Someone has taken Ok Go’s Here It Goes Again video and done a Lego version of it.

Here is the latest edition of the Over In About An Hour mixtape series. The inspiration for this playlist came to me this week as I spotted groups of teenagers heading back to high school after their summer vacation. Some time during my high school years, I think it was the summer of ’86, a [...]
