HERE THEY GO AGAIN: We first heard OK Go when they managed to get a song on the Madden 2003 soundtrack; considering how much time we spent jamming our digits in front of that game, we had ample opportunity for numerous listens, and our reaction was pretty blah. (Perhaps the band should have shortened its name to just "OK.") Then we saw them at the 9:30 Club when they opened for Rufus Wainwright last year. Again, the set was a'ight. Then they opted to close by playing their single straight off the album and performing a hilariously perfected dance choreography that caught all off guard and looked to be the talking point of the show. It should be no surprise, then, that the OK Go guys have capitalized on the novelty of their synchronized-dance talents, as almost all of their YouTubed music-vids go viral. » "OK Go - Here It Goes Again."

NO ONE, LISTENER OF OLD RADIO PROGRAMS: Feeling bummed because your 1937 Westinghouse radio just broke down? Eh, whatever, you hadn't been able to listen to your favorite episodes of "Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons" since the show went off the air in 1950. Unfortunately, upgrading to XM probably won't be able to help you recover the run of "David Harding, Counterspy" — are all old-time radio shows formatted as (Name), (Foreboding Title)? — but The Old Time Radio Network's online archives can. Get ready for all the "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" you can handle. [Old Time Radio Network]
SORRY, RAE CARRUTH FANS: Hey Patriots fans, want to get a Randall Gay jersey? Well, now you can get one — but until this year, you couldn't. That's because "gay" was one of more than a thousand words and phrases that the NFL's online shop prevented customers from getting on a personalized jersey. (This was discovered when some Web-savvy folks deconstructed the site's Java coding.) In case you're wondering what else you can't sport on your uniform, Outsports has the complete list. The good news: Now that you know what you can't have on it, you can figure out what you can have. We're eagerly awaiting our "BUTT ITCH" Redskins jersey. [Outsports]
HOW CAN LITTLE ROBOTS BETTER MY PEANUT BUTTER? You know what they say about nanotechnology ("they" being people who care about nanotechnology): The possibilities are endless! Well, maybe not. [AboutMyPlanet]
