OK Go have released yet another innovative music video of the band and performers from the troupe Pilobolus dancing and posing above a glass floor — and we get the underneath, upskirt view. It’s a lot cooler than that sounds, especially when several frames cover the screen and a mosaic of feet spell out words and bodies roll down the screen like raindrops. You can see an interactive version if you use Google Chrome here. Otherwise, head on over to the link. [vulture]
Microsoft and Apple took advantage of Amy Winehouse’s death to post reminders to purchase her album “Back to Black” on twitter and iTunes, respectively. Marketers were treating human beings like dollar signs?! My world has… changed… forever. Everything’s so bright and… sharp. [billboard]
The Periodic Table of Heavy Metal Bands. I’ll stick to Proto-Metal, thanks. Although, Sunn O))) looks intriguing. Doom Metal, huh? Maybe I can get on disability. [the high definite]

And album art on Facebook is their first stop! Now excuse me while I browse through thousands of bikini pictures of young girls who have public profiles. [blurt]
