The only way to get this year’s playlist up later than I did last year was to do it on NYE. Luckily, I kept a running list through-out 2010 that ended up with about 100 songs on it (too many!), and had to ax a lot of favorites. So, if the below 60 song playlist [...]

I am a bit mystified as to how the PS 22 Chorus hadn’t already done MGMT’s “Kids.” This has now officially been covered by everyone. (AHIAS)

LATE! Late alert. The Ooks of Hazzard are a 9 piece ukulele band from Venice whose cover of MGMT’s late 00′s classic, “Kids”, has nearly 300,000 views on Youtube in just over a month. This first appeared on my Facebook wall earlier this week, and then on my Twitter feed with a profile in the [...]

Austin Texas’ Fun Fun Fun Fest (not to be confused with LA’s FYF Fest, which I will be stage-hopping at this weekend) just released the full line-up and schedule for their 5th annual music festival at Waterloo Park this November. Headliners for the two day fest include MGMT, A-trak, RJD2, Devo, and Mastodon (plus a [...]

In their newest clip for Congratulations title track, MGMT continue to display symptoms of Flash Delirium alongside a live, decaying sand alien.

There is a moment towards the end of Air’s “It’s Working” remix where you realize that this should have been the version released by MGMT. As much as Congratulations has managed to grow on me in the past few months, there is nothing as triumphant as Air’s reinterpretation of the album’s best track. The remix [...]

MGMT brought two of the best tracks off of Congratulations (still officially unrated) to Jimmy Fallon last night. “It’s Working” and “Congratulations” are both featured in the video above. The ‘bonus song’ that Fallon mentions at the end is a web exclusive performance of “Time to Pretend” from the more officially rated Oracular Spectacular. Still [...]

The live television performances of MGMT’s Congratulations tracks are steadily improving, but the crowd still hesitates to applaud at the end of “Brian Eno”, above, and Letterman’s sign-off couldn’t have been more awkward if it were preceded by Andrew VanWyngarden breaking a tiny guitar against his amp and then getting it stuck on his cape [...]

MGMT are taking a few weeks off after this weekend’s Bamboozle performance (which included “Kids”) before setting out on a summer long North American tour in support of [the interesting, conversation sparking] Congratulations. Dates added to the list include Radio City in NYC, which will now be their final date in the US before heading [...]

It would seem that MGMT are in on it. Between not playing any of their beloved singles at festival appearances (though, my sources say they did do “Kids” yesterday at Bamboozle), to “not giving” a “sh*t” if people say the album sucks, to letting that weird wide-eyed guy steal the show on their SNL appearance, [...]
