Today's Song of the Day is Ok Go - This Too Shall Pass, the second music video release from the band's newest album, Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky.

In their usual fashion, the band famous for the treadmill-music-video has released a low-cost video that they filmed independently - with a little help from the Notre Dame Marching Band, that is. Check it out below and tell us what you think of it in our poll.

Only a week after a rumor ignited that the legendary Abbey Road Studios were for sale, the landmark where The Beatles recorded has officially been declared a history building. After years of struggling financially, the owners of the property, EMI Group Ltd, looked for solutions to breathe life back into the studios that to this day, still draw tourists daily.

The declaration by the English Heritage that the north London building be named a historic landmark will allow the studios to be preserved for many future generations of music fans to enjoy. Helen Bowman, spokeswoman for the organization that oversees buildings of historic interest - said the process to name the building a landmark was likely "sped up" due to the recent controversy and rumors that the studio might be sold.

English Heritage Chief Executive Simon Thurley said in a statement that the Georgian building housing the studios "acts as a modern day monument to the history of recorded sound and music."

"Some of the most defining sounds of the 20th century were created within the walls of the Abbey Road Studios," he said. "It contains, quite simply, the most famous recording studios in the world."

The studios best known as the namesake of The Beatles' eleventh album is also popular with orchestra groups and artists like Radiohead and Pink Floyd.

We're happy to hear ownership of the studios will not be changing hands anytime soon, and that the livelihood of the iconic edifice will be maintained for years to come.

Scientists revealed on Tuesday that fossils from a previously undiscovered species of dinosaur have been found in sandstone slabs in a Utah quarry. The bones were in stone that was so hard, explosives had to be used just so researchers could gain access to find out what type of dinosaur they were from. Turns out, they are that of a new type of sauropod - vegetarian dinosaurs with long necks (like a Brontosaurus) that are thought to be the largest land-dwelling animals ever.

Among the findings were two completely in-tact skulls from other types of sauropods, something that is very rare in the archeological world - of the currently 120 known species of sauropods, complete skulls have only been found for eight. The discoveries will allow scientists to learn more about how these species lived 105 million years ago, as well as more about their role in the evolutionary process.

Naturally, paleontologists are alive with excitement about the discovery.

"You can hardly overstate the significance of these fossils," said Dan Chure, a paleontologist at the monument that straddles the Utah-Colorado border.

"This is absolutely No. 1 in terms of projects I've had the opportunity to work on," said Brooks Britt, a Brigham Young University paleontologist who co-authored a study on the fossils along with University of Michigan researchers.

The newly discovered species has been dubbed Abydosaurus mcintoshi, part of the larger brachiosaurus family.

Interestingly, the bones were actually discovered in 2005, but due to the nature of the rocks, researchers have just now gained a closer look. Paleontologists working in the quarry believe they have found skeletal remains of at least four other dinosaurs, all around 25 feet long.

Utah-locals or dinosaur enthusiasts can check out the bones on temporary display at Brigham Young University's Museum of Paleontology.

A new (I mean, old) dinosaur! What an exciting discovery. It makes you wonder what else is out there, waiting for us to find it.

This morning, we took to our Facebook Fan page to get your suggestions for what today's Song of the Day should be. The nominations bubbled up and before we knew it, our page was filled with a stream of random song choices! Never again will we forget to include a poll in our request for your SOTD votes.

That being said, today's Song of the Day is a song that wasn't nominated a single time, but rather, Kanye West's new single (the first since his outburst at the VMAs) - Coldest Winter. The song is from his 2008 release '808s and Heartbreaks.' Have a look at the new music video below, and let us know what you think of the track in our poll below!

As most of us land-dwelling creatures know, the ocean makes up about 70% of the total surface area of the Earth. You don't have to be a mathematician to know - that's a lot. The ocean isn't just wide, though - it's deep... very, very, deep. If you've ever wondered just how deep, you should take a look at this amazing image that illustrates ocean depth scaled to human size.

fjdlk;jaks;dfa! Did anyone else just get the heebie jeebies? As the image notes, only 10% of the ocean has been mapped. That's minuscule! What else do you think is down there?!

Playgirl magazine has made PETA and Michael Vick and scandalous offer that will be very hard to refuse - a $1 million donation in exchange for the footballer stripping down for the adult magazine.

A spokesman for Playgirl confirmed the proposal, saying “I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday, but we haven’t heard back yet. I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals? This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he’d have to do is pose for the magazine! It’s kind of a win-win situation!”

PETA, who still aren't sold on Michael Vick and his recovery from his days of promoting dog-fighting, has refused to work with the athlete in the past. Vick has launched a campaign to end dog-fighting with animal rights organization The Humane Society of United States. Perhaps they would be a better "in" to getting Vick on the pages of Playgirl?

The truth is, posing for Playgirl isn't a publicist's dream come true for a client who has a poor track record, but a million dollars is a million dollars.
