OK Go In The Middle of Nowhere

[dog howling]

[birds chirping]

Uh, an average day at Tarbox Studios

goes something like this:

um, we wake up generally around 10:00 or 11:00.

We wake up at 10:00 if we want to go to Darwin's gym

to work out. To get some exercise.

[someone offscreen] How was your workout A-Ross?

I basically ran for 15 minutes and then read People Magazine.

If we don't go to the gym, then usually people rise

around 11, we get up, Andy generally makes like eggs,

and a cooked asparagus-type breakfast.

And then, um, Dave Fridman, our MIGHTY PRODUCER

shows up around noon.

And uh, then we discuss what we want to work on.

Let's uh... should I put some

"boogity-bip-bop-bap on that?"

Something that's going "whaaaaaaaa," to something

that happens in chunks?

After the third round or so, I kinda just want to

hear you kind of like, "tabaklabeebalaklabityboo."

"Tumdebubbitakubbita-boom."

I also think don't think you should "ka-splarsh" into

the beginning.

Here, let me give this some "deww-trap!"

And then we are going to- I think we may all go in together

and play this one live.

[Damian's guitar leads into the whole band playing.]

So, generally speaking, um, we'll track a song in a day,

and usually by around 8-9pm, we've got a drum track

and we'll put it together, and we'll start overdubbing

whatever we need to overdub onto that song.

[various sound effects and instrumental tracks]

And we usually stop around midnight.

And then after that... we often make chocolate chip cookies.

Um [thunderous sound in background]

we usually make enough so everyone can have two...

... what the... that- I dont know if the microphone picked

that up, but there was a sound that went

something like "shhhhrrroooooooo"

and that was the sound of snow falling

off the roof. Is what that was.

That was snow melting and falling off the roof!

Cause there's a lot of snow going on, here in Fredonia,

New York. A lot of snow. It's been

blizzarding for 3 days straight now.

It's unbelievable.

[ending of their song "In the Glass"]
