I can confirm that they are indeed from Chicago....

Even cooler! Mad props for a Midwest band! Big grin

Ira Glass?! I'm all over that! Do you know the episode?

Every few years This American Life does a live show in Chicago (and few other cities). The last time they had one (2003) my wife went (she's got a bit of a crush on Ira, I think Big grin

). The show was called "Lost in America" and OK GO played music for the show. They also had art by Chris Ware (an amazing comic artist from Chicago, google him!) and one of the stories they did involved the creators of "Found" magazine (also worth checking out: http://www.foundmagazine.com/). So I was going to tell you you're out of luck, it's only live, but I just did a search and it seems that they recorded the show at some point. I think you can listen to it on the internet (of course, you can't see the art that way but oh well): http://www.thislife.org/pages/descriptions/03/239.html
