Just last week we told you about all the Glitterati spotted on OurStage including Rainn Wilson, Rachel Ray and T-Pain. Well now, they are coming out in droves!

You might remember Vivian Darkbloom from our post about their Wii/Guitar mashup. They are getting all kinds of buzz for their creativity and are currently featured on Rainn Wilson’s new site, SoulPancake. The site is a place where artists and intellectuals meet to discuss big, and sometimes taboo, questions. Vivian Darkbloom’s Rob Morris was selected for the sites inaugural artist interview, which covered a variety of strange and interesting topics:

SP: When do you feel most creative?
RM: I feel most creative when I’m in a place of absolute loneliness. Out of emptiness, I feel most strongly the need to create.

Then, the very next day, guess who pays a visit to Vivian Darkblomm? OK Go’s Andy Ross and Damian Kulash! They had to give Rob’s Wiitar a spin for themselves. They also did some YouTube marketing brainstorming together so keep an eye out for some interesting videos. We all know what OK Go is capable of producing, so we know whatever they have up their sleeves is bound to be good!

For our parting shot, we offer you a somewhat related video pulled from the ever-entertaining SoulPancake. See, we told you Dwight Schrute loves indie music!
