group. His research focuses on the intersection between computer architecture, programming languages, machine learning and biology. His current research focus is on approximate computing for efficient machine learning and DNA-based data storage. He co-directs the Molecular Information Systems Lab (misl.bio) and the Systems and Architectures for Machine Learning lab (sampl.ai). He has co-authored over 100 papers in these areas, and had several papers selected as IEEE Micro Top Picks and CACM Research Highlights. His research has been featured prominently in the media including New York Times, Popular Science, MIT Technology Review, Wall Street Journal, among others. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, a Sloan Research Fellowship, a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship, the 2013 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award, the 2020 ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes Award and UIUC Distinguished Alumni Award. In the episode, Amir and Luis talk about DNA storage, which has the potential to be a million times denser than solid state storage today. Luis goes into detail about the process he and fellow researchers at the University of Washington along with a team from Microsoft went through in order to store the high-definition music video “This Too Shall Pass” by the band OK Go onto DNA. Luis also discusses why enzymatic synthesis of DNA might potentially be environmentally sustainable, the advancements being made in similarity searches, and his role in creating the open source Apache TVM project that aims to use machine learning to find the most efficient hardware and software combination optimizations. Amir and Luis end the episode talking about why multi-technology systems with electronics, photonics, molecular systems, and even quantum components could be the future of compute. Academic research discussed in the podcast episode: The biologic synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid Towards practical, high-capacity, low-maintenance information storage in synthesized DNA DNA Hybridization Catalysts and Catalyst Circuits A simple DNA gate motif for synthesizing large-scale circuits A DNA-Based Archival Storage System Random access in large-scale DNA data storage Landscape of Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies Clustering Billions of Reads for DNA Data Storage Demonstration of End-to-End Automation of DNA Data Storage High density DNA data storage library via dehydration with digital microfluidic retrieval Probing the physical limits of reliable DNA data retrieval Stabilizing synthetic DNA for long-term data storage with earth alkaline salts Molecular-level similarity search brings computing to DNA data storage DNA Data Storage and Near-Molecule Processing for the Yottabyte Era

Modern Amusement is an alternative rock project based in Minneapolis, Minnesota formed by Sam Black. Inspired by such alt-rock gods as Weezer, Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy, Modern Amusement strives to deliver the hooky and heavy power pop with nerdy but earnest lyrics for the outcast in all of us. The band has recently worked with Dan Konopka, drummer of the famed rock group OK Go, who produced and played drums on their debut album released in May 2021.Official Website: https://iamsam789.wixsite.com/modernamusementSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6doXqWgGrY9EeqjhXNY2wkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern_amusementband/

Mid-90s. Chicago. Bands across the city were swept up in a record company feeding frenzy the likes of which we'd never see again. You know the names of some of the bands, as a handful were able to establish a fairly large footprint. Others have sadly faded into the ether.   Somewhere closer to the latter of those two distinctions is one of my favorite artists of that era: Pulsars… a band that got one album on Almo sounds, the label started by the guys who founded A&M Records.   Almo did okay out of the chute with a band called Garbage in 1995, and it served to reason that perhaps Pulsars… Dave and Harry Trumfio… would follow down that road to success when their debut came out in 1997.   Alas, they only got one album out of Almo, and their plans for world domination quietly fizzled out at the turn of the century.   Well, they're back. Kinda. Lost Transmissions is a collection of song versions that Almo rejected, some unreleased stuff and general stuff that's been sitting on the shelf.   Joining me tonight is Pulsar Dave Trumfio,  a guy whose career as a music producer started before Pulsars put out their album, and has continued to skyrocket ever since.  He's worked with Wilco, OK GO, the Mekons, Built to Spill, Pigface, My Morning Jacket, the Rentals, Grandaddy, and Wayne Kramer.

Christophe and I met in an online mixer for podcasters early on in the pandemic and immediately connected. This guy is awesome... We developed a total bromance!He has a mini-documentary about his life,  is a surfing addict, professional drummer, journalist, audio story producer, actor, stuntman, entertainer, businessman.He toured the US and Europe for 6 years and opened up for Iggy Pop, Motion City Soundtrack, My Chemical Romance, Ok GO, and more.In the TV world he has worked on or acted in Twin Peaks, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Oz: The Great And Powerful, Fresh Off The Boat, My Dinner With Herve,  and Insidious 4.Oh and before I forget,  he is also is the host of I'm Kind Of A Big Deal Podcast.Here is the kicker, Christophe is only 4'4” tall due to a rare form of dwarfism called Cartlidge Hair Hypoplasia. He powerfully sheds light on how short-statured people navigate an environment not made for them, what struggles they face, and why it's important to hear stories from their perspective.But one thing is true about him, he is a really big deal!https://www.instagram.com/christophezd/https://christophezd.comJason Wasser Therapist/CoachOnline Tele-Therapy & Coaching

