THIS TOO SHALL PASS TOO: You may like OK Go and you may not, but you cannot deny that they make videos that demand your attention. A month or so ago, I posted about their one-shot video for "This Too Shall Pass," as filmed and performed with the Notre Dame marching band. Now here's an entirely different version of the video, featuring mostly the album version of the song (with a really cool cameo by some ambient sound from the video), and the greatest Rube Goldberg machine I've ever seen. When you can make a Rube Goldberg machine that is humorous, visually arresting, occasionally musical, and actually builds to a crescendo (notice how the moving parts get bigger, and the collisions get more explosive), you are at the top of your game.
