MGMT interview with T. Cole Rachel #3 (continued

posted by Heya

AV: Yeah, we recorded in upstate New York. We were shooting BB guns in between recording and eating a lot of pizza and chicken fingers, and it kind of just felt like fun times.

TCR: Do anda feel if the label hadn't come your way, anda guys would have just gone off on separate paths and the band would have ended?

AV: Oh, yeah, most definitely. That's what I had assumed was going to happen. Even six months before we signed our deal, we were in very different places, and I remember rarely even talking to Ben, because he didn't have a phone out in the woods where he was working at a construction job....

Ben Goldwasser interview with UGO

posted by Heya

MGMT have blown up. Capitalizing on a unique brand of psychedelic electro-rock (we like to call it "hippie-glitz"), anthemic lyrics anda can't get out of your head, and a sense of irony that may atau may not be ironic at all, the band has gone from a musik blog footnote to a major label international act in less than a year.

On Thursday, August 7 the band appears on Sundance Channel's Live from Abbey Road. Ben Goldwasser, who founded MGMT with Andrew VanWyngarden during their freshman tahun at Wesleyan universitas in 2001, chatted with us about the recording experience, remixes, praying mantises,...

We will gladly send it to anda to see it,the short movie, atau to a representative atau to group manager atau your agent atau a layer, but please send me am email adress atau a contact number on my email adress because we are eager to obtain the copyrights from you.
So my pertanyaan is this: how can we buy the song copyright from you??with who do we have to talk with???

MGMT Interview #1

posted by Heya

With neon headbands, funky synth melodies, and jokey anthems about living fast and dying young, MGMT danced their way from Wesleyan's dorm rooms onto our iTunes playlists -- and were awarded with a pair of Grammy noms just last month. This spring the duo will release their detik album, Congratulations, and singer Andrew Vanwyngarden has a warning for fans: "It's definitely going to shock people.

"We dropped any sort of irony that was on the first record, and Congratulations feels true to who we really are," the 26-year-old tells SPIN.com.

MGMT Interview #2 (continued)

Is there any specific experience with Ecstasy that influenced that song?
No, not really. But that's how we envisioned the track when we were menulis it. It stops and starts a lot; it's frantic, confusing. There's also a surfing thread throughout the record. When you're surfing, there's a specific break you're paddling to. And when the waves are really good anda say, "It's working." The song kind of has a surf-y vibe. It's like surfing on ecstasy. Which is what the "Time to Pretend" video is like. Actually, the video is lebih like surfing on acid.

You spent a lot of time surfing while recording...

MGMT with T. COLE RACHEL #1

posted by Heya

Depending on who anda ask, MGMT is either the new messiah of pop musik atau a couple of extraordinarily handsome charlatans who have managed to dupe the entire listening world into loving them. The duo has been described at different turns as Nu Rave, psychedelic dance musik for hippies, hallucinatory luar angkasa rock, and a tired throwback to New York City's hipster-electroclash years-all of which might be a little bit true. But there's no denying one thing: Brooklyn-based Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Vanwyngarden, who are both 25, have an uncanny knack for producing pop musik that sounds as if it were...

TCR: The two of anda met in art school, right?

BG: Yeah, we were both studying musik at Wesleyan [University].

TCR: I guess the aesthetic of the band has changed pretty dramatically since anda first started?

BG: We went from being students who had this band that we were doing for fun on the side to having it be the only thing we're putting our time into. So, anda know, whether we consciously did it atau not, it's become a serious thing that we're investing ourselves in. It would be hard to keep doing this if we didn't take it seriously.

TCR: At what point did anda say, "Okay, this is my full-time job"?...
