Phillyist Playlist: OK Go & Oppenheimer at the TLA

It's been two and a half years—practically an eternity in Internet meme time—since OK Go (MySpace) came out with everyone's latest favorite YouTube video, for "Here It Goes Again." As fast as bands come and go these days, especially in the case of ones who get huge thanks to the Internet, you might have forgotten about OK Go entirely. But they were rocking for years before we fell in love with their synchronized treadmills, and they're still around years after. In fact, OK Go is gearing up for the release of their follow-up to the breakout . Their yet-untitled third album will be out sometime in late summer, but you can catch a sneak peak of some of the material from it tonight, when OK Go kicks off a headlining tour at the TLA. We've seen OK Go once before, and had a blast, so we expect it to be a good time.

With so many amazing concerts in such a short period of time, it's inevitable that you'll run into a few doozies. Unfortunately for me, that doozy was Sunday night at North Star Bar. Earlier in the summer, I saw the band MAE open for Ok Go and The Fray at the Tweeter Center. Their six-song set was fun and enjoyable, but not completely engaging. I faulted the venue, crowd, and the fact that MAE had...

On of our favorite shows this summer was the MAE/Ok Go/The Fray concert at the Tweeter Center. Imagine 25,000 screaming fans, perfect weather and awesome seats. It was incredible. Though we are a huge fan of intimate settings and up-and-coming bands, we enjoyed the huge crowd, music and overall feel of the outdoor concert. It really was the perfect way to start the summer. Now, we are fortunate to end our summer with an intimate,...

25,000 people packed into the Tweeter Center on Sunday night to see Mae, Ok Go and The Fray. Judging by how many people were there, I'm sure that some of you readers were there as well. I had a night that won't soon be forgotten. Treated like a royal, I was a escorted back to Mae's tour bus for an exclusive interview (look for it soon). I chatted, in the back of the tour...

Valentine's Day is only a few days away, and we here across the Gothamist network wanted to express would like to tell you, in the spirit of the holiday, just how much we love you, our readers. Don't let it get to your heads, though. There are plenty of things we love, you included. Just be glad you're not amongst the things we hate.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The trailer for The Matrix, redone entirely in CGI, and recast entirely with Muppets. The CGI isn't the best (which is understandable, given that this is a student project), but the casting is excellent. Rizzo the Rat as Cypher? Brilliant! Btw, make sure to stay through to the end; there's an amusing epilogue. (Via Jill) Apropos has got some great treadmill-related links today....