The virtuoso trombonist, arranger, and cofounder of Bonerama and Mulebone has also recorded with a laundry list of stars, including Sheryl Crow, Maceo Parker, R.E.M., and Tori Amos. Having cut his teeth in the Harry Connick Jr. Big Band, he's more recently served as an arranger/producer with his own Levee Horns. These productions have included concerts for Blackbird Presents such as the Last Waltz 40 tour, Mavis Staples, Merle Haggard, and Dr John, and featured the legendary Don Was as musical director. It seems like Mark can work with almost anyone. Tonight that's put to the test when he joins the Troubled Men. Topics include cicadas, the oldest woman, the end of school, rental returns, Mother's Day, prison listeners, a provocative name, high school, Richard Erb, Loyola U., Dave Ferrato, Rum Boogie, a termite swarm, Brian O'Neill, Charlie Brent, Luther Kent and Trick Bag, George Porter Jr., Jon Langford, OK GO, Eric Traub, live dates, and much more.

Hey Geeks, this week we talk about more nonsense where studios are turning down good stories. The innocent nature of Anime. PS5 had an update and it didn't activate the one thing gamers really need. PS5's SSD was overhyped ... even by us. We speculate on why won't Sony give NVMe internal expansion to the public? Scalpers continue to make sells numbers look good for companies, but all things worse for us. Days Gone isn't getting a sequel, but it's not because it didn't sell well. Sony is making questionable decisions. We also give our thoughts on the movie "Nobody," some more Anime shows and an update on what we think so far about "Invincible."       Close: "Invincible" by OK Go

Check out the April Vanish Magic Magazine: https://vanishmagic.com  FEATURE TOPIC: Creativity III - How Magicians Apply Creativity To Their Shows Connecting the dots and putting it all together In the past two episodes on creativity, we’ve talked about how we capture ideas and our own personal rules for creativity. The idea in steps 1 and 2 is to just let ideas run wild, record them and validate them with your own rules.  If your original objective through all this was to make a virtual show.  You probably now have a list of tricks and concepts you are more than excited to share.  So let's dive into that. But FIRST: One VERY Important aspect of CREATIVITY that we haven’t yet discussed is EXPLORING AND LEARNING COMPLETELY unrelated interests-- seeing what other industries are doing and how it can apply to magic You CANNOT drive down the same road for 20 years and expect to see new things.  Take roads less travelled. Putting it all together: Remind yourself of your objective Make a new virtual magic show?Design a new website?Design a sales deck for virtual shows? Remind yourself who you are and what you want to say. How does it all connect? I remember first starting out with my virtual show - it was a display of tricks. No message and overtime I figured that messaging out. But I have also played with the structure of my virtual show and the flow of tricks.  The first thing I look at is what props are needed before and after, what am I left with after a trick is done? Can those props/items be connected to the next piece of magic? TRANSITIONS IN MAGIC ARE IMPORTANT!  A true sign of a POLISHED MAGICIAN can be found in their TRANSITIONS! Show Structure The second thing to look at is the overall flow of the show.  Start strong, end strong.  Let everything slowly build in the middle.  How can be creative specifically with your TARGET AUDIENCE? Finally, think about your target audience.  Does everything fit with them? Connect with them? Relates with them? This is where I’ll go back through and punch up all the little details or even remove something!

This week we're discussing the reason we even HAVE the VMAs. Does anyone else remember the sheer absurdity of Early 2000's music videos? The giant chicken leg in Ludacris' - Stand Up, a squid fucking a space ship in The Darkness' - I Believe in a Thing Called Love, and the fancy (treadmill) footwork of Ok Go's - Here it Goes...all quintessentially early 2000's music video culture! Enjoy!

