AS PER USUAL, the crazy paranoid Music Chieftains have DECREED that the Youtube video of "Upside Down & Inside Out" be taken down.
(Really, Why? It'll will be back sooner than later.)
IN THE MEANWHILE, OK (and go) HERE (the video SHOULD work): http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/11/ok-go-zero-g-music-video/
OK Go
flies in zero G for
its latest music video
Floating weightlessly is so much fun...
if you're not susceptible to motion sickness
Chicago-based band OK Go has released a fun and colorful music videoshot entirely inside a parabolic plane. Since a parabolic flight goes up and down like a wave, it induces periods of microgravity and hypergravity (1.8 times the strength of gravity). Space agencies have been using the technique for decades to train their astronauts before shipping them off to space.
While it looks like the band had lots of fun -- you can see them in the video floating weightlessly and doing acrobatics -- these flights are no joke. They can be so intense that NASA's first parabolic plane was dubbed the "Vomit Comet." OK Go joined forces with Russian carrier S7 Airlines to shoot the video, but you have a choice closer to home that's tried and tested by Stephen Hawking.

I saw this yesterday and got all excited. Almost notified you, but I figured if you hadn't seen it already you soon would. :D

(If one might rate everything in the helter skelter jackdaw jumble in the attic of my mind, from dross to the shiny, any new OK Go video is going to be one of the more happy making--CAW!)
