OK Go "Oh Lately It's So Quiet" (16.4 MB) from Oh No High Noon Saloon Madison, WI March 13, 2007 PODCAST EXCLUSIVE!

One of the many pieces of unnecessary branded swag that Jack Daniel's handed out before the show was a light-up pen. This pen is designed such that when you press the button at the end -- the kind of button many pens have -- it lights up, but the pen tip doesn't emerge. You have to swivel the end to get the pen out, which is a totally brilliant design.

Anyway, when I saw it I decided that it would be awesome to ironically hold up during a ballad, like maybe this song. My plans were thwarted, however, when the band asked that everybody hold up their phones, cameras and whatever during the second verse, which they obligingly did. So I filmed, while Emily held the pen up non-ironically amidst a sea of technology. And now we let the cats play with the pen.
