From what I hear, this album is great, and what an unbelieveable first track to hear. I love this. MGMT is opening for Yeasayer, a quirken top ten record for 2007, at Schubas on Feb 8. I will be there, shirtless. Natch.

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am?

After months of tense and agonized waiting I finally saw There Will Be Blood this past weekend and it exceeded even my high expectations. Being that this is a music blog and I’m a strict follower of non-existent rules, I’ll only mention the music.

There is a band called Public Relations Exercise, from the UK.
Their myspace page features music that would likely fit right into one of Howard’s workout playlists.
They describe their sound as the future of metal rock. I can’t yet agree to that, but I dig their name. Can’t wait for Revenge of the Media […]

There was a post on Engadget about a team of scientists who created the blackest material in the universe, which made me think of “Smell the Glove,” the Spinal Tap album of which there is “none more black.” Which brings us to Guitar Friday and, well, you probably guessed it. Schmears.
