30 Day Song Challenge Day One: Favourite Song

I don't have a favourite song, it really could change every other day. There are so many songs I could have chosen for this, The Youth just happened to be something that popped into my head. I'm sure this song will bring back a lot of memories for people, especially anyone who saw MGMT in the summer of 2008 when they appeared at festivals performing Oracular Spectacular. 


It's a timeless summertime sunset song. Amazing.
Just pretend the video isn't happening...

MGMT - Congratulations

This is MGMT's new video for Congratulations which premiered yesterday!

They've gone down the Yeasayer route of having a weird creature in their video.

Also, dwindling sales of their new album (which is already on sale for a fiver in Ape) has prompted Andrew VanWyngarden to get his boobs out. Hey, I'm not complaining!

I love this song and remember hearing them play it at Heaven. It really stuck out for me.

Enjoy!

MGMT - It's Working

Thank God for college drop outs. What would we, or more specifically I, have done if MGMT hadn't quit Wesleyan University? What would I have spent the summer of 2008 listening religiously to?!

This year MGMT released their second album Congratulations following the soundtrack to summer 2008 that was Oracular Spectacular. I was lucky enough to see it performed before its release at Heaven in London which showed not only that they can pen amazing summer anthems, but are worthy musicians too. I love the heightened '60s vibe of this record, as well as the surprise that Andrew VanWyngarden can pull off some relatively normal clothes. Did he keep all those ponchos?

Today they released the follow up video to Flash Delirium, It's Working.