What if I told you that it's possible to find grace and flow in the middle of chaos? What if I said you could learn how to dance in liminal space and be a rock star, a liminal kind of rockstar. It's all about releasing expectation and connecting to the things that matter the most. Music by Terry Hughes Links: S1E9 COVID-19 A Ritual for Flow Upside Down & Inside Out OK Go - Upside Down & Inside Out BTS - How We Did It Full Transcript We're nearing the end of the year. It's been 9-12 months in the COVID space, depending on what part of the world you're in. And we're not done. What if I told you that it's possible to find grace and flow in the middle of chaos? What if I said you could learn how to dance in liminal space and be a rock star, a liminal kind of rockstar. It's all about releasing expectation and connecting to the things that matter the most. This is Shame Piñata. I’m Colleen Thomas. Welcome to Shame Piñata, where we talk about creating rites of passage for real-life transitions. I've been thinking a lot lately about peace and grace and COVID sanity. I was struck by something I heard from recently from Dietician and Chef Alicia Connor. She said, "Let go of the past. Accept the now. Hang tight." There's so much wisdom in that. Because we can't go back. Even though we might be wishing with every fiber of our being for restrictions to be lifted and life to go back to normal, really, there's no going back. We've come so far in this weird COVID journey that we know things will never be the same. They'll just be new and different at best. Today we're going to break down Alicia's statement and spend some time reflecting on each part of it. We'll look at what letting go can mean, both in terms of COVID and in terms of regular life. We'll explore the now, with all of its discomfort and liminality. And we'll talk about what hanging tight in the strangeness of that now can be like, and how we can find our balance there. As we move toward the end of the calendar year and those of us in the northern hemisphere deepen into the winter season, the stage is set to support us in a natural process of letting go. Winter is a wonderful teacher for rest and hibernation, releasing what's ready to fall away with the leaves and rest beneath the snow. At the same time the winter holidays focus us on light, life and connection, the earth grows quiet. If we create some time to sit in the quiet, maybe even in the darkness which begins so early now, and notice what's ready to be released, we may find old things, old beliefs, old hurts, hard feelings that are still hanging around from old relationships, bits and bobs we haven't forgiven others for (or forgiven ourselves for). And we might even find some deeper things like old blankets of shame we've walked around in for years, or things we've carried that maybe aren’t even ours. Letting go can mean many things. Letting go can mean honoring ourselves for holding these things, honoring the people at the other end of cords, grudges or miscommunications. Letting go can mean laying some things down, letting them drop into the earth. Releasing attachments. It can also mean releasing expectations. Expectations for a return to normalcy, expectations for simple answers to the complexity of our world today. It can mean allowing the mandala of this moment to exist, all things existing at the same time in the same place. Happy things, joyful things, sad things, heart-wrenching things... all woven together as part of the whole. Letting go is important for our mental health, our nervous systems, and our basic ability to cope with change. Releasing any rigidity in our body, our mind, and our heart can help us soften and flow with what actually is. But as we've been exploring this season on Shame Piñata, being in the now is not always comfortable or fun or even doable. We may find, when we try to quiet our mind or body that we're quickly distracted by thoughts or sensations. Similar distractions may pop up when we learn of some new scary fact or hear a hard story. Our nervous systems protect us. It strives to keep us in balance and to block out overwhelm, at least mine does. Sometimes if something is just too much, or there's been too much intensity for too long, I kind of leave the room. My eyes glaze over. The person I'm with knows I'm not really listening anymore. I'm just beyond my tolerance level at that moment. This is normal. Especially now. I'd love it if we could give ourselves permission, and give others around us permission, to stop for a moment when we pop a nervous system fuse and take a break. Maybe take a breath. Because resistance to overwhelm is actually a healthy and sane response to a crazy situation. The thing about the now is that it's sort of timeless, right? It's "this now moment", which makes it both a single moment and all time and space at once. How do we make sense of a long string of "this now moments"? We can get kind of lost. It all can become sort of gelatinous. Most of us are used to a schedule or a rhythm of events.... this could be daily... this could be annual. We're used to making sense of things through life rhythms. Summer travel plans, weekly health routines, a daily schedule of meeting or other events. Liminality itself can be kind of brutal. Marking time, floating... it's almost like we're treading water while we hang out waiting to see how things will land. I was thinking about navigating liminality and an image popped in my head from a music video by the band OKGO. Stick with me here because I know this is a bit of a jump. If you haven't seen the OKGO video for Upside Down & Inside Out, you need to. Not only because it will help illustrate my point, but also because it's an amazing video. It's the only music video I've ever seen that was filmed in zero gravity, excepting of course Commander Chris Hadfield singing Space Oddity on the International Space Station. When I think of liminality, I see the OKGO band members swimming around