MGMT are horrendously overrated. They're a decent bad, with a lot of potential and some quality choons, but a whole rake of fake scenester types seem to have co-opted them.

Crumble Froo wrote: » scatbox, ill reply to your post when i can listen to teh vidjos you've posted... depends, how old are ya? :P agh, i've done so much in the last few years, i tend to feel a bit older than my years, doesnt help my fella is 19 years my senior (in the space of a month, he'll celebrate his 40th and ill celebrate my 21st!) and has a kid older than my own sister. which is the advantage of never listneign to radio, and not knowing other people in general. you miss out on the whole 'over-rated/overplayed' thing, and get to just enjoy the band in itself. dont have a radio in the house, and have only one music station, which i rarely watch (due to it being mainly cack, and stops playing music around about the time i get home from work).

I go out a lot, I've not been out frequently for hte past couple of months because of college, but usually I'd be out 3 or 4 nights a week minimum. So you end up overhearing stuff like MGMT. Plus, they're 'cool.' The two lads are pretty funky dudes from New Yawk, and people lap taht kind of stuff up. In the way electroclash or however you describe the Klaxons et al led to a whole wave of people dancing about in 80s clothes wearing glowsticks for a summer. (Ah the wet and merry summer of 07, how I miss you. :pac:) That always means a band gets overwhelming attention, and a whole attendant crowd. I walked by the MGMT gigs in the Ambassador and asked a couple of kids who was playing and when I found out asked how long they'd be listening to them. Not long. :pac:
