I'm not going to lie. The sole purpose of this post is so I can have another one labeled "handbells." For reals though, those are some big freaking bells. According to the source, they're the biggest in the world. I hope Em Lindo -- the only bona fide handbell player I know -- is appropriately impressed.
My roommate Allie, her boyfriend John, and our friend Julia and I saw OK Go back in April. (I'd also seen them when they came to Northwestern in...was it 2007?) They put on a phenomenal show, including performing "What to Do" on handbells. HANDBELLS. I wasn't close enough to get video or even a good photo, so here's a video from their San Diego show last year. The white gloves really make the performance.
Moral of the story: Of all the bands I've seen live, OK Go is clearly having the most fun on stage. Which just makes it an awesome show. If you get the chance to see them live, go.
Also re: the posted video, note the random, silent presence of Zach Galifianakis. Like, what?
