Some people choose to indulge with their shirts on, and then there is MGMT
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.

Your pix went away. But that’s not my real point.
No doubt that MGMT makes catchy new psychedelic music, but can’t agree with their tongue-in-cheek sentiments in ‘Time to Pretend’… no matter how funny they think they are being: “This is our decision to live fast and die young. We’ve got the vision. Now let’s have some fun.”
Shit, we’ve seen enough truly pathetic stars-in-rehab stories over the last few months alone to make this observation boring. There’s plenty o’ ways to live fast and have fun without wanting to die young.
If their lyrics had an everyman’s perspective, instead of a sardonic slap at young hollywood and young rockstars, it’d be a better song, imho.
