Wait... TAI is on MTV and the radio? When did this happen?! But yeah, same with me, I hate when bands get popular, because then their original die-hard fanbase sort of...Isn't any more. I used to be a HUGE Green Day fan, but now they've basically lost it.

TAI is alright. I only got a couple of songs by them. I only like 2-3 songs by them overall.
OK Go's pretty cool. |

So what's your all's favorite song by either of them? Mine's Classifieds and Season for TAI, and I don't have the OKGo CD so I don't know what the songs are called...

I've been a huge fan of The Academy Is for quite a while now. I actually made THIS THREAD last year on them [:
I haven't listened to much of OKGo, but I have heard "You're So Damn Hot" and liked it a lot. |

I like "Black Mamba" by The Academy Is...
And "Get Over It" is pretty much Ok Go's best song. |

I love The Phrase that Pays, Classifieds, Skeptics, and True Believers from the Academy Is. They're the band I listen to when I wake up every morning.

yeah, TAI's 'seasons' is on the radio.
I first heard of them when i joined their label(fueled by ramen)'s mailing list about a year ago. and i definetly liked them. Ok Go I've heard of but never heard. and i would go to purevolume, but purevolume hates me. |

I've heard a few of The Academy Is...'s songs and they're pretty awesome so I'm thinking of getting their cd sometime soon. I've seen some ads for OKGo in ElleGirl before but I've never actually heard any of their stuff.

The Academy Is... and OkGO are pretty amazing in my opinion. Yes, TAI... is on MTV. MTV2 to be exact.
Oh, The Hush Sound is so yummy! I saw them on tour with FFTL and FOB, but no one even cheered for them...or FFTL. I was dancing around in the pit, and everyone was glaring at me. A band becoming mainstream doesn't affect my liking towards them unless their sound changes and I'm not into that, but for the most part, I don't care about a band being indie or mainstream as long as they've got talent. |

"OK Go, Panic! At the Disco and The Hush Sound are all touring together!!! "
I know!! And I'm so mad, because OKGo isn't coming to my city, a different band is! But even if they were, I still wouldn't be allowed to go because where they're performing, people tend to get shot O_o It's a bad part of town. |

I wanna go to that one soooooooooooooo bad, but apparently tickets are sold out back home (Washington DC). Dresden Dolls put on a fantastic live show, and I expect no less from P!atD. The Hush Sound sounds pretty cool too, from what I've heard of them on purevolume. Also, if you're a fan of the whole cabaret, Brechtian punk thing that Panic! and The Hush Sound has going on, check out Humanwine. They were at the Dresden Dolls concert I went to last month and they're pretty awesome. They have a song you can listen/download off of purevolume. |
