On this day in 2006, we released the Here It Goes Again music video. This video cost less than $5,000 and was shot in 17 very sweaty takes, but it took us to the Grammys, the VMAs, and to the email inboxes of millions of people (you couldn’t share videos to social media back then).

20 years later, we actually now can share this to social media. Enjoy!

@HelpAtGeorge can you look into why I haven’t received a refund yet? 3 items were returned on 8/7, but only 2 have been processed. They were all together, so unless the store opened them and lost one, I don’t understand what happened.

@theendofadecade I saw the Spice Girls on their last tour. There was a group of women sat behind me who managed to sneak in bottles of wine. They got absolutely hammered and one of them tried to pee in a bottle but it ended up all over the floor and under the seats. Vile.