the inside of a plane as it flies in parabolas in the skies over Moscow. The video was filmed on a jet plane that was flying up and down in great sweeps called parabolas. Each parabola gave the band 27 seconds of weightlessness to perform a piece of their zero g choreography. They filmed the video in one take as the plane completed 8 parabolas, pausing in place in between weightless peaks and then cutting out the paused sections. The video was directed by lead singer Damian Kulash and his sister Trish Sie. In one of the many behind the scenes videos, the two spoke about the process the band went through in learning to move around in a zero gravity environment. Damian said, "Most people's response to weightlessness is just to start swimming," to which Trish added, "It takes some time to train your body not to flail around. Kicking and paddling when you're in the air is not the same as kicking and paddling in water. You just look panicked." And there are many frames of the band members kicking and flailing around, looking pretty uncomfortable in their first test flights. But by the time they filmed the video, they had found their way around and learned how to glide here or push off that thing to head over there. They were doing complex choreography in periods which bridged the divide from double gravity into weightlessness. They moved almost as efficiently as the aerial dancers they brought in as flight attendants. I share this image with you to illustrate that it takes some time to find our grace and flow in liminality. We're not born to it. We're used the reliable gravity of our everyday lives. When that basic force is gone, we can feel lost within the task of simply moving from point A to point B. But once we get it, we can do it. We can even find grace in liminality. And as song says, "Gravity's just a habit that you're pretty sure you can't break." So here we are hanging tight. In this moment. And now in this moment. How can we support ourselves in keeping on going as the moments go by? Here's a simple ritual sketch you might try out and adapt in any way that support your current situation. So first we might take a deep breath and sit with the concept of centering. What does centering feel like today? What is center? Where is center? And then we might ground down into the earth and allow our bodies to land and quiet a bit. As we sit in the stillness, we can begin to notice any energetic cords we are connected to, cords that others may have placed on us, cords we may have put out into the world to keep track of things or to keep our balance. Things we love. Things we fear. Things we're attached to. We can notice those and let them dissolve, connecting instead to ourselves and to the earth, growing a bit heavier as we connect again down. Amongst the cords we may find expectations or attachments to outcomes. Rigid expectations we might have for ourselves or for others. Rigidity. Need. Attachment. We can play with releasing those, just play, and see what it feels like to be floating safely in the now. Then we might call to mind a place where we feel safe and good. Maybe a place we've been, or a place we've seen pictures of. A place where there are no worries. A place where we can vision and dream for a bit. And in this place we can ask ourselves, "What's important? What do I know in my core? What's one thing that really matters to me?" and see what comes. And as images arise, we can quietly let them wash over us. Things we love. Things that matter. Things that define us because of our unwavering connection to them. Timeless things. True things. Core things. And we can welcome these things into our consciousness and thank them for being part of our life and our heart. And then we might make sure we're still connected to the good earth, take a few deep breaths, and return to the room where we can do some journaling about how to create more connection to those things on a daily basis. How to let them become our anchors during this floaty, liminal time while we're still paddling around in zero gravity. We can't go back. And there's no forward to go to yet. So for now, we wait. And we float, and we Zoom, and we knit or bake, and wash our hands, and wear masks and make thoughtful choices. There's kind of really just the now. There is simultaneously no return to what was, to the life we had before COVID, and no next life yet. Let go of the past. Accept the now. Hang tight. Our music is by Terry Hughes.

Sam's epic New Year's Eve story gets interrupted by Brad's wife, Brad and Eric tell CC's second hand stories, and a story about a fire alarm bathroom break.

Election Day is next Tuesday, November 3rd. It cannot be ignored - How the US will vote next week will have global consequences. What does the outcome look like as we see it just before Election Day, and how on Earth did we get here to this one single decision that will shape what feels like everything for generations to come? In our search for understanding (and peace of mind) we pose all of our concerns, worries, and questions to one of the leading experts in US politics and US climate policy, John Podesta. John Podesta served as White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton, served as an advisor to President Barack Obama, and was Chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. With 52 years in presidential politics, and with the experience of running a campaign against Republican candidate Donald Trump, we sit down for an insightful view on what chances Democratic candidate Joe Biden has of winning the presidency this time around, as well as a forecast of what we should expect next week on Election Day. Stick around after the conversation to hear a musical performance from the band OK Go!   ---   Climate Power 2020 Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube   ---   OK Go YouTube | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook   ---   Check out OK Go's music video for "All Together Now" Here.
